10. A method for the manufacture of a mirror pane having the following steps of operation:
-
providing a substrate of plastic with a front side and a rear side; providing a negative image of at least one resistance heating strip with electrical connection contacts; coating the rear side of the substrate in such a manner that no metal is deposited within the surface of said negative image; and subjecting the plastic substrate to electrical deposition current so that the front side and the rear side of the substrate, with the exception of the negative images, receive a metal coating. - View Dependent Claims (11)
