COATED ARTICLE WITH LOW E COATING HAVING ABSORBING LAYERS FOR LOW FILM SIDE REFLECTANCE AND LOW VISIBLE TRANSMISSION

摘要

Absorbing layers of a low emissivity (low-E) coating are designed to cause the coating to have a reduced film side reflectance which is advantageous for aesthetic purposes. In certain embodiments the absorbing layers are metallic or substantially metallic (e.g. NiCr or NiCrN) and are positioned in order to reduce or prevent oxidation of the absorbing layers during optional heat treatment (e.g. thermal tempering heat bending and/or heat strengthening). Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units other types of windows etc.
