An electrochromic article includes a first substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface and a second substrate having a third surface and an opposite fourth surface separated from the first substrate. The second surface of the first substrate faces the third surface of the second substrate and a first electrode is positioned over at least a portion of the second surface of the first substrate. A second electrode is positioned over at least a portion of the third surface of the second substrate. A sealant material is positioned between the first electrode and second electrode. An electrochromic composition is positioned in direct contact with at least a portion of the first electrode and at least a portion of the second electrode. The sealant material is formed from an organic polymer material having an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of less than or equal to 2 cc/m·day·atm.

Seal for electrochromic device

A coated article includes: a substrate; a first dielectric layer over at least a portion of the substrate; a first metallic layer over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer; a first primer layer over at least a portion of the first metallic layer; and a second dielectric layer over at least a portion of the first primer layer; where the first primer layer is selected from the group consisting of zinc, aluminum-doped silver, aluminum zinc, vanadium zinc, tungsten tantalum, titanium niobium, zirconium niobium, tungsten niobium, aluminum niobium, aluminum titanium, tungsten titanium, tantalum titanium, zinc titanium, zinc tin, indium zinc, silver zinc, gallium zinc, indium tin, mixtures thereof, combinations thereof, and alloys thereof.

Low sheet resistance coating

A coated article includes a substrate, a functional layer over at least a portion of the substrate, and a protective coating over at least a portion of the functional layer, wherein an uppermost layer of the functional layer is a metal oxide layer, and wherein the protective coating comprises a metal nitride layer and a metal oxynitride layer that is disposed between and in contact with at least part of the metal nitride layer and the metal oxide layer of the functional layer.

Coated article having a protective coating containing silicon nitride and/or silicon oxynitride

Methods of processing coated articles, such as transparencies, are provided comprising flash annealing one or more layers of the coated article. The one or more layers may be reflective metallic layers, such as silver layers, or comprise a transparent conductive oxide, such as indium tin oxide, or a semiconductor.

Flash annealing of transparent conductive oxide and semiconductor coatings

The present invention is directed to coated articles. A substrate is coated with an underlayer having at a first underlayer film made of a first high refractive index material. A transparent conductive oxide layer over at least a portion of the underlayer. An embedded film is embedded within the transparent conductive oxide layer wherein the embedded film comprises a second high refractive index material.

Transparent conductive oxide having an embedded film

A method of making a coated substrate having a transparent conductive oxide layer with a dopant selectively distributed in the layer includes selectively supplying an oxide precursor material and a dopant precursor material to each coating cell of a multi-cell chemical vapor deposition coater, wherein the amount of dopant material supplied is selected to vary the dopant content versus coating depth in the resultant coating.

A glass sheet has an electrically conductive film having a sheet resistance in the range of 9.5 to 14.0 ohms/square; an emissivity in the range of 0.14 to 0.17 and an absorption coefficient of greater than 1.5&#xd7;10cmin the wavelength range of 400-1100 nanometers, and a surface roughness of less than 15 nanometers Root Means Square. A glass sheet of another embodiment of the invention has an electrically conductive film having a phosphorous-fluorine doped tin oxide pyrolytically deposited film on the surface of the glass sheet, wherein the ratio of phosphorous precursor to tin precursor is in the range of greater than 0-0.4. The coated glass sheets of the invention can be used in the manufacture of multi sheet insulating units, OLEDs and solar cells.
