20120196133 | Heat treatable four layer anti-reflection coating - A coated article includes a heat treatable (e.g., temperable) antireflection (AR) coating having four layers. The AR coating includes a layer adjacent the glass substrate having an index of refraction substantially matching that of the glass substrate, and having a compressive residual stress. In certain example embodiments, the coating may include the following layers from the glass substrate outwardly: stress-reducing layer/medium index layer/high index layer/low index layer. In certain example embodiments, depending on the chemical and optical properties of the high index layer and the substrate, the stress-reducing layer of the AR coating is selected to cause a net compressive residual stress and thus improve the overall performance of the antireflection coating when the coated article is heat treated. | 08-02-2012 |

20100304523 | Method of enhancing the conductive and optical properties of deposited indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films - Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a method of activating an indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film deposited, directly or indirectly, on a substrate. The ITO thin film is baked in a low oxygen environment at a temperature of at least 450 degrees C. for at least 10 minutes so as to provide for (1) a post-baked resistivity of the ITO thin film that is below a resistivity of a corresponding air-baked ITO thin film, (2) a post-baked visible spectrum absorption and transmission of the ITO thin film that respectively are below and above the absorption and transmission of the corresponding air-baked ITO thin film, and (3) a post-baked infrared reflectivity of the ITO thin film that is above the reflectivity of the corresponding air-baked ITO thin film. The substrate with the activated ITO thin film may be used in a photovoltaic device, for example. | 12-02-2010 |

In certain example embodiments, the electronic device includes at least first and second glass substrates. An Anti-Newton Ring (ANR)/antireflective (AR) coating is provided on the second and/or third surface of the electronic device (e.g., on an inner surface of the cover glass and/or on an outer surface of the color filter substrate of an LCD device) so as to help reduce the formation of Newton Rings caused by the air pockets that surround one or more points of unintentional glass deformation. This may be made possible in certain example embodiments because the ANR coating is optically matched to reduce reflections of light between the first and second substrates. | 08-09-2012 |
