The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a touch panel, the touch panel, a touch screen and a display device. The method includes steps of: forming, on a transparent substrate, a non-opaque film layer with a micro-pattern; and forming a touch panel electrode on the non-opaque film layer. The non-opaque film layer is configured to vanish a shadow of the touch panel electrode.

A heat-ray-transmission-controllable, light-transmissive base material is provided that includes a light-transmissive insolation-cutting unit configured to control transmission of light in at least a part of wavelength regions among wavelength regions of visible light and near-infrared light; and a transparent conductive oxide layer disposed over the light-transmissive insolation-cutting unit, containing a transparent conductive oxide.

To provide a laminated glass in which color shading of an optical member is reduced, and a method for producing it. A laminated glass comprising a first glass plate, a second glass plate facing the first glass plate, and between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, a light control member to which a power feeder is connected, a bonding portion and a sealing member, wherein the sealing member overlaps with at least a part of the periphery of the first glass plate, in a plan view, the bonding portion is in contact with the first glass plate, the second glass plate, and a first principal surface, a second principal surface and side surfaces of the light control member, and the bonding portion contains a curable transparent resin.

A heating device equipped with a chamber defining a cavity, includes a door or wall incorporating a multiple glazing, the glazing including at least one transparent substrate coated on each face with a stack of thin layers, namely: on a first face, turned toward the cavity, a first stack that reflects heat essentially by virtue of one or more functional layers based on indium tin oxide; and on the other face, turned toward the exterior of the device, a second stack that reflects heat essentially by virtue of one or more functional layers based on a metal chosen from gold or silver.

A process for activating a layer supported by a glass substrate includes carrying out a heat treatment in a chamber of a stack of several examples of the glass substrate, the glass substrates being separated by an interlayer powder. The layer to be activated may be an ITO layer, or a titanium oxide layer, or an SiO.sub.2 layer, or a silver layer.

A color conversion element includes: a phosphor layer that includes at least one type of phosphor; a reflecting layer stacked on the phosphor layer; a substrate disposed in a position opposite to the reflecting layer; a joining portion interposed between the reflecting layer and the substrate for joining the reflecting layer and the substrate; and an absorbing portion disposed above a principal surface of the substrate closer to the joining portion. The absorbing portion is covered with the joining portion and absorbs laser light having a wavelength that excites the phosphor.

Strengthened glass-based substrates having a first outer region compressive stress and a first side having first coating thereon are disclosed. The first coating comprising a material selected to have a first coating Young's modulus value, a first coating thickness, and a first coating stress that is either neutral or compressive, such that the absolute value of first outer region compressive stress is greater than the absolute value of the first coating stress. Methods of making glass-based articles are provided, and glass-based articles having coatings that provide different strength values and/or reliability on different sides of the glass-based articles are also disclosed.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to articles including anticondensation and/or low-E coatings that are exposed to an external environment, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the anti condensation and/or low-E coatings may be survivable in an outside environment. The coatings also may have a sufficiently low sheet resistance and hemispherical emissivity such that the glass surface is more likely to retain heat from the interior area, thereby reducing (and sometimes completely eliminating) the presence condensation thereon. The articles of certain example embodiments may be, for example, skylights, vehicle windows or windshields, IG units, VIG units, refrigerator/freezer doors, and/or the like.

The invention provides transparent conductive coatings based on indium tin oxide. The coating has an oxide overcoat, such as an alloy oxide overcoat. In some embodiments, the coating further includes one or more overcoat films comprising silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon dioxide, or titanium dioxide.
