Method of making coated articles and coated articles made thereby

摘要

An article includes a first substrate, a functional coating deposited over at least a portion of the substrate, and a protective coating deposited over the functional coating. The functional coating and the protective coating define a coating stack. A polymeric material is deposited over at least a portion of the protective coating. The protective coating has a refractive index that is substantially the same as the refractive index of the polymeric material.
