A glazing includes a first glass sheet, a resistive coating extending across a part of the first glass sheet, first and second busbars connected to the resistive coating, a data transmission window in the resistive coating, comprising a plurality of deletion lines in the resistive coating, a plurality of channels, formed by the plurality of deletion lines, and at least one conductive element positioned in at least one of the channels. The conductive element is separated from the first and second busbars by the resistive coating.

Mesoporous nanostructured coatings are disclosed. The coatings comprise particles of a refractory material, the particles having diameters <200 nm, connected by a material that is formed from a precursor that is deposited on the substrate with the particles, typically by oxidation of the precursor. The material that connects the particles enhances their necking and adhesion to the substrate. In preferred embodiments, the coatings are multi-functional, combining anti-reflective properties with a second property such as self-cleaning or anti-soiling. A novel method for making the coatings, based on inkjet technology, is also disclosed.

A glazing includes at least one glass sheet provided on one of the faces with an electrical network having resistance strips and collector strips, in which at least one portion of one face includes at least one strip obtained from an electrically conductive composition including a silver paste, the strip being in contact with another strip obtained from an electrically conductive composition including a copper paste, the other strip obtained from an electrically conductive composition including a copper paste being completely covered with a protective enamel layer.

A method of coating a polyimide film and a method of fabricating a display panel are provided by the embodiments of the present invention. The method of coating a polyimide film includes providing a glass substrate and at least one nozzle; forming a nanomaterial filled graphic letterpress on the glass substrate, wherein the nanomaterial filled graphic letterpress is formed with a plurality of protrusions; and spraying a polyimide liquid on the nanomaterial filled graphic letterpress by the at least one nozzle to form a polyimide film.

A method of manufacturing a glass container in preparation for direct digital printing includes forming a glass container having a glass wall and applying a primer coating to the glass container. The primer coating is applied by directing an atomized spray of an aqueous primer composition onto the glass container over an adherent base layer, such as a hot-end coating, which deposits the primer coating, followed by heating the primer coating with a heat source such as a flame. Upon being heated, the clarity of the primer coating is increased. As a result, a decorative marking may be printed onto the glass container without having to pretreat the glass container in a way that involves pyrolytically depositing a layer of silicon dioxide onto the glass container prior to printing.
