Coatings on glass

摘要

A mirror assembly comprising a glass substrate (1), a low transmissivity reflecting coating (2) on the substrate and an opacifying member (7) which is assembled adjacent to the glass substrate for a front surface mirror or the reflecting coating for a back surface mirror. The present invention also provides a method of producing a mirror assembly comprising depositing onto a hot ribbon of glass during the production process a low transmissivity reflecting coating and assembling an opacifying member adjacent to the glass substrate or the reflecting coating of the mirror so formed.
