  • Patent number: 10487011
    Abstract: Absorbing layers of a low-emissivity (low-E) coating are designed to cause the coating to have a reduced film side reflectance which is advantageous for aesthetic purposes. In certain embodiments, the absorbing layers are metallic or substantially metallic (e.g., NiCr or NiCrNx) and are each provided between first and second nitride layers (e.g., silicon nitride based layers) in order to reduce or prevent oxidation of the absorbing layers during optional heat treatment thermal tempering, heat bending, and/or heat strengthening). Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, other types of windows, etc.

  • Patent number: 9328017
    Abstract: A coated article including a coating having first and second infrared (IR) reflecting layers comprising silver. A first absorption layer including Zr is located such that the first absorption layer is located between the glass substrate and the first IR reflecting layer, and a second absorption layer including Zr is located such that both the first and second IR reflecting layers are located between the glass substrate and the second absorption layer. The first absorption layer and the second absorption layer are each sandwiched between and contacting dielectric layers. The first absorption layer may be from about 120-200 angstroms (?) thick, and may be at least 40 angstroms thicker than the second absorption layer.
