Patent ID: 8450661

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a heat-generating panel having an electrically-conductive thin layer provided on at least one surface of a translucent plate and the electrically-conductive thin layer is caused to generate heat by supplying electric power to the same, comprising: fixing a metal strip onto the electrically-conductive thin layer formed on the plate along each of the opposing sides of the plate; applying an electrically-conductive paste over each of the metal strips to cover the same; contacting a heat-generating portion of a heating device at edges forming the two sides of the plate where the metal strip is fixed in a state in which a temperature of the heat-generating portion is above a predetermined temperature, the heat-generating portion being longer than at least a full length of the metal strip, heat-generating and curing the electrically-conductive paste to form electrodes having the metal strip and the electrically-conductive paste; and connecting a conductor wire electrically to each of the electrodes.
