A window for a display device that includes: a base substrate; a first coating layer disposed on a first surface of the base substrate; and a second coating layer disposed on a second surface that overlaps the first surface of the base substrate, wherein the base substrate further includes a vertical surface perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface, and the first coating layer overlaps the vertical surface. The impact resistance of the window is improved through the first coating layer covering the rear surface and the vertical surface of the base substrate.

A nanovoided spacer material that is used as a mechanical buffer between at least two optical components. The optical components may include gratings (e.g., Bragg gratings, moth-eye surfaces, etc.) having sensitive and fragile surfaces (e.g., patterned surfaces). The nanovoided spacers may have a predetermined thickness and concentration of nanovoids to provide a given optical property (e.g., a reflection coefficient at an interface between two optical elements). The nanovoided spacer may include a multilayer structure (e.g., two or more layers) of varying refractive index (e.g., to reduce reflections between surfaces of the optical elements). The nanovoided spacer may include from about 10% to 90% nanovoids by volume and may have an average index of refraction of about 1.15. Various other methods, systems, apparatuses, and materials are also disclosed.

Provided is a decorative sheet that, due to an asperity profile, creates a highly textured impression, such as a contoured impression, three-dimensional impression, impression of depth, and the like, even after being molded, and that has exceptional surface flatness. This decorative sheet has a layer that includes at least a transparent resin film layer, the layer that includes at least the transparent resin film layer having on one surface thereof an asperity profile having recesses that reach the transparent resin film layer, and includes an area in which the depth (d) of the recesses of the asperity profile, and the thickness T from the start point of the depth (d) to the surface on the opposite side from the surface that has the asperity profile in the layer that includes the transparent resin film layer, satisfy the relationship (d)/T×100=5-10, and is intended for use as a decorative resin molded article in which a molding resin is laminated to the surface having the asperity profile.

A method of manufacturing a substrate (16) with a ceramic thermal barrier coating (28, 32). The interface between layers of the coating contains an engineered surface roughness (12, 24) to enhance the mechanical integrity of the bond there between. The surface roughness is formed in a surface of a mold (10,20) and is infused by a subsequently cast layer of material (16, 28). The substrate may be partially sintered (76) prior to application of the coating layer(s) and the coated substrate and coating layer(s) may be co-sintered to form a fully coherent strain-free interlayer.

The present invention is a laminate sheet having two laminae. The first lamina is a relatively hard material having first and second surfaces. The first surface has a plurality of raised and generally pointed piercing structures, each structure having a tip. The second lamina is graphite foil material, which is mated to the relatively hard material, such that at least some of the piercing structures pierce the graphite foil material. In one embodiment, the first lamina has no performations and is uniformly smooth. In another embodiment, the second surface also has a plurality of piercing structures and a third lamina comprising graphite foil is mated to the second surface.
