Patent number: 7671298Abstract: A heating line pattern structure is provided, in which the effect of the heating lines of a defogger on an antenna for a TV broadcast especially for a digital TV broadcast may be decreased. The defogger is structured by arranging heating lines between bus bars on both sides. The portion of an uppermost heating line in proximity to the monopole antenna are folded rectangularly at a regular interval to form a meander shape. One lateral heating line is extended under the meander-shaped heating line portion, and is connected to a vertical heating line to which four lateral heating lines are connected together.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Ryokichi Doi, Hiroshi Iijima, Kazuo Takayama, Kouichi Chikaishi
