  • Method of making antireflective coatings
    Patent number: 5783049
    Abstract: An improved way to impart antireflection properties to light transmissive substrates and, at the same time, achieve a durable surface and electrical conductivity is disclosed. A stack of at least two sputter-deposited light transmissive inorganic layers, one of which being electrically conductive and having a high index of refraction with the one above it (relative to the substrate being antireflected) having a low index of refraction, in combination with a thin lubricating overlayer comprising a solvent-soluble lubricant such as a solvent-soluble fluoropolymer can achieve this desired combination of properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 1996
    Date of Patent: July 21, 1998
    Assignee: Southwall Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: Clark I. Bright, F. Eugene Woodard, Steven J. Pace, Julius G. Kozak
