Abstract
An anti-reflective glass article including a glass substrate, a first coating of a metal oxide and a second coating of a metal oxide. The first coating of metal oxide is applied over the substrate. The refractive index of the first coating of metal oxide ranges from 1.8 to 2.6. The thickness of the first coating is greater than l/(4*n), wherein l equals a design wavelength in the visible spectrum and n equals the refractive index of said first coating of metal oxide. The second coating of metal oxide is applied over the first coating. The second coating of metal oxide has a refractive index of about 1.45 to about 1.6 and a thickness of less than l/4(n).
