A window has an ion exchange substrate with a top surface. To improve robustness, the top surface has a polycrystalline aluminum oxide film formed from a plurality of crystals. At least 95% of the plurality of crystals in the aluminum oxide film has a largest dimension of no greater than about 10 nanometers. In addition, both the ion exchange substrate and aluminum oxide film are transparent or translucent.

A low-reflection coated glass sheet of the present invention includes a glass sheet and a low-reflection coating formed on at least a portion of a principal surface of the glass sheet. The low-reflection coating contains 60 mass % to 100 mass % of a silica material having a continuous structure. The low-reflection coated glass sheet of the present invention maintains a large transmittance gain even when scraping against foreign matters.

The present invention provides a specific gradient-optical-index porous (GRIP) layer coating on inorganic optical substrate surfaces, and the fabrication method used to create the GRIP layer coating. The method consists of two major processing steps: (1) the co-deposition of an optical index-matching material and a mass density-modulating material, followed by (2) the sacrificial etch of the mass-density-modulating material to reveal a GRIP surface. The method is designed for use with crystalline, polycrystalline, and dry or wet etch-resistant substrate materials, where anti-reflective (AR) solutions using AR surface structures (ARSSs) do not exist. These coatings are designed to minimize Fresnel reflectivity of the original substrate surfaces, using a single porous layer matched to the optical index of the original substrate material.
