An optical coating for a glass substrate includes an inner metal or metal alloy layer, a first pair of transparent conductive oxide or dielectric layers, and a pair of outer metal or metal alloy layers. The optical coating includes an eye-weighted transmittance of less than about 20% and an eye-weighted reflectance of less than about 30%, as measured with a D65 illuminant according to the CIE 10° Standard Observer.

A method for producing a coated and printed glass panel, includes a) providing a glass substrate having a metal-containing coating on a first surface and a polymeric protective layer with a thickness d arranged on this metal-containing coating, b) removing the polymeric protective layer in a first region using a carbon dioxide laser, c) removing the metal-containing coating within the first region only in a second region using a solid-state laser such that an edge region is created, in which the metal-containing coating is intact and in which the polymeric protective layer was removed in step b), d) applying a ceramic ink only in the first region, e) heat treating the glass panel at >600° C., wherein the polymeric protective layer is removed on the entire first surface, in the edge region, the metal-containing coating is dissolved by the ceramic ink lying above it, and the ceramic ink is fired.

A material includes one or more transparent substrates comprising two main faces, wherein one of the faces of one of the substrates is coated with a functional coating which can have an effect on solar radiation and/or infrared radiation, and a face not coated with the functional coating of one of the substrates includes a reflective color-adjustment coating comprising at least one dielectric layer including a reflective dielectric layer with a thickness of between 2 and 100 nm, all the dielectric layers of the reflective color-adjustment coating have a thickness of less than 100 nm.

Provided are novel energy-efficient signal-transparent window assemblies and methods of fabricating thereof. These window assemblies are specifically configured to allow selective penetration of electromagnetic wavelengths greater than 0.5 millimeters, representing current and future wireless signal spectrum. This signal penetration is provided while IR blocking properties are retained. Furthermore, the windows assemblies remain substantially transparent within the visible spectrum with no specific features detectable to the naked eye. This unique performance is achieved by patterning conductive layers such that the conductive layer edges remain protected during most fabrication steps and the fabrication. As such, the conductive layers are encapsulated and being separated from the environment while retaining separation between individual disjoined structures of these layers. For example, a barrier layer and/or a dielectric layer may extend over the conductive layer edge. The patterning is achieved by forming photoresist structures on the substrate and depositing a low-E stack over these photoresist structures.

Due to the increased glazed area of modern vehicles, especially the large panoramic glass roofs, we have seen a substantial growth in the use solar control glass and coatings. The solar glass compositions and coatings are expensive to manufacture. While solar coatings are more efficient than compositions, they typically cannot be used on monolithic glazing as they are not durable. They must be applied to one of the surfaces on the inside of a laminate. Most of these products also introduce an undesirable color shift. The invention provides a coating that can be used on glass to produce a laminated or monolithic glazing with a neutral gray solar control coating which also has anti-reflective properties and low emissivity.
