Abstract:
Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to articles that exhibit scratch-resistance and improved optical properties. In some examples, the article exhibits a color shift of about 2 or less, when viewed at an incident illumination angle in the range from about 0 degrees to about 60 degrees from normal under an illuminant. In one or more embodiments, the articles include a substrate, and an optical film disposed on the substrate. The optical film includes a scratch-resistant layer and an optical interference layer. The optical interference layer may include one or more sub-layers that exhibit different refractive indices. In one example, the optical interference layer includes a first low refractive index sub-layer and a second a second high refractive index sub-layer. In some instances, the optical interference layer may include a third sub-layer.
Abstract:
A distortion-reducing anti-glare (DRAG) structure is disclosed, wherein the DRAG structure includes first and second transparent mediums. The first transparent medium has a first refractive index and a first light-scattering anti-glare (AG) surface. The first AG surface by itself reduces glare but introduces an amount of distortion to the transmitted light. A second transparent medium having a second refractive index greater than the first refractive index is selectively added to the first transparent medium to reduce the amount of distortion in the transmitted light.
Abstract:
A textured article that includes a transparent substrate having at least one primary surface and a glass, glass-ceramic or ceramic composition; a micro-textured surface on the primary surface of the substrate, the micro-textured surface comprising a plurality of hillocks; and a nano-structured surface on the micro-textured surface, the nano-structured surface comprising a plurality of nano-sized protrusions or a multilayer coating comprising a plurality of layers having a nano-scale thickness. Further, the hillocks have an average height of about 10 to about 1000 nm and an average longest lateral cross-sectional dimension of about 1 to about 100 μm, and the nano-sized protrusions have an average height of about 10 to about 500 nm and an average longest lateral cross-sectional dimension of about 10 to about 500 nm. The substrate may be chemically strengthened with a compressive stress greater than about 500 MPa and a compressive depth-of-layer greater than about 15 μm.
Abstract:
A light-transmitting structure comprising a substrate having a plurality of regions where at least two of the plurality of regions have different refractive indices, an optical path length of light transmitted from a first light source through the plurality of regions is substantially constant, and where light transmitted from a second light source into the substrate is scattered by at least one of the plurality of regions.
Abstract:
An antireflection article including: a transparent substrate having a refractive index of from 1.48 to 1.53; a binder layer associated with the substrate, the binder having a refractive index of from 1.55 to 1.75; and a nanoparticulate monolayer or near monolayer associated with the binder layer, the nanoparticulate layer having an effective refractive index less than the refractive index of binder. Methods of making and using the article are also disclosed.
Abstract:
One or more aspects of the disclosure pertain to an article including a film disposed on a glass substrate, which may be strengthened, where the interface between the film and the glass substrate is modified, such that the article has an improved average flexural strength, and the film retains key functional properties for its application. Some key functional properties of the film include optical, electrical and/or mechanical properties. In one or more embodiments, the interface exhibits an effective adhesion energy of about less than about 4 J/m2. In some embodiments, the interface is modified by the inclusion of a crack mitigating layer containing an inorganic material between the glass substrate and the film.

Some key functional properties of the film include optical, electrical and/or mechanical properties. The bridging of a crack from one of the film or the glass substrate into the other of the film or the glass substrate can be prevented by inserting a crack mitigating layer between the glass substrate and the film.

Abstract:
A glass-based assembly includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate comprising a surface. The surface has flaws, such as a population of small cracks extending into the surface, whereby the substrate is weakened relative to ideal strength thereof. The assembly further includes a coating coupled to the substrate and overlaying at least some of the flaws. Ultimate strength of the substrate with the coating coupled thereto is greater than that of the substrate alone, without the coating.
