A head-up display (HUD) mirror that includes a mirror substrate with a first major surface with a concave shape, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface and with a convex shape, and a minor surface connecting the first and second major surfaces. The HUD mirror also a reflective layer disposed on the first major surface. The first major surface has a first surface roughness Ra of 3 nm or less and a peak to valley (PV) roughness of less than 30 nm, and the mirror substrate is a glass or glass-ceramic material.

A through-glass via (TGV) formed in a glass substrate may comprise a metal plating layer formed in the TGV. The TGV may have a three-dimensional (3D) topology through the glass substrate and the metal plating layer conformally covering the 3D topology. The TGV may further comprise a barrier layer disposed over the metal plating layer, and a metallization layer disposed over the barrier layer. The metallization layer may be electrically coupled to the metal plating layer through the barrier layer. The barrier layer may comprise a metal-nitride film disposed on the metal plating layer that is electrically coupled to the metallization layer. The barrier layer may comprise a metal film disposed over the metal plating layer and over a portion of glass surrounding the TGV, and an electrically-insulating film disposed upon the metal film, the electrically-insulating film completely overlapping the metal plating layer and partially overlapping the metal film.

A coating material for a lightning-prone object includes a base color substance and an additive admixed with the base color substance. The additive comprises rigid hollow beads filled with an inert gas. At least a portion of the hollow beads have an electrically conductive coating.

Platinum films can be obtained by aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) using one or more Pt-dialkyldithiocarbamate complexes of formula Pt(S.sub.2CNR.sub.2), wherein R is independently alkyl, aryl, or alkaryl, particularly as single source precursors. Such methods may include heating a substrate to a deposition temperature above 150° C. in a reactor; and introducing into the reactor, at the deposition temperature, an aerosol including a platinum dithiocarbamate compound, salt, and/or solvate thereof, to thereby deposit the platinum layer on the substrate. The Pt(S.sub.2CNR.sub.2)-derived films have well-connected and defect-free surface topography and better catalytic performance, likely due to their high conductivity and reflectivity.
