Abstract:
1. A composite pane arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising: a first pane; a second pane forming a composite pane with the first pane; an intermediate layer of an adhesive polymer material that connects the first pane and the second pane, the intermediate layer having a first side coupled to the first pane and a second side coupled to the second pane; and an optical sensor device configured to optically detect moisture on an outer surface of the composite pane facing away from the intermediate layer, the optical sensor device arranged between the first pane and the second pane in a recess defined on the first side of the intermediate layer, and electrically contacted with substantially transparent and laminar conductive traces that are applied on the second side of the intermediate layer through contact pins that extend from the optical sensor to the conductive traces, wherein the recess is defined in a middle of the first side of the intermediate layer such that the optical sensor device is positioned in a middle of the composite pane arrangement.
