Abstract: A first coating is provided on a first side of a glass substrate, and a second coating is provided on a second side of the glass substrate, directly or indirectly. The coatings are designed to reduce color change of the overall coated article, from the perspective of a viewer, upon heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering and/or heat strengthening) and/or to have respective reflective coloration that substantially compensates for each other. For instance, from the perspective of a viewer of the coated article, the first coating may experience a positive a* color value shift due to heat treatment (HT), while the second coating experiences a negative a* color shift due to the HT. Thus, from the perspective of the viewer, color change due to HT (e.g., thermal tempering) can be reduced or minimized, so that non-heat-treated versions and heat treated versions of the coated article appear similar to the viewer.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-layer system including at least two or more parallel layers of thin material unconnected within a layer but joined together by at least two opposing edges that are in series with an anticipated vector of mechanical force. Each layer includes two or more materials of different elasticities that are arranged in series with respect to the two fixed ends of the material. Each layer can possess a unique spatial arrangement of the different elastic segments. The relative movement of the material layers provides patterns within one or more of the layers that reveal colors, spaces, or patterns in the underlying layers depending on the amount of tension across the material. This allows for the dynamic change in outward appearance of the material with the increase and decrease of force.
