Bendable Silver-Based Low Emissivity Coating On Glass

Abstract
A detailed investigation of a multilayer design for a temperature resistant low emissivity and highly electrical conductive coating is performed. The optical transmittance, reflectance and the color coordinates are discussed. A good agreement with computer simulated spectra and experimental data was achieved. The layer system was prepared by high rate magnetron sputtering on large float glass sheets. By gravity bending in normal atmosphere these coated substrates were formed and then further processed to heated windshields and curved double glazed units. The performance characteristics of these final products are discussed.© (1987) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
