Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for planarisation of a coated glass substrate by deposition of a silazane based layer thereon. Coated substrates according to the invention exhibit improved properties in terms of reduced roughness, lower haze and higher visible light transmission and the coated surface may be exposed to the external environment, for example as surface 1 or surface 4 of a double glazing unit. The resulting smooth surface is less susceptible to marking and scratch damage, and offers enhanced surface energy (improved hydrophobicity).

Abstract:
An automotive glazing comprising an interlayer laminated between first and second plies of a glazing material is disclosed. The glazing is operably associated with at least one light emitting diode. The interlayer comprises a laser-treated region of increased light transmittance to the light from the light emitting diode, relative to the light transmittance to the light from the light emitting diode o f at least part of the remainder of the interlayer. The laser-treated region results from irradiat ion with light emitted by a laser. The light emitting diode is arranged so that light from the light emitting diode can pass through the region of increased light transmittance when the light emitting diode is in use.

Abstract:
A process for the production of an optoelectronic device, such as a photovoltaic cell or a light emitting diode is disclosed. The process comprises providing a substrate having a conductive coating on at least one surface, the conductive coating having an initial roughness and at least one or more spikes,and applying a functional component to the coated surface of the substrate. The surface of the substrate having the conductive coating has been subjected to a polishing step using at least one brush to reduce the height of the spikes inherent to the conductive coating and to give the conductive coating a final roughness. By reducing the spikes there is less potential for the optoelectronic device to suffer from electrical shunts which reduce the efficiency of the device.
