Abstract: As the cost of energy has increased, the use of solar coatings on automotive and architectural glazing has enjoyed massive growth. Most solar coatings have metallic silver layers that are highly reflective in the infrared. The silver is deposited over a “wetting” layer which must have a certain level of roughness to prevent agglomeration of the silver and to ensure good adhesion. However, a very smooth wetting layer is beneficial in minimizing haze and improving solar performance. These competing factors make it difficult to deposit a silver layer that promotes both high stability and good adhesion as well as excellent optical and solar properties. The disclosure uses an AgAl/Ag bilayer, which transitions in the composition from silver-aluminum to silver. The bilayer has excellent stability and does not require a rough substrate, thus enabling the use of a smooth high-aluminum-content ZnAlOx wetting layer in providing a coating with superior stability, adhesion, optical, and solar characteristics.

Abstract: A plurality of vehicular electrochromic mirror reflective elements includes first and second vehicular electrochromic mirror reflective elements, each having a respective planar rear glass shaped substrate and a respective planar front glass substrate. The planar front glass shaped substrates are cut out from a planar glass sheet. Each planar rear glass shaped substrate is joined with a respective planar front glass substrate portion of the planar glass sheet via a respective perimeter seal. With the planar rear glass shaped substrate joined with the planar front glass shaped substrate, the circumferential perimeter cut edge of the planar front glass shaped substrate and the circumferential perimeter cut edge of the planar rear glass shaped substrate are processed to provide a circumferential rounded perimeter edge of the respective vehicular electrochromic mirror reflective element having a radius of curvature of at least 2.5 mm.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to articles including anticondensation and/or low-E coatings that are exposed to an external environment, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the anticondensation and/or low-E coatings may be survivable in an outside environment. The coatings also may have a sufficiently low sheet resistance and hemispherical emissivity such that the glass surface is more likely to retain heat from the interior area, thereby reducing (and sometimes completely eliminating) the presence condensation thereon. The articles of certain example embodiments may be, for example, skylights, vehicle windows or windshields, IG units, VIG units, refrigerator/freezer doors, and/or the like.
