SOLAR CONTROL SINGLE LOW-E SERIES WITH LOW VISIBLE REFLECTANCE

摘要

Low emissivity structures and methods are provided for reducing solar or visible transmissions with reduced reflectivity, such as for architectural glass. Reflectivity may be less than about 20% when visible transmissions are between about 20-70%. An absorption layer may be provided on one and/or both sides of the silver layer, such that absorption may be increased without excessively thickening other layers. In one embodiment, a low-E structure with reduced reflectance may comprise a glass substrate, a bottom dielectric, an absorption layer of a metal or metal nitride, a silver layer, a protective layer of a metal or metal nitride, and a top dielectric. The bottom absorption layer may have a thickness between about 5-75 angstroms.
