Articles including anticondensation and/or low-E coatings and/or methods of making the same

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A coated article comprising:
a first glass substrate; a plurality of layers sputter-disposed, directly or indirectly, on a first major surface of the first glass substrate, the plurality of layers including, in order moving away from the first glass substrate:
a first layer comprising silicon oxynitride having an index of refraction of 1.5-2.1,a layer comprising ITO directly on and contacting the first layer comprising silicon oxynitride and having an index of refraction of 1.7-2.1, anda second layer comprising silicon oxynitride located on and directly contacting the layer comprising ITO and having an index of refraction of 1.5-2.1; a second glass substrate in substantially parallel, spaced apart relation to the first glass substrate, the first major surface of the first glass substrate facing away from the second glass substrate when assembled; wherein the first glass substrate is heat treated with the plurality of layers disposed thereon, and wherein the first substrate with the plurality of layers on the first major surface of the first glass substrate has a hemispherical emissivity of less than or equal to about 0.20 and/or a sheet resistance less than or equal to about 20 ohms/square following said heat treating.
