An anti-glare glass of the present disclosure has excellent anti-glare properties and visibility by forming glass in which polysilazane-derived surface unevenness are applied to a glass surface without mixing a heterogeneous element, and has remarkably improved wear resistance and durability since the polysilazane is changed for glass on the glass surface by thermal treatment.

The purpose of the invention is to manufacture the device having a resin substrate without using expensive machine like laser apparatus and so forth, and to raise a yield rate of the material. The structure is as follows.

A device having a resin substrate:

in which the resin substrate has a surface, on which a functional layer is formed, and a back surface, which is rear side from the surface,

the back surface has a peripheral area and an inner area, which is located inner side than the peripheral area in a plan view,

the peripheral area has a rough surface whose surface roughness is larger compared with a surface roughness of the inner area.

A method for applying a coating to a surface includes the step of providing a reaction mixture comprising a silicon alkoxide and an alcohol. A reaction limiting amount of water is added. The silicon alkoxides and water are allowed to react to form silica precursor particles during an initial reaction period. A coating precursor composition is prepared by adding an acid soluble in the alcohol to the reaction mixture during a second reaction period after the initial reaction period. The precursor silica particles grow to form silica nanofeatures having a major dimension that is larger than a major dimension of the silica precursor particles. The coating precursor composition is applied to a surface, and the alcohol and water are allowed to evaporate and the silica nanofeatures to adhere to the surface and form a nanostructured layer on the surface. A coating precursor composition and a coated article are also disclosed.

Deadfront articles that include a tactile element formed on a first surface of a substrate and a visual element disposed on a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface. The tactile element is positioned on the first surface of the substrate in a complimentary fashion to the visual element disposed on the second surface of the substrate. The tactile element may include a surface roughness portion having a surface roughness different than the surface roughness of an area bordering the surface roughness portion. The deadfront articles may be incorporated into an automobile interior to provide a visual and haptic display interface for a user.

The invention relates generally to optically high transparency and high haze structures and, more particularly, to plastic, e.g., polymer, and glass structures having a sub-wavelength texture formed on a surface thereof, which is effective to impart the optical properties of high transparency and high haze to the structures. The texture is in a grass-like or needle-like form. Additionally, the optically high transparency and high haze structures may include a transparent conductor. Furthermore, the glass structures may exhibit a self-cleaning function.

A glass-ceramic plate for a cooking device includes a first main face to be in contact with liquids, a second main face and an edge, a liquid-retaining bead fastened to and in contact with the first main face, wherein the retaining bead surrounds a region of the first main face so as to form a liquid-retaining reservoir, and includes at least two hydrophobic sub-beads inscribed within one another and separated by hydrophilic zones, a width of the hydrophilic zone between two consecutive sub-beads is throughout at least greater than 500 μm and less than a threshold value, the threshold value being defined so that, when a liquid is present in the hydrophilic zone, a variation in the retention time or volume of the liquid before overflowing, relative to a same liquid present in a hydrophilic zone, the width of which is greater than the value, is less than 5%.

A window includes a base layer, a plurality of nitride layers disposed on the base layer, a plurality of oxide layers disposed on the base layer, and a protective layer disposed on the nitride layers and the oxide layers. The nitride layers are alternately stacked with the oxide layers on the base layer, and a sum of thicknesses of the nitride layers and thicknesses of the oxide layers is equal to or greater than about 500 nm and equal to or smaller than about 900 nm.
