  • Glazing provided with a stack of thin layers for solar protection and/or heat insulation
    Patent number: 7166360
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is glazing comprising at least one transparent substrate provided with a stack of thin layers consisting of an alternation of n functional layers having reflection properties in the infrared and/or the solar radiation range and of n+1 coatings composed of one or more layers made of a dielectric, so that each functional layer is placed between two coatings. At Least one layer absorbent in the visible is inserted between two layers of dielectric of at least one of the said coatings.
    Type: Grant

  • Transparent substrate comprising a coating with mechanical strength properties
    Publication number: 20060240266
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transparent substrate, especially of the glass type, which comprises a coating that contains at least one layer C based on silicon or aluminum [nitride, carbonitride, oxynitride or oxycarbonitride] or on a mixture of the two, which is surmounted by a cover layer, characterized in that the cover layer is an oxide-base mechanical protection layer, this oxide being optionally oxygen-substoichiometric or oxygen-superstoichiometric and/or optionally nitrided. Application to the production of a glazing assembly, especially a multiple or laminated glazing assembly.
