Abstract
A coated article includes: a substrate having a first side and a second side; and a patterned coating over at least a portion of the second side of the substrate. The patterned coating includes: a first dielectric layer over at least a portion of the second side of the substrate; an absorbing layer over a first portion of the first dielectric layer and including a first reflected aesthetic, and absent over a second portion of the first dielectric layer and including a second reflected aesthetic; and a second dielectric layer over at least a portion of the absorbing layer. A contrast between the first reflected aesthetic and the second reflected aesthetic forms a pattern. The contrast between the first reflected aesthetic and the second reflected aesthetic is greater when viewing the coated article from a first direction, compared to viewing the coated article from a second direction.
