Provided is a resin composition which contains a UV absorbent having high solubility in solvents, and imparts superior UV-cut performance and transparency, and good weather resistance, even when being formed as a thin film. The resin composition contains a UV absorbent (a) and a resin (b), wherein the UV absorbent (a) contains at least two compounds, i.e., a compound (a-1) having a global absorption maximum at less than 340 nm, and a compound (a-2) having a global absorption maximum at 340-380 nm, and the total content of (a-1) and (a-2) is 10-30 mass % of the total solid content.

The composition can include an aqueous colloidal silica. a bifunctional silanol coupling agent, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), a UV absorber, and a water miscible solvent selected from glycol ethers, alkanols, keto alcohols, and combinations thereof.

This invention relates to an insulating glass (IG) window unit designed to prevent or reduce bird collisions therewith. The IG window unit includes at least first, second and third substrates (e.g., glass substrates). At least one of the substrates supports an ultraviolet (UV) reflecting coating for reflecting UV radiation so that birds are capable of more easily seeing the window, and wherein at least two of the substrates are laminated to one another via a polymer-based laminating film (e.g., of or including PVB, EVA, or SGP) that may have a high UV absoprtion. The UV reflecting coating is preferably patterned so that it is not provided across the entirety of the IG window unit. By making the window more visible to birds, bird collisions and bird deaths can be reduced. The provision of the laminated substrates in the IG window unit is particularly advantageous for bird collision windows, because it can further reduce bird collisions by providing an increased contrast ratio, improve durability, and improve processing.

There is provided a glass article using an ultraviolet absorbing glass substrate, the glass article suppressing solarization and exhibiting a high visible light transmittance. A glass article, comprising a glass substrate absorbing light at a wavelength of 250 to 400 nm from the surface and an antireflection film provided on at least one surface of the glass substrate, wherein the glass article has an ultraviolet irradiation degradation degree (X) of 1.5% or less, wherein the ultraviolet irradiation degradation degree (X) is T.sub.0T.sub.1, where T.sub.0 is an average transmittance of light at the wavelength of 250 to 400 nm from a surface of the antireflection film in an initial state, and T.sub.1 is an average transmittance of light at the wavelength of 250 to 400 nm from the surface of the antireflection film after irradiating the surface of the antireflection film with ultraviolet rays for one hour.

Certain embodiments of this invention relates to a coated article including a low-emissivity (low-E) coating supported by a substrate (e.g., glass substrate) for use in a window, where the low-E coating is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in order to improve the coating's and thus the coated article's electrical, optical and/or thermal blocking properties. The low-E coating includes at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of or including silver which is located on and directly contacting a contact/seed layer of or including metal oxide such as zinc oxide and/or zinc stannate. Exposing the low-E coating to UV radiation, e.g., emitted from a UV lamp(s) and/or UV laser(s), allows for selective heating of the contact/seed layer which in turn transfers the heat energy to the adjacent IR reflecting layer. This heating of the silver inclusive layer improves the silver layer's electrical, optical and/or thermal blocking properties. The UV treated coated article, with its improved properties, may be used in the context of monolithic or insulating glass (IG) window units.

A coated article is provided with a low-emissivity (low-E) coating on a glass substrate. The low-E coating includes an infrared (IR) reflecting layer between at least a pair of dielectric layers. The IR reflecting layer may be of silver or the like. The coating is designed so as to provide a highly transparent coated article that is thermally stable upon optional heat treatment and which can be made to have a low emissivity in a consistent manner. The coating is designed to have improved IR reflecting layer quality, and thus reduced tolerances with respect to manufacturability of desired emissivity values. The coated article may be used in monolithic window applications, IG window applications, or the like.

Substrates such as transparent glass layers or other transparent substrates may be used to form protective display cover layers, windows, housing structures, camera windows, and other structures. Coatings may be formed on the substrates, on pixel arrays such as flexible organic light-emitting diode pixel arrays, housing structures, and other structures. The coatings may have optical properties arising from the inclusion of pigment flakes in a clear polymer binder. The pigment flakes may be formed from a thin-film interference layer. The thin-film interference filter layer may have a stack of dielectric layers with a pattern of refractive index values selected to adjust the optical properties of the pigment flakes. The stack of dielectric layers may be configured to form an infrared-light-blocking-and-visible-light-transmitting optical characteristic for the coatings and/or may have other desired spectral properties.
