    摘要: An apparatus includes first, second, and third glass portions, with the third glass portion between the first and the second, where the first, second, and third glass portions are configured in spaced relation from each other. The third glass portion is substantially parallel to the first glass portion. A light source emits light into the third glass portion via an edge of the third glass portion. Light-scattering structures scatter at least a portion of the light emitted by the light source into the third glass portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to a primary face of the third glass portion.

    摘要: An invention disclosure discloses a composite structure. The composite structure includes a substrate layer (120), a conductive layer (140) and an overlayer (160). The substrate has a first face (124) and a second face (122). The conductive layer has a first face (148) and a second face (149). The first face of the conductive layer is disposed on the at least a part of the second face of the substrate layer. A portion (144) of the conductive layer has a resistivity at least about ten times higher than an adjacent region (146) on the conductive layer. The overlayer may have a first face (162) and a second face (166). The first face of the overlayer is disposed on at least a part of the second face of the conductive layer such that the conductive layer is disposed between the overlayer and the substrate layer. The substrate layer comprises a material that is optically transparent over at least a part of the electromagnetic spectrum from about 180 nm to about 20 μm. The conductive layer comprises a layer having a thickness of about 10 nm or greater and having a resistivity of about 10 Ohm-cm or less. The conductive layer comprises a material that may be optically translucent or opaque over at least a part of the electromagnetic spectrum from about 180 nm to about 20 μm.
