Abstract: The present invention relates to windows having a capacitive rain detector. Windows according to the invention are composed of at least one rigid sheet exposed to the rain, the window bearing a capacitive rain detector that is not on the face exposed to rain, the detector comprising electrodes consisting of a thin conducting material, a material that is substantially transparent at these thicknesses, this conducting material covering only a limited part of the window, and substantially corresponding to the electrodes of the detector. Windows according to the invention are used in particular for motor vehicles.
