A glass laminate includes a glass substrate including a first main surface and a second main surface, and a functional layer at least on the first main surface. The functional layer includes at least two layers having a refractive index different from each other and the at least two layers are alternately laminated. The functional layer includes an outermost layer farthest from the glass substrate and a second layer that is adjacent to the outermost layer and lies closer to the glass substrate than the outermost layer. The outermost layer includes SiO.sub.2 as a main component. The second layer has a carbon concentration of 310.sup.18 atoms/cm.sup.3 or more and 510.sup.19 atoms/cm.sup.3 or less, and the carbon concentration of the second layer is lower than that of the outermost layer.

The invention relates to a method for producing a composite material with a decorative coating, wherein a porous layer that includes pigment particles is applied onto a glass or glass ceramic substrate. The porous layer is filled with a polymer.

A glass, in particular glass-ceramic, article, which is intended in particular to be used with at least one heating element, is formed of at least one substrate, such as a glass-ceramic plate. The substrate is at least partly coated with at least one layer of ink, which is advantageously deposited by inkjet printing. The ink is formed of nanoscale pigments and of at least one silicone binder. The layer of ink is coated with at least one layer of silicone-based paint. The layer of paint advantageously is deposited in the form of a flat tint, in particular by screen printing, and preferably being opacifying.

An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms part of the housing on a rear face of the device. The glass layer and other glass structures in the electronic device may be provided with coatings. An interior coating on a glass layer may include multiple layers of material such as an adhesion promotion layer, thin-film layers of materials such as silicon, niobium oxide and other metal oxides, and metals to help adjust the appearance of the coating. A metal layer may be formed on top of the coating to serve as an environmental protection layer and opacity enhancement layer. In some configurations, the coating may include four layers.

A glass panel having a noble material appearance, including in order: a glass sheet having a luminous transmission LTD of at least 85% and having a thickness in a range of 0.1 mm to 6 mm, a decorative layer having a noble material pattern and where the decorative layer is continuous, an opaque top layer where the opaque top layer is discontinuous. The glass panel thereby has opaque zones defined by an optical density OD>1.5, and semi-transparent zones that correspond to one or several patterns and defined by a luminous transmission LTD of from 3 to 80%.

A glass article includes a first surface; a second surface opposed to the first surface; a side surface connecting the first surface to the second surface; a first surface compressive region extending from the first surface to a first depth; a second surface compressive region extending from the second surface to a second depth; and a side compressive region extending from the side surface to a third depth, where the first surface and the side surface are non-tin surfaces, the second surface is a tin surface, and a maximum compressive stress of the second surface compressive region is greater than a maximum compressive stress of the first surface compressive region.

In a method for embodying a hotplate for a hob, at least one metallic layer and a further layer under the metallic layer are formed on an underside of the hotplate. After applying the at least one metallic layer and the further layer, at least one region of the metallic layer is changed by a laser light of a laser beam so that the further layer is recognized when viewing the hob on a topside.

The present disclosure relates to a decorative panel made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular, for large stationary household appliances. The decorative panel comprises a base body made of thermally tempered flat glass with an operational front and an operational back, and has at least one digital print on the operational back.

A glass article includes a first surface; a second surface opposed to the first surface; a side surface connecting the first surface to the second surface; a first surface compressive region extending from the first surface to a first depth; a second surface compressive region extending from the second surface to a second depth; and a side compressive region extending from the side surface to a third depth, where the first surface and the side surface are non-tin surfaces, the second surface is a tin surface, and a maximum compressive stress of the second surface compressive region is greater than a maximum compressive stress of the first surface compressive region.

Glass or glass ceramic substrates are provided that have a decorative coating. Methods for coating a glass or glass ceramic substrate with a decorative coating are also provided. In the method, a first, textured layer is applied which is filled with a further layer, so that a layer material of graded composition is formed.
