Abstract

A laminated structure [10; 20; 30] formed of a ceramic color layer and a conductive layer comprises a ceramic color layer [2; 22; 32] formed on the surface of plate glass [11] and a conductive layer [3] formed on the surface of said ceramic color layer and containing silver ions. At least a partial layer [2; 22b; 32b] constituting said ceramic color layer and located on the side on which said conductive layer is formed is comprised of any one of a ceramic layer [2; 22b] containing a reducing agent and a ceramic layer [32b] having a higher melting point.

Claims

1. A laminated structure formed of a ceramic color layer and a conductive layer, comprising:

a ceramic color layer formed on a surface of a glass plate; and

a conductive layer formed on a surface of said ceramic color layer and containing silver ions;

wherein a partial layer constituting at least said ceramic color layer, located on a same side of said plate as said conductive layer is located, comprises a ceramic layer containing a reducing agent.

2. The laminated structure according to claim 1, wherein said partial layer constituting said ceramic color layer and located on the side on which said conductive layer is formed comprising only said ceramic color layer itself, and said ceramic color layer contains a reducing agent.

3. The laminated structure according to claim 2, wherein said reducing agent contained in said ceramic color layer is powder of a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Fe, Al, Pb, Sn and Zn.

4. The laminated structure according to claim 3, wherein said ceramic color layer contains 2.0 to 20 wt. % of said metal serving as said reducing agent.

5. The laminated structure according to claim 4, wherein said ceramic color layer contains 5.0 to 10 wt. % of said metal serving as said reducing agent.

6. The laminated structure according to claim 1, wherein said reducing agent contained in said partial layer of said ceramic color layer is powder of a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Fe, Al, Pb, Sn and Zn.

7. The laminated structure according to claim 6, wherein said partial ceramic layer of said ceramic color layer contains 1.0 to 20 wt. % of said metal serving as said reducing agent.

8. The laminated structure according to claim 7, wherein said partial ceramic layer of said ceramic color layer contains 3.0 to 8.0 wt. % of said metal serving as said reducing agent.

9. The laminated structure according to claim 12, wherein;

the melting temperature for said first color layer of said ceramic color layer is 30°

to 70°

C. higher than the melting temperature for said second color layer; and

said first and second color layers are simultaneously fired on said plate glass at the melting temperature for said second color layer.

12. The laminated structure according to claim 1, wherein said ceramic color layer is formed on a peripheral portion of the surface of the plate glass.

14. The laminated structure according to claim 1, wherein said partial layer includes first and second layers, respectively located adjacent said glass plate and adjacent said conductive layer, wherein said second layer includes said reducing agent therein.

10. A laminated structure formed of a ceramic color layer and a conductive layer, comprising:

a ceramic color layer formed on a surface of a glass plate; and

a conductive layer formed on a surface of said ceramic color layer and containing silver ions;

wherein at least a partial layer constituting said ceramic color layer, located on a same side of said plate on which said conductive layer is located, comprises a first ceramic color layer having a relatively high melting point and a second ceramic color layer having a relatively low melting point,

said relatively low melting point of said second ceramic color layer being lower than said relatively high melting point of said first ceramic color layer.

11. The laminated structure according to claim 10, wherein said melting point of said first color layer is higher than the melting point of said second color layer by a temperature in the range of 30 to 70 degrees centrigrade.

13. The laminated structure according to claim 10, wherein said second ceramic color layer is located on a side of said ceramic color layer facing said glass plate and said first ceramic color layer is located on a side of said ceramic color layer facing said conductive layer.
