  • the positioning jig 150 it is possible to accurately recognize the position of the portion of the Low-e film 11C (heat ray reflecting film) to be removed.
  • the positioning jig 150 is frame-shaped when viewed from the front of the window glass 11, and the area surrounded by the frame-shaped positioning jig 150 is the irradiation area of the laser 51, and the laser 51 may be irradiated from the surface side on which the housing 110 of the window glass 11 is provided. Since the laser 51 is irradiated from the surface side on which the housing 110 of the window glass 11 is provided, the position of the irradiation area of the laser 51 can be indicated by the frame shape, making it easier to grasp the outer edge of the irradiation area, and making it possible to remove the heat ray reflective film of the window glass 11 with higher positional accuracy.
  • the positioning jig 150 may be opaque to the laser 51 and plate-shaped, and the laser may be irradiated to the irradiation area through the window glass 11. Since the laser 51 is irradiated from the surface side of the window glass 11 opposite the surface on which the housing 110 is provided, the plate-shaped positioning jig 150 can prevent the laser 51 from passing through to the surface side on which the housing 110 of the window glass 11 is provided.
