    Abstract: An article includes a glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic substrate with at least one surface that has a textured region. The textured region includes a plurality of topographical features that define voids opening towards the surface. The article further includes a coating that comprises a cured silicon oxide (SiOx) material positioned in a pattern on at least a portion of the textured region to fill the voids at least partially. The cured SiOx material planarizes the textured region and modifies surface attributes such as haze, distinctness-of-image (DOI), surface roughness, and abrasion performance. A method is disclosed for planarizing a textured surface by jetting a solution comprising a SiOx material and a solvent in a pattern on a portion of the textured surface. The SiOx solution is cured to form a coating comprising the cured SiOx material.

    Abstract: A coated article for use as a display screen for automotive displays includes a substrate that is a glass or a glass ceramic and has at least one surface, and an ETC coating bonded to the surface of the substrate by inkjet printing. A method for applying the ETC coating onto the substrate to produce the coated articles includes providing the substrate having the surface, where the substrate is a glass substrate or a glass ceramic substrate. The method further includes preparing an ETC coating composition that includes a polymer and a solvent. The viscosity of the ETC coating composition is from 2 cP to 30 cP. The method further includes inkjet printing the ETC coating composition onto the surface of the substrate and curing the ETC coating composition to produce the ETC coating. Inkjet printing increases the durability and uniformity of the ETC coating.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass article comprising: forming a first layer of a first metal on a glass substrate, the glass substrate comprising silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide; subjecting the glass substrate with the first layer of the first metal to a first thermal treatment; forming a second layer of a second metal over the first layer of the first metal; and subjecting the second layer of the second metal to a second thermal treatment, the first thermal treatment and the second thermal treatment inducing intermixing of the first metal, the second metal, and at least one of aluminum, aluminum oxide, silicon, and silicon dioxide of the glass substrate to form a metallic region comprising the first metal, the second metal, aluminum oxide, and silicon dioxide. The first metal can be silver. The second metal can be copper.
