An article for reflecting solar energy includes a coating stack having solar reflecting films and metal oxide films, the coating stack applied on a major surface of a glass substrate, and a protective overcoat comprising a first and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the protective overcoat is disposed toward the solar reflective films and metal oxide films; and a polymer encapsulant over outer wall surfaces of the coating stack, the second surface of the protective overcoat and over peripheral edges of the coated article, the encapsulant having a base layer, a top layer and metallic corrosion-inhibitive material in the base layer.

Solar mirrors and methods of making solar mirrors having improved properties

A solar reflective mirror includes a parting film between solar reflecting sublayers to improve optics and stability of the solar mirror. The coating stack of the solar reflector mirror is encapsulated to increase the useable life of the solar mirror, and to eliminate the need for a permanent protection overcoat. Omission of the PPO film which is electrically non-conductive makes the coating stack electrically conductive eliminating the need for a two layer encapsulant when the encapsulant is e-coated. Another feature of the invention is applying the base coat of the encapsulant over the marginal edges of the PPO film leaving a center section without coverage and adding the top coating of the encapsulant over the base coat and the uncoated area.

An organic light emitting diode includes a substrate having a surface modification layer. The surface modification layer includes a first film and a second film. The first film has a coefficient of expansion that is greater than the coefficient of expansion for the second film. The second film has ridges and troughs. A method of making a surface modification layer. A first film is formed over a substrate. The coated substrate is heated to expand the first film to a second surface area. A second film is formed over the expanded first film. The substrate coated with the first and second films is cooled to form ridges and troughs in the second film.
