A multiple glazing unit having two outermost glass panes and at least one inner glass pane, where at least two intermediate gas-filled cavities each lie between two glass panes, the at least one inner glass pane bearing one metal-based insulating coating on one face and one transparent conductive oxide-based insulating coating on the opposite face, and a process for making the glazing.

A method of reducing the emissivity of a coated glass article includes the following steps in sequence: (a) forming a coated glass article, the coated glass article comprising a glass substrate and a coating formed on the glass substrate, the coating having a first layer deposited over the glass substrate and a second layer, the second layer being provided between the first layer and the glass substrate, wherein the coated glass article exhibits a first emissivity; and (b) heating the coated glass article in an environment set to a predetermined temperature and for a predetermined period of time. After step (b), the coated glass article exhibits a second emissivity, the second emissivity being less than the first emissivity.

The embodiments herein relate to electrochromic stacks, electrochromic devices, and methods and apparatus for making such stacks and devices. In various embodiments, an anodically coloring layer in an electrochromic stack or device is fabricated to include a heterogeneous structure, for example a heterogeneous composition and/or morphology. Such heterogeneous anodically coloring layers can be used to better tune the properties of a device.

A controllable privacy structure, such as a window or door, may include an electrically controllable optically active material connected to a driver. The driver can control the application and/or removal of electrical energy to the optically active material to transition from a scattering state in which visibility through the structure is inhibited to a transparent state in which visibility through the structure is comparatively clear. The driver may need to be located in relatively close physical proximity to the privacy structure the driver is intended to control. Devices, systems, and techniques are described for discretely positioning a driver relative to a privacy structure to be controlled.

A coated glass article includes a glass substrate and an anti-reflective coating formed over a first major surface of the glass substrate. The anti-reflective coating includes a color suppression interlayer and a first coating layer deposited over the color suppression interlayer. The first coating layer includes tin oxide and a dopant. The dopant includes antimony, molybdenum, or iron. A second coating layer is deposited over the first coating layer. The second coating layer includes an oxide of silicon. The coated glass article exhibits a total visible light transmittance of 70% or more and a film side visible light reflectance of less than 6.0%.

A method for producing an electronic structure on a glass pane which has, at least on one of its two glass pane surfaces, a functional coating having at least one electrically conductive functional layer, preferably having multiple electrically conductive functional layers, the functional coating being structured by means of laser radiation in such a way that the electronic structure, preferably a capacitive sensor system or a conductor loop, is created. A glass sheet having at least one glass pane of this type.

Transparent conductive coatings are polished using particle slurries in combination with mechanical shearing force, such as a polishing pad. Substrates having transparent conductive coatings that are too rough and/or have too much haze, such that the substrate would not produce a suitable optical device, are polished using methods described herein. The substrate may be tempered prior to, or after, polishing. The polished substrates have low haze and sufficient smoothness to make high-quality optical devices.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods for the integration of electrochromic films onto a substrate, such as a glass window, and the systems/structures formed via such methods.

A chemical vapour deposition process for preparing a coated glass substrate, said process comprising at least the following steps in sequence: a) providing a glass substrate having a surface, b) depositing a layer based on SiCO and/or SiNO on the surface of the glass substrate, c) exposing the layer based on SiCO and/or SiNO to a gaseous mixture (i) comprising water, and d) subsequently depositing a layer based on a TCO over the layer based on SiCO and/or SiNO.

A process for obtaining a material including a glass sheet, includes providing a glass sheet including a first face coated at least partly by an essentially mineral first coating, the face having at least one first zone and at least one second zone, the at least one first zone having a higher emissivity than that of the second zone, then applying, on at least one portion of the second zone, a sacrificial layer including a resin, then heat treating the coated glass sheet at a temperature of at least 550° C., during which step the sacrificial layer is removed by combustion.
