A coating composition containing a radiation-curable component, a photoinitiator, and a UV absorber is described. The coating composition may be applied to an optical fiber and cured to form a coating. The UV absorber provides a protective function by inhibiting unintended curing of the coating that may occur upon exposure of the fiber to UV light during fiber processing. The spectral overlap of the photoinitiator and UV absorber is minimized to permit efficient photoinitiation of the curing reaction over one or more wavelengths. Photoinitiation may be excited by an LED source with a peak emission wavelength in the range from 360 nm-410 nm.

An aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for producing a glass sheet with a coating, produced by applying a functional liquid for providing a function to the glass sheet, to at least one face of the glass sheet, including a first step of supplying the functional liquid to an ejection portion having a nozzle that ejects the functional liquid toward the glass sheet, and a second step of applying the functional liquid to the glass sheet while moving the glass sheet relative to the ejection portion in a fixed state such that the functional liquid ejected from the nozzle is applied to a predetermined region on the at least one face of the glass sheet, wherein a tube member that transports the functional liquid is connected to the ejection portion, and, in the first step, the functional liquid is supplied by the tube member to the ejection portion.

A glass article includes a glass substrate, a colored film formed on one of main surfaces of the glass substrate, an uncoated portion where no colored film is formed which is present in part of the one of main surfaces or on an edge face of the glass substrate, a boundary between the colored film and the uncoated portion, and a film thickness varying portion where the colored film gradually tapers in thickness toward the boundary. The uncoated portion is visible in the glass article used as a window, the glass substrate has an absorbance in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm of 0.10 or lower per mm of thickness, and the glass article has a portion blue in color, gray in color, or pink in color where the colored film is formed.

Described herein is a transparent or translucent substrate at least partially coated with a quantum dot coating such that the coating is invisible in a first non-excited state of the coating and the coating is visible in a second excited state of the coating. Also described herein is a laminate, a glazing unit and a sunroof comprising the described coated substrate. A method of preparing the coated substrate is also described.

A method of producing a colored film-attached glass sheet includes a step of obtaining a colored film-forming coating solution by mixing the following components: (a) a reaction product obtained by reacting an amino group-containing silane compound with at least one boron compound selected from the group consisting of H.sub.3BO.sub.3 and B.sub.2O.sub.3; (b) a metal alkoxide and/or a metal alkoxide condensate; (c) a synthetic resin; (d) a triazine-based UV absorber; (e) a solvent substantially consisting of a non-aqueous solvent having an SP value of 8 to 11.5 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2; and (f) a pigment. The colored film-forming coating solution contains the UV absorber in an amount of 5 to 12% by mass relative to the total solids content and the pigment in an amount equal to 0.02 to 0.50 times the amount of the UV absorber by mass ratio.

An ultraviolet light-resistant article that includes: a substrate having a glass or glass-ceramic composition and first and second primary surfaces; an ultraviolet light-absorbing element having a an absorptivity greater than 50% at wavelengths from about 100 nm to about 380 nm and a thickness between about 10 nm and about 100 nm; and a dielectric stack formed with a plasma-enhanced process. Further, the light-absorbing element is between the substrate and the dielectric stack. Alternatively, the light-absorbing element can include one or more ultraviolet light-resistant layers disposed within the dielectric stack over the first primary surface.

A window film that can be applied to a window glass with sufficient adhesive strength at a short curing time when using the water bonding method, and can provide an excellent appearance in which aeration of air bubbles and whitening are suppressed is described.

A low-E coating has good color stability (a low E* value) upon heat treatment (HT). Thermal stability may be improved by the provision of an as-deposited crystalline or substantially crystalline layer of or including zinc oxide, doped with at least one dopant (e.g., Sn), immediately under an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of or including silver; and/or by the provision of at least one dielectric layer of or including at least one of: (a) an oxide of silicon and zirconium, (b) an oxide of zirconium, and (c) an oxide of silicon. These have the effect of significantly improving the coating's thermal stability (i.e., lowering the E* value).

A glazing applicable to multiple illumination products comprises a first glass substrate having first and second surfaces, a second glass substrate having third and fourth surfaces, a polymer interlayer laminated between the first and second substrates, and a coating including a first luminescent material and being applied on one of the third and fourth surfaces of the second glass substrate, for emitting light to both of the interior and exterior.
