Abstract
A vehicle composite pane having an outer pane made of glass and an inner pane made of glass that are bonded to one another via a polymeric intermediate layer is presented. According to one aspect, the intermediate layer includes a first wedge inlay and a second wedge inlay that are made of different materials, each of the inlays being wedge-shaped and having a wedge face. According to another aspect, the wedge faces are positioned one atop the other so that, in the direction from a lower edge to an upper edge of the composite pane, the thickness of the first wedge inlay increases and the thickness of the second wedge inlay decreases. According to a further aspect, at least one of the wedge inlays has a refractive index that differs from the refractive index of the outer pane and of the inner pane.

16. A vehicle composite pane, comprising:
-
a polymeric intermediate layer; an outer pane made of glass; and an inner pane made of glass that is bonded to the outer pane via the polymeric intermediate layer, wherein a region of the polymeric intermediate layer is formed from a first wedge inlay and a second wedge inlay made of a material that is different from a material of the first wedge inlay, wherein each of the first wedge inlay and the second wedge inlay is wedge-shaped and comprises a respective first wedge face and second wedge face, wherein the first wedge face and the second wedge face are positioned one atop the other so that, in a direction from a lower edge to an upper edge of the composite pane, a thickness of the first wedge inlay increases and a thickness of the second wedge inlay decreases, and wherein at least one of the first wedge inlay and the second wedge edge inlay has a refractive index that differs from a refractive index of the outer pane and of the inner pane. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34)

32. A method for producing a vehicle composite pane, the method comprising:
-
providing an inner pane made of glass; providing an outer pane made of glass; providing a polymeric intermediate layer, wherein a region of the polymeric intermediate layer is formed from a first wedge inlay and a second wedge inlay made of a material that is different from a material of the first wedge inlay, wherein each of the first wedge inlay and the second wedge inlay is wedge-shaped and comprises a respective first wedge face and second wedge face, wherein the first wedge face and the second wedge face are positioned one atop the other so that, in a direction from a lower edge to an upper edge of the composite pane, a thickness of the first wedge inlay increases and a thickness of the second wedge inlay decreases, and wherein at least one of the first wedge inlay and the second wedge edge inlay has a refractive index that differs from a refractive index of the outer pane and of the inner pane; areally arranging the outer pane and the inner pane one atop the other with the polymeric intermediate layer therebetween; and bonding by lamination the outer pane to the inner pane via the intermediate layer.
