  • Publication number: 20160083291
    Abstract: The invention relates to a glass sheet with high IR transmission. More precisely, the invention relates to a glass sheet having a composition comprising in a content expressed in percentages of the total weight of the glass: SiO2 55-78%? Al2O3 0-18% B2O3 0-18% Na2O 0-20% CaO 0-15% MgO 0-10% K2O 0-10% BaO 0-5%? total iron (expressed in the form of Fe2O3) 0.002-0.4%?? and chromium in a content such as: 0.0001%<Cr2O3<0.002%, expressed in percentages of the total weight of glass. The invention also relates to the use of such a glass sheet in a device using an infrared radiation that propagates essentially inside said sheet. Because of its high IR transmission the glass sheet according to the invention can be advantageously used, for example, in a screen or panel or pad, wherein the glass sheet defines a touch sensitive surface.

  • Publication number: 20140240858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mirror including a glass substrate covered with a silver layer, which is in turn covered with at least one paint layer, wherein the intensity ratio of the crystallographic orientations (111)/(200) within the silver layer is less than 5.0. Said mirror is characterized in that the silver layer has a correlation length (CLz) (111), as measured by X-ray diffraction using the Scherrer method (i.e., using the Scherrer equation) of greater than 27.0 nm.
