An ophthalmic article having a coating system which provides antireflective, easy clean and anti-fogging properties to the ophthalmic article. The coating system includes alternating layers of low refractive index and high refractive index metal oxides and a sol-gel based hydrophilic top layer formed of one or more silanes, one or more alcohols, DI water and itaconic acid. The coating system provides favorable surface energy and particle size distribution to the ophthalmic article when the sol-gel based top layer is deposited on top surface of the alternating layers of low refractive index and high refractive index metal oxides.

Specifically, provided are an anti-glare coating resin composition that includes a siloxane resin containing an epoxy group and an acrylic group, and further includes organic or inorganic particles, and thus ensures hardness, scratch resistance and processability, and provides anti-glare property by introduction of particles, and an anti-glare coating film produced using the same. Also, it is possible to realize hardness, abrasion resistance and anti-glare property of a film resin prepared using the resin composition and a film produced using the same.

A photovoltaic cell comprises an anode, a cathode, a first subcell positioned between the anode and the cathode, the first subcell comprising a first donor material and a first acceptor material, and a second subcell positioned between the first subcell and the cathode, the second subcell comprising a second donor material and a second acceptor material. A method of fabricating a photovoltaic cell is also described.

The invention relates to an anti-reflective film that has low reflectance deviation and light transmittance deviation, can simultaneously realize high scratch resistance and anti-fouling property, and can increase screen sharpness of a display apparatus, a polarizing plate and a display apparatus comprising the same.

A cover glass includes: a glass substrate having a convex and concave shape formed on at least one of surfaces thereof by an antiglare treatment; and an antireflection film disposed on the surface of the glass substrate, the surface having the convex and concave shape. In the cover glass, a difference Δa* in a* value between any two points within a surface of the cover glass on the side where the antireflection film is present and a difference Δb* in b*value between any two points within the surface of the cover glass on the side where the antireflection film is present satisfy the following expression: √{(Δa*).sup.2+(Δb*).sup.2}≤4.

A method of producing a photovoltaic cell having a cover, comprising the steps of: providing a photovoltaic cell which comprises a crystalline silicon substrate; providing a transparent substrate; forming an antireflective coating on said transparent substrate to provide a coated transparent substrate; and covering the photovoltaic cell with said coated transparent substrate. The antireflective coating is a hybrid organic-inorganic material having an inorganic portion comprising silicon, oxygen and carbon, and further comprising an organic portion with organic groups connected to the inorganic portion. Methods of producing solar panels, coated glass substrates as well as antireflection coatings are disclosed as well as novel compositions of hybrid organic-inorganic materials.

Methods are provided for forming a particular multi-layer micron-sized particle that is substantially transparent, yet that exhibits selectable coloration based on its physical properties. The disclosed physical properties of the particle are controllably selectable refractive indices to provide an opaque-appearing energy transmissive material when pluralities of the particles are suspended in a substantially transparent matrix material. Multiply-layered (up to 30+ constituent layers) particles result in an overall particle diameter of less than 5 microns. The material suspensions render the particles deliverable as aspirated or aerosol compositions onto substrates to form layers that selectively scatter specific wavelengths of electromagnetic energy while allowing remaining wavelengths of the incident energy to pass. The disclosed particles and material compositions uniquely implement optical light scattering techniques in energy (or light) transmissive layers that appear selectively opaque, while allowing 80+% of the energy impinging on the light incident side to pass through the layers.
