The presently claimed invention relates to a low-e coating (20) applied onto a glass (10), in order to provide neutrality at first sight from inside and outside of automotive and architectural glasses.

A multiple glazing unit having two outermost glass panes and at least one inner glass pane, where at least two intermediate gas-filled cavities each lie between two glass panes, the at least one inner glass pane bearing one metal-based insulating coating on one face and one transparent conductive oxide-based insulating coating on the opposite face, and a process for making the glazing.

A method of decorating a glass substrate having a coating, said method comprising: applying a paste onto at least a portion of said coating in a desired pattern; drying said paste to form a dried paste in said desired pattern; and firing said dried paste to form an enamel in said desired pattern, said enamel being directly bonded to said glass substrate by dissolution of the portion of the coating to which the paste is applied during the firing step. The paste comprises a solids portion dispersed in a dispersion medium, said solids portion including a composition comprising: 10 to 40 mol % ZnO; 20 to 40 mol % B.sub.2O.sub.3; 25 to 65 mol % Bi.sub.2O.sub.3, TeO.sub.2, or PbO, or mixtures thereof; and to 15 mol % Al.sub.2O.sub.3.

A material includes a transparent substrate coated with a stack of thin layers including an alternation of three functional silver-based metallic layers. This material makes it possible to obtain a multiple glazing having good thermal performance results, in particular a selectivity greater than 2, excellent color neutrality and low optical sensitivity.

A material includes a transparent substrate coated with a stack of thin layers successively including an alternation of three silver-based functional metal layers and of four dielectric coatings so that each functional metal layer is positioned between two dielectric coatings. Absorbent material is present between the first functional layer and the second functional layer, in a total thickness Abs2 such that 1.0≤Abs2≤5.0 nm and/or absorbent material is present between the second functional layer and the third functional layer, in a total thickness Abs3 such that 1.0≤Abs3≤5.0 nm. Additionally, absorbent material is present between the face of the substrate and the first functional layer in a total thickness such that 0.0<Abs1≤0.5 nm and absorbent material is present above the third functional layer, in a total thickness Abs4 such that 0.0<Abs4≤0.5 nm.

An antireflective switchable laminated glass construction having a switchable functional film formed of a switchable material layer, a first polymer substrate with a first transparent conductive coating, and a second polymer substrate with a second transparent conductive coating. The switchable functional film is sandwiched between first adhesive polymer interlayer and glass substrate and second adhesive polymer interlayer and glass substrate. The switchable laminated glass construction in an ON (transparent) state has a total light transmittance higher than 50% and a reflectance equal to or less than 13%, as measured from at least one side of the switchable laminated glass construction.

A coating provides a high solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and a low overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) to trap and retain solar heat. The coating and coated article are particularly useful for use in architectural transparencies in northern climates. The coating includes a first dielectric layer; a continuous metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer, the metallic layer having a thickness less than 8 nm; a primer layer formed over at least a portion of the metallic layer; a second dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the primer layer; and an overcoat formed over at least a portion of the second dielectric layer. When used on a No. 3 surface of a reference IGU, the coating provides a SHGC of greater than or equal to 0.6 and a U-value of less than or equal to 0.35.

A glass panel unit includes: a first panel including a glass pane; a second panel including another glass pane; a sealing portion; an exhaust port; and a printed portion. The second panel is arranged to face the first panel. The sealing portion is formed in a frame shape and hermetically bonds respective peripheral edge portions of the first and second panels to create an evacuated, hermetically sealed space between the first panel and the second panel. The exhaust port is provided for one panel selected from the first and second panels. A port sealing member hermetically seals the exhaust port. The printed portion is provided for the other panel selected from the first and second panels. The printed portion is located in an area, facing the exhaust port, of one surface of the other panel. The one surface either faces toward, or faces away from, the hermetically sealed space.

A coated glass pane and a method of preparing same comprising at least the following layers in sequence: a glass substrate; a lower anti-reflection layer, a silver-based functional layer; a barrier layer; an upper dielectric layer; and a topmost dielectric layer which comprises an oxide of zinc (Zn), tin (Sn) and zirconium (Zr); and wherein the amount of zirconium in the topmost dielectric layer comprises at least 10 atomic percent zirconium.

A window structure includes a metal layer that transmits microwave signals and reflects infrared signals. A microwave signal is a signal that has a frequency in the microwave spectrum of frequencies (a.k.a. the microwave frequency spectrum). The microwave frequency spectrum extends from 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). An infrared signal is a signal that has a frequency in the infrared spectrum of frequencies (a.k.a. the infrared frequency spectrum, which extends from 300 GHz to 430 terahertz (THz)). The metal layer may be a discontinuous metal layer that's an electrically discontinuous metal layer and/or a physically discontinuous metal layer.
