Transparent substrate with a stack of silver layers; application as laminated heating window

摘要

A laminated structure for windows, particularly on vehicles, comprises a transparent substrate (1) on which are deposited three layers of ZnS (2,4,6) sandwiching two layers of Ag (3,5). Ag layer (3) closest to the substrate is thinner than layer (5). A further transparent substrate (8) may be bonded by polyvinylbutyral layer (7) on to uppermost layer (6) of ZnS. To assist bonding very thin layers of another metal, alloy or oxide thereof may be located between substrate (1) and layer (7) and the adjacent ZnS layers (2) and (6).
