The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a curved laminated glass and the curved laminated glass. The method comprises preparing a curved soda lime glass, providing a functional layer on one surface of an alkali-free glass, disposing a lamination film or a bonding agent between the curved soda lime glass and the functional layer, and elastically deforming the alkali-free glass, and laminating the alkali-free glass with the curved soda lime glass.

A material includes a transparent substrate on the surface of which is deposited a stack of layers which itself includes a plurality of functional layers making it possible to influence the solar and/or infrared radiation capable of striking said surface. The material has high thermal performance qualities and also an attractive shiny surface appearance of neutral color.

The present disclosure provides a colored glass and a preparation method thereof. The colored glass comprises a glass substrate, layer Aed structure and a Ti alloy layer, wherein the layered structure and the Ti alloy layer are laminated on the surface of the glass substrate; the layered structure comprises alternately stacked layer A and layer B; the layer A is a SiC or NiO layer; the layer B is an MN layer, a GaN layer, a ZrO.sub.2 layer or an Nb.sub.2O.sub.5 layer; the layer A is in contact with the glass substrate, the layer B is in contact with the Ti alloy layer. The color of the glass is controlled by adjusting the thickness of the layer A and the layer B in the layered structure. The Ti alloy layer has high reflectivity, which can make the colored glass bright in color, and has a certain protective and corrosion-resistant effect.

An article is provided. The article includes a first transparent conductive oxide layer, a transparent metal layer on the first transparent conductive oxide layer, wherein a thickness of the transparent metal layer continuously decreases in a direction; and a second transparent conductive oxide layer on the transparent metal layer.

Provided are: a low-emissivity coating comprising, in sequence, a first lower dielectric layer, a barrier layer, a second lower dielectric layer, a low-emissivity protective layer, a low-emissivity layer, a low-emissivity protective layer, and an upper dielectric layer; and a functional building material for windows and doors comprising the low-emissivity coating.

Provided are novel energy-efficient signal-transparent window assemblies and methods of fabricating thereof. These window assemblies are specifically configured to allow selective penetration of electromagnetic wavelengths greater than 0.5 millimeters, representing current and future wireless signal spectrum. This signal penetration is provided while IR blocking properties are retained. Furthermore, the windows assemblies remain substantially transparent within the visible spectrum with no specific features detectable to the naked eye. This unique performance is achieved by patterning conductive layers such that the conductive layer edges remain protected during most fabrication steps and the fabrication. As such, the conductive layers are encapsulated and being separated from the environment while retaining separation between individual disjoined structures of these layers. For example, a barrier layer and/or a dielectric layer may extend over the conductive layer edge. The patterning is achieved by forming photoresist structures on the substrate and depositing a low-E stack over these photoresist structures.
