The present invention discloses a glazing characterized through a high hemispherical light transmission together with an enhanced tuneable light diffusion, what we hereby call a highly transmitting glazing with optimized Hortiscatter. The glazing of the invention is particularly well suitable for a greenhouse. The invention is a global approach which allows to propose different glazing which can be utilized depending on the type of crop and the geographical zone, providing optimized Hortiscatter on demand

A method of manufacturing a glass includes forming a first etch protection layer on a first surface of a glass substrate, and forming a second etch protection layer on a second surface of the glass substrate; removing a part of the first protection layer and a part of the second protection layer by applying a laser pulse penetrating the glass substrate from above the first surface of the glass substrate; forming a cut part in the glass substrate by etching the glass substrate using an etching solution; and removing the first etch protection layer and the second etch protection layer. The second surface is opposite to the first surface.

An optical system for a camera may include a lens group having a one or more lenses, a prism, and an image sensor. The prism may be a single element light folding prism positioned between the lenses and the image sensor along the optical transmitting path of the light. The prism may be constructed from a single, monolithic piece of stock material and may include at least four surfaces, which may fold the light within the prism at least four times to guide the light from the one or more lenses passing through the prism to the image sensor. The prism may also include one or more aperture masks inside the prism to reduce flare.

To provide glass including a colored layer and a manufacturing method thereof.

Provided is glass containing one or more glass components selected from the group consisting of Ti ions, Nb ions, W ions, and Bi ions. The glass includes a colored layer having an arbitrary shape.

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.

A method of manufacturing a coated glass article that includes (i) preparing a glass substrate having a first and second opposed main surfaces, (ii) irradiating at least the first main surface of the glass substrate with a laser to form at least one separating line defining contour lines, for dividing at least one glass article from the glass substrate, the glass article having a shape and/or size different from the glass substrate of step (i), (iii) chemically strengthening the glass substrate on which at least one separating line is formed, the separating line extending in a depth direction from the first main surface to the second main surface, and (iv) separating of the at least one glass article from the glass substrate according to the at least one separating line. In addition, the glass substrate is coated between steps (iii) and (iv).

According to one embodiment, a method for producing a coated glass article may include applying an anti-reflective coating onto a glass substrate. The glass substrate may include a first major surface, and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The anti-reflective coating may be applied to the first major surface of the glass substrate. A substrate thickness may be measured between the first major surface and the second major surface. The glass substrate may have an aspect ratio of at least about 100:1. The coated glass article may have a reflectance of less than 2% for all wavelengths from 450 nanometers to 700 nanometers. The anti-reflective coating may include one or more layers. The cumulative layer stress of the anti-reflective coating may have an absolute value less than or equal to about 167,000 MPa nm.
