<p>The invention relates to a coated object comprising a porous coating and an electrically non-insulative coating and a substrate, wherein the porous coating is on top of the non-insulative coating. The surface resistivity of the coated device is not increased or hardly increased by the presence of the porous layer in comparison to that of the single electrically non-insulative coating on the same substrate. This coated object may demonstrate anti-reflective - anti-static or anti-glare - anti-static properties.</p>
