Patent number: 10266446Abstract: A coated article is provided, having a coating supported by a glass substrate where the coating includes at least one color and/or reflectivity-adjusting absorber layer. The absorber layer(s) allows color tuning, and reduces the glass side reflection of the coated article and/or allows sheet resistance of the coating to be reduced without degrading glass side reflection. In certain example embodiments the absorber layer is provided between first and second dielectric layers which may be of substantially the same material and/or composition. In certain example embodiments, the coated article is capable of achieving desirable transmission, together with desired color, low reflectivity, and low selectivity, when having only one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of silver and/or gold. Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, monolithic windows, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignees: Guardian Glass, LLC, Guardian Europe S.A.R.L.Inventors: Hartmut Knoll, Jochen Butz, Uwe Kriltz, Bernd Disteldorf, Jose Ferreira, Pierrot Pallotta

Patent number: 9789750Abstract: A coated article is provided which may be heat treated (e.g., thermally tempered) and/or heat bent in certain example instances. In certain example embodiments, a zinc stannate based layer is provided between a tin oxide based layer and a silicon nitride based layer, and this has been found to significantly reduce undesirable mottling damage upon heat treatment/bending. This results in significantly improved bendability of the coated article in applications such as vehicle windshields and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignees: Centre Luxembourgeois de Recherches pour la Verre et la Ceramique S.A.
