A heating device and a temperature control device are provided. The heating device includes a heating element, and a heat conducting film disposed on the surface of the heating element, wherein the heat conducting film has a surface area that is larger than the contact area between the heat conducting film and the heating element. The heat conducting film is used for uniformly conducting heat generated by the heating element. Therefore, the existing non-uniform heating and slow heat dissipation problems for the heating element having a large surface area can be solved. Furthermore, because the metallic heat conducting film has good heat conduction, the heat can be quickly spread over a larger area to prevent localized overheating and damage to the heating element itself or the electrical product.

Heated windshields, which utilize a transparent conductive coating, are increasing in popularity due to the rapid deice defog action and higher efficiency of such products. With the limited waste heat available in electric and hybrid electric vehicles, cabin heating and defrosting must be done with electric power. One of the problems in designing a heated windshield is hiding the busbars from view for the exterior of the vehicle. This is especially a problem when the coating is on the inner surface of the exterior glass layer which is the preferred embodiment for both solar control and defrosting. The normal black obscuration cannot be applied over the coating and it is very expensive to first paint and then coat the glass. The invention makes use of a thin conductive layer placed between the bus bars and the coating which serves to hide the bus bars from view providing a glazing with an improved aesthetic. 1. A laminated glass comprising:at least two glass layers, an outer glass layer and an inner glass layer;at least one plastic bonding layer;at least two bus bars;at least two thin sheets of a conductive material; anda transparent conductive layer;wherein said at least two thin sheets of a conductive material are positioned between the conductive layer and said at least two bus bars; andwherein said at least two glass layers, said at least two bus bars, said at least two thin sheets of a conductive material and the transparent conductive layer are bonded together to form a laminate by means of said at least one plastic bonding layer.2.
