The invention relates in an embodiment to a glass substrate with increased weathering and chemical resistance where a surface bears a SiOxCy coating wherein the O/Si atomic ratio is comprised between 1.75 and 1.95 and the SiOxCy coating thickness is comprised between 10 nm and 80 nm. Other embodiments relate to glazings having a glass substrate where a surface bears a SiOxCy coating wherein the O/Si atomic ratio is comprised between 1.2 and 1.95 and the SiOxCy coating thickness is comprised between 10 nm and 80 nm.

In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a carbon-doped zirconium based layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the carbon-doped zirconium oxide and/or nitride based layer to result in a carbon-doped zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or chemically durable. The doping of the layer with carbon (C) has been found to improve wear resistance.

Foldable substrates comprise a first portion, a second portion, and a central portion positioned therebetween. The central portion comprises a first central surface area recessed from a first major surface by a first distance and a second central surface area. A second major surface comprises the second central surface area. A blunted edge extends around an entire periphery of the foldable substrate. The blunted edge comprising a first blunted surface area where the blunted edge meets the first major surface and a second blunted surface area where the blunted edge meets the second major surface. Methods comprise laminating the foldable substrate with support layers before removing a peripheral portion of an initial edge of the foldable substrate to form an intermediate edge. The intermediate edge is contacted with an etchant to form the blunted edge. Methods further comprise removing the support layers from the foldable substrate.

Asymmetrically strengthened glass articles, methods for producing the same, and use of the articles in portable electronic device is disclosed. Using a budgeted amount of compressive stress and tensile stress, asymmetric chemical strengthening is optimized for the utility of a glass article. In some aspects, the strengthened glass article can be designed for reduced damage, or damage propagation, when dropped.

A glass container that includes a microwave susceptor coating on an exterior surface thereof, and a process for healing flaws in an exterior portion of the glass container. When the glass container is exposed to microwave radiation, the microwave susceptor coating generates heat and selectively and locally provides a major portion of such heat to regions of glass in the exterior portion of the glass container that are in close proximity to the flaws. These regions of glass in the exterior portion of the glass container may be selectively and locally heated so that the glass therein can flow and thereby fill-in the flaws in the exterior portion of the glass container. This process can be used to heal flaws in an exterior portion of a glass container without impairing the structural integrity of the glass container.

A projection assembly includes a light source for p-polarized light and a composite pane including an outer pane with exterior-side and interior-side surfaces, an inner pane with exterior-side and interior-side surfaces, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer. In at least one first subregion of the composite pane, a reflection layer for reflecting the p-polarized light of the light source is arranged on the interior-side surface of the inner pane and/or the exterior-side surface of the inner pane, directly adjacent the surroundings, the interior-side surface of the inner pane is the surface of the composite pane nearest the light source for p-polarized light, at least one opaque cover layer is arranged at least in a second subregion of the composite pane, and a projection of the first subregion into the plane of the second subregion is at least partially congruent therewith. The reflection layer includes at least one metal carbide-based layer.

The present disclosure provides a method of an ultrafast-pulsed laser deposition and a device thereof, wherein a single emitted femtosecond pulse is split, and the split pulses are synchronized in the time domain, and then coupled with each other to form a plasma grating or lattice to excite the target material once; then multiple pulsed lasers are sequentially coupled multiple times with the plasma gratings or lattices to excite the target material multiple times, and the excited target material is deposited and reacted on the substrate to form a thin film.

A laminated pane includes an outer pane, a thermoplastic intermediate layer, an inner pane, a masking layer arranged in a region of the laminated pane, an adhesive layer, and a glass pane having an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface and a thickness of 20 m to 500 m. The thermoplastic intermediate layer is arranged between the outer and inner panes, the adhesive layer is arranged between the inner pane and the glass pane, at least one reflection layer for reflecting light is arranged on the outer-side surface of the glass pane and/or on the interior-side surface of the glass pane, and the glass pane is arranged in a region of the laminated pane which, when viewed perpendicularly through the laminated pane, lies entirely within the region in which the masking layer is arranged. The reflective layer contains of a dielectric layer, a silicon-based layer, or a carbide layer.

A glass panel is provided, including a glass panel substrate and a composite film layer disposed on a surface of the glass panel substrate. The composite film layer includes a first base layer, a first barrier layer, a diamond-like carbon film layer, a second barrier layer, a second base layer, and an anti-fingerprint layer that are sequentially stacked. The glass panel is coated with the composite film layer having a specific structure on the surface of the glass panel substrate, so that the glass panel can have high Mohs hardness, to improve a scratch resistance capability of the glass panel. In addition, the composite film layer has strong adhesion to the surface of the substrate and is not easily detached. The composite film layer can further reduce a color difference before and after coating to a specific extent, and increase transmittance.
