The present invention is directed to a process for producing a sintered lithium disilicate glass ceramic dental restoration out of a porous 3-dim article, the process comprising the step of sintering the porous 3-dim article having the shape of a dental restoration with an outer and inner surface to obtain a sintered lithium disilicate ceramic dental restoration, the sintered lithium disilicate glass ceramic dental restoration comprising Si oxide calculated as SiO2 from 55 to 80 wt.-%, Li oxide calculated as Li2O from 7 to 16 wt.-%, Al oxide calculated as Al2O3 from 1 to 5 wt.-%, and P oxide calculated as P2O5 from 1 to 5 wt.-%, wt.-% with respect to the weight of the dental restoration,
the sintering being done under reduced atmospheric pressure conditions, the reduced atmospheric pressure conditions being applied at a temperature above 600° C.

The present invention is also directed to a kit of parts comprising a porous 3-dim article having the shape of a dental milling block and a respective instruction of use.

A scenario-adaptable color-changing ink and a corresponding solar glass product are provided. The ink includes 7-30 parts by weight of photopolymer, 8-20 parts by weight of photoactive monomer, 1-5 parts by weight of photosensitizer, 30-55 parts by weight of weather-resistant resin, 1-10 parts by weight of curing agent, and 1-15 parts by weight of pearlescent pigment. The pearlescent pigment is at least one interference pearlescent pigments with weather-resistance, which has no color. Each sheet of the pearlescent pigment can be considered as a miniature prism which can break the white composite light into colorful monochromatic light, thus allow the coating of the printing ink to present a beautiful pearl luster and metallic luster. The pattern color which is visible by human is a result of overlaps and interferes of lights that the incident light is multiply reflected and refracted by the sheets of transparent pearlescent pigment.

Glass or glass ceramic substrates are provided that have a decorative coating. Methods for coating a glass or glass ceramic substrate with a decorative coating are also provided. In the method, a first, textured layer is applied which is filled with a further layer, so that a layer material of graded composition is formed.

Deadfront articles that include a tactile element formed on a first surface of a substrate and a visual element disposed on a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface. The tactile element is positioned on the first surface of the substrate in a complimentary fashion to the visual element disposed on the second surface of the substrate. The tactile element may include a surface roughness portion having a surface roughness different than the surface roughness of an area bordering the surface roughness portion. The deadfront articles may be incorporated into an automobile interior to provide a visual and haptic display interface for a user.

The present invention relates to an article, especially a cooktop or a furniture element, comprising at least one substrate, such as a plate, made of glass-ceramic, said substrate being coated in at least one zone with a paint comprising at least: 1) a silicone resin comprising methyl and phenyl groups, 2) one or more lamellar inorganic fillers with a thickness of less than 2 μm and with lateral dimensions, for at least 80% by weight of said fillers, of between 10 μm and 65 μm, including at least: 2a) mica(s), and 2b) talc and/or one or more carbonates, 3) one or more black pigments.

The present invention also relates to a process for obtaining said article.

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include a housing including a first plate forming an outer face. The first plate may include a glass plate including a first surface outwardly facing the housing and a second surface inwardly facing the housing, a coating layer including an anti-reflection coating and/or an anti-finger coating above the first surface while forming the outer face, a first layer formed between the first surface of the first glass plate and the coating layer, having a first thickness, and including a first inorganic material, a second layer formed between the first layer and the coating layer, having a second thickness, and including a second inorganic material different from the first inorganic material, a third layer formed between the second layer and the coating layer, having a third thickness thicker than each of the first thickness and the second thickness, and including a third inorganic material, and an opaque layer formed on the second surface. Various other embodiments may also be possible.

An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms part of the housing on a rear face of the device. The glass layer and other glass structures in the electronic device may be provided with coatings. An interior coating on a glass layer may include multiple layers of material such as an adhesion promotion layer, thin-film layers of materials such as silicon, niobium oxide and other metal oxides, and metals to help adjust the appearance of the coating. A metal layer may be formed on top of the coating to serve as an environmental protection layer and opacity enhancement layer. In some configurations, the coating may include four layers.

The present invention relates to an optically functional absorbing solution composition, infrared absorbing-enhanced glass using same, and an infrared transmitting filter comprising same, the optically functional absorbing solution composition comprising: a resin having a siloxane group substituted at an acrylic group; an organic solvent; and a dye comprising heat resistant dyes and/or non-heat-resistant dyes.

A panel like, double-sided coated substrate and a method for production are provided. The panel like substrate includes at least two layers applied by heating, the first layer being applied on a first side of the substrate and having at least a glass component and structure-forming particles, the particles producing elevations on the first layer, and the softening temperature or the melting temperature of the particles being greater than the softening temperature of the glass component, and the second layer being applied on a second side of the substrate.
