Abstract
A black-colored article which is not a photovoltaic device. The device includes a substantially transparent substrate; a substantially transparent textured layer provided upon a first surface of the substrate, the textured layer having a textured surface oriented away from the substrate; and an absorption layer including a silicon-germanium alloy, the absorption layer being situated upon the textured surface of the textured layer.
Claims21
A black-colored article, comprising:
- a substantially transparent substrate;
- a substantially transparent textured layer provided upon a first surface of said substrate, said textured layer having a textured surface oriented away from said substrate;
- an anti-reflective layer interposed between the substrate and the textured layer;
- an anti-reflective coating having an incident light surface and being provided upon a second surface of said substrate, the second surface being opposite to the first surface;
- and
- an absorption layer comprising silicon-germanium alloy, said absorption layer being situated upon said textured surface of said textured layer,
- wherein the article is not a photovoltaic device.
