A greenhouse according to the present invention includes: a ceiling portion; and in at least a portion of the ceiling portion, a glass sheet with a coating film. The glass sheet with a coating film has a total light transmittance of 90% to 98%, a haze ratio of 20% to 80%, and a hemispherical transmittance of 80% to 90%. When a test is performed according to JIS R 1703-1: 2007 by applying oleic acid to a surface of a coating film and subsequently irradiating the surface with ultraviolet light at an intensity of 1.0 mW/cm.sup.2, a time period from start of irradiation with the ultraviolet light to a point at which a water contact angle on the surface reaches 5° is 24 hours or less.

A surface finishing method, an anti-glare coating, and a display device having same are provided. The surface finishing method includes adding diffusion particles which have a density less than that of a resin material, and controlling the thickness of the resin material in an anti-glare material coated on a surface of a substrate to be greater than the particle size of the diffusion particles, so that the diffusion particles are evenly dispersed in the resin layer, and a part of the volume of the diffusion particles are exposed on a surface of the resin layer. Thus, the uniformity of the surface haze of the anti-glare coating can be enhanced, and flashing points of the display device can be avoided.

A thin-film coating applicator assembly is disclosed for coating substrates in outdoor applications. The innovative thin-film coating applicator assembly is adapted to apply performance enhancement coatings on installed photovoltaic panels and glass windows in outdoor environments. The coating applicator is adapted to move along a solar panel or glass pane while applicator mechanisms deposit a uniform layer of liquid coating solution to the substrate's surface. The applicator assembly comprises a conveyance means disposed on a frame. Further disclosed are innovative applicator heads that comprise a deformable sponge-like core surrounded by a microporous layer. The structure, when in contact with a substrate surface, deposits a uniform layer of coating solution over a large surface.

Described herein is a method of forming a reflective article comprising applying an anti-fog composition to a major surface of a reflective substrate, the anti-fog composition comprising an anti-fog agent and a liquid carrier and having a solid's content between about 15 wt. % to about 35 wt. % based on the total weight of the anti-fog composition, and subsequently heating the reflective substrate to a temperature of about 80° F. to about 325° F. for a drying period, and wherein the liquid carrier comprises water and a hydroxyl-containing component.

An anti-fog glass includes a glass body configured as a single layer or a multilayer stack; an active anti-fog layer disposed on the glass body and heating up when being provided with power; and a passive anti-fog layer disposed on the glass body and inhibiting fog from forming on the passive anti-fog layer. The passive anti-fog layer is a super hydrophobic coating and/or hydrophilic coating. Both the active anti-fog layer and the passive anti-fog layer are simultaneously disposed on the glass body to inhibit fog from forming. In this way, in a region of the glass body not covered by the active anti-fog layer, the anti-fog function is achieved by the passive anti-fog layer to a certain degree; in addition, in a region where the passive anti-fog layer itself cannot provide a desired anti-fog level, the active anti-fog layer together with the passive anti-fog layer provide a better anti-fog effect.

An electronic device assembly includes a backplane having a glass composition substantially free of alkali ions, an elastic modulus of about 40 GPa to about 100 GPa, and a final thickness from about 20 μm to about 100 μm. The primary surfaces of the backplane are characterized by a prior material removal to the final thickness from an initial thickness that is at least 20 μm greater than the final thickness. The assembly also includes a protect layer on the first primary surface of the backplane; and a plurality of electronic components on the second primary surface of the backplane. In addition, the backplane is configured with at least one static bend having a bend radius between about 25 mm and about 5 mm. The electronic components of the electronic device assembly can include at least one thin film transistor (TFT) element or organic light emitting diode (OLED) element.
