  • Patent number: 9477346
    Abstract: An abrasion resistant coating is applied to a display of a mobile device. In an embodiment, the coating includes a first layer including siloxane; a second layer including siloxane, wherein the second layer has opposing sides and a hardness greater than the first layer; and a third layer including an amorphous carbon selected from a diamond-like carbon and a diamond-like nano-composite. The first layer and third layer are positioned on opposing sides of the second layer. The third layer has a hardness greater than the second layer.
    Type: Grant
