The invention provides a glass sheet or another transparent substrate on which there is provided a static-dissipative coating. The static-dissipative coating includes a film comprising titania. The film comprising titania preferably is exposed so as to define an outermost face of the static-dissipative coating. The static-dissipative coating is characterized by an indoor dust collection factor of less than 0.145.

Provided is an optical member which includes: a substrate; and a laminated structure including two or more kinds of layers having different materials which are disposed on the substrate, in which the number of layers constituting the laminated structure is 10 or more, the maximum layer thickness of the layers constituting the laminated structure is 8 nm or less, and the minimum transmittance in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm or in a wavelength range of 6 m to 12 m is 10% or more.

A cathode sputtering target is formed, on the one hand, from an oxide of at least one element chosen from the group of titanium, silicon and zirconium and, on the other hand, of particles of a metal included in the group formed by silver, gold, platinum, copper and nickel or particles of an alloy formed from at least two of these metals, the atomic ratio M/Me in the target being less than 1.5, M representing all of the atoms of the elements of the group of titanium, silicon and zirconium present in the layer and Me representing all of the atoms of the metals of the group formed by silver, gold, platinum, copper and nickel present in the layer.

A dielectric mirror includes a coating having alternating high and low index layers. The mirror coating has no metallic reflective layer of Al or Ag in certain example embodiments, and may have film side and/or glass side visible reflection of from about 50-90% (more preferably from about 60-80% and most preferably from about 65-75%) and visible transmission of from about 10-50% (more preferably from about 10-40% or 20-40%) in certain example embodiments.

Coated articles for use in backsplash applications such as kitchen backsplashes, bathroom backsplashes, and bathroom floor/wall applications. The coated article includes a coating on a glass substrate, where the coating includes a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of metal-based layers and is configured so that the coated article has desirable glass side reflective coloration (e.g., bronze, blue, silver, and/or grey coloration) and is sufficiently opaque to hide adhesive used to adhere the coated article to walls/floors. The coating may be configured to realize thermal stability in order to have minimal or reduced glass side reflective color shift up heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering).
