Embodiments described herein relate to layered structures having a top surface which is hydrophobic for reducing the wetting of water or ice on the layered structure without requiring reapplication. In one or more embodiments, a layered structure is provided and includes a coating containing silicon, oxygen, and carbon disposed over a substrate and an interface disposed between the substrate and the coating. The substrate is at least partially transparent to visible light, a concentration of carbon in the coating is greater at a top surface of the coating than the interface, and the top surface of the coating is disposed on the opposite side of the coating than the interface.

Method for producing a photochromic material and a component including the photochromic material, where the method comprises the steps of:-first the formation on a substrate of a layer of an essentially oxygen free metal hydride with a predetermined thickness using a physical vapor deposition process; and -second exposing the metal hydride layer to oxygen where the oxygen reacts with the metal hydride, resulting in a material with photochromic properties.

The invention provides a method of making a coated glass article in which a gaseous mixture is formed including an aluminum-containing compound, a boron-containing compound, and an inert gas. This gaseous mixture is delivered to a location above a major surface of a glass substrate to deposit a coating comprising aluminum, boron, and oxygen over the major surface of the glass substrate.

The present application relates to a heat generating side window, for a vehicle, comprising: a substrate comprising an upper edge, a lower edge, a front edge and a rear edge; a heat generating member positioned adjacently to the substrate; an upper busbar positioned on the heat generating member and electrically connected to the heat generating member; and a lower busbar positioned on the heat generating member and electrically connected to the heat generating member.

Disclosed herein are coated articles which may include a substrate and an optical coating that includes one or more layers of deposited material. At least a portion of the optical coating may include a residual compressive stress of more than 100 MPa. The coated article may include a strain-to-failure of 0.4% or more as measured by a Ring-on-Ring Tensile Testing Procedure. The optical coating may include a maximum hardness of 8 GPa or more and an average photopic transmission of 50% or greater.

In one or more embodiments disclosed herein, an electronic device may include a display device operable to project an image, a front cover substrate positioned over the display device and including a transparent material, and a protective coating disposed on at least a portion of the non-display area of the front cover substrate. The front cover substrate may include a display area over the display device and a non-display area around at least the perimeter of the front cover substrate. The protective coating may include an inorganic material. The protective coating may not be positioned over the display area.

A preparation method for a high-refractive index hydrogenated silicon film, a high-refractive index hydrogenated silicon film, a light filtering lamination and a light filtering piece. The method includes: (a) by magnetic controlled Si target sputtering, Si deposits on a base body, forming a silicon film, which (b) forms an oxygenic hydrogenated silicon film in environment of active hydrogen and active oxygen, the amount of active oxygen accounts for 4%-99% of the total amount of active hydrogen and active oxygen, or, a nitric hydrogenated silicon film in environment of active hydrogen and active nitrogen, the amount of active nitrogen accounts for 5%-20% of the total amount of active hydrogen and active nitrogen. Sputtering and reactions are separately conducted, Si first deposits on the base body by magnetic controlled Si target sputtering, and then plasmas of active hydrogen and active oxygen/nitrogen react with silicon for oxygenic or nitric SiH.
