pane

Glazier's flat piece

A pane is a single sheet of glass in a window or door.

Windows may have multiple panes separated by frames: a six-pane window.

The word extends to other flat, framed sections: a pane of ice, the panes of a honeycomb.

In computing, a pane is a bounded section of a window display.
