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 display panel may include a first display substrate, a second display substrate disposed over the first display substrate, and a sealing member bonding the first display substrate and the second display substrate. The sealing member may include a frit sealing member including an outer region and an inner region, with the inner region disposed next to an inner side of the outer region and having a first crystallization temperature lower than a second crystallization temperature of the outer region, and an organic sealing member disposed next to an inner side of the frit sealing member.

A glass-ceramic article, includes at least one substrate, such as a plate, made of glass-ceramic, the substrate being coated in at least one zone with at least one layer including zirconium silicon nitride, Si.sub.xZr.sub.yN.sub.z, with an atomic ratio of Zr to the sum Si+Zr, y/(x+y), of 10% to 90%.

Scratch-resistant coatings, especially for cooktops, and substrates or products having said scratch-resistant coatings and methods for the production thereof are described herein. More particularly, scratch-resistant coatings obtained via sol-gel approach and coated substrates having thereon a hard material layer comprising metal nitride(s) and/or metal oxynitride complexes are described, as well as the manufacturing thereof.

A method for creating gradient optical properties within a substrate is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention teaches a method whereby a material disposed on a substrate is patterned in three dimensions such that the thickness and diffusivity properties of the material can be used to regulate the diffusion of ions into the substrate. An example is given in which ions, injected into a substrate through an ion exchange process, alter the refractive index within the substrate in a pre-selected fashion to form a gradient refractive index lens.

The present disclosure is directed to a vessel having a lumen defined at least in part by a wall, the wall having an interior surface facing the lumen, and the interior surface comprising a coating. The coating is configured to prevent the leaching of metal ions from the vessel wall into a fluid contained within the lumen and stored in contact with the coating. The vessels are used to store an aqueous drug product, typically an aqueous drug product containing an active agent and one or more excepients, such as a polysorbate stabilizer. The coated vessels are effective to reduce degradation of the active agent and/or one or more excipients, e.g. a polysorbate stabilizer.

Disclosed are a coating for glass molding, a preparation method and application thereof and a mold having the coating. The coating includes a nitride layer and nano precious metal particles which are dispersed in the nitride layer. A surface roughness of the coating is 2-12 nm. The preparation method of the coating includes: cleaning a substrate and targets under an inert gas; and under a mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and the inert gas, depositing, with a high-purity W target, a high-purity Cr target and a precious metal inserted Cr target, a Cr intermediate layer, a nitride layer and nano precious metal particles on a surface of the substrate. The coating has good oxidation resistance and excellent anti-adhesion property. Moreover, the coating effectively inhibits the adhesion between the glass body and the mold.

A display panel may include a first display substrate, a second display substrate disposed over the first display substrate, and a sealing member bonding the first display substrate and the second display substrate. The sealing member may include a frit sealing member including an outer region and an inner region, with the inner region disposed next to an inner side of the outer region and having a first crystallization temperature lower than a second crystallization temperature of the outer region, and an organic sealing member disposed next to an inner side of the frit sealing member.

A coated glass article and of a system and method for forming a coated glass article are provided. The process includes applying a first coating precursor material to the first surface of the glass article and supporting the glass article via a gas bearing. The process includes heating the glass article and the coating precursor material to above a glass transition temperature of the glass article while the glass article is supported by the gas bearing such that during heating, a property of the first coating precursor material changes forming a coating layer on the first surface of the glass article from the first precursor material. The high temperature and/or non-contact coating formation may form a coating layer with one or more new physical properties, such as a deep diffusion layer within the glass, and may form highly consistent coatings on multiple sides of the glass.

A laminate including a glass plate and a coating layer, wherein the coating layer includes one or more components selected from the group consisting of silicon nitride, titanium oxide, alumina, niobium oxide, zirconia, indium tin oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium fluoride, and calcium fluoride, wherein a ratio (dc/dg) of a thickness dc of the coating layer to a thickness dg of the glass plate is in a range of 0.05×10.sup.−3 to 1.2×10.sup.−3, and wherein a radius of curvature r1 of the laminate with negating of self-weight deflection is 10 m to 150 m.
