Abstract
An article is provided to have a transparent substrate; and an electrically-conductive, metal-containing pattern disposed on a surface the transparent substrate. The electrically-conductive, metal-containing pattern has, in order outwardly from a surface of the transparent substrate: a first darkening agent; a metallic pattern; and a second darkening agent. The first darkening agent substantially conforms to a first surface of the metallic pattern, forming a first darkened surface on the metallic pattern. In addition, the second darkening agent is disposed over at least a portion of a second surface of the metallic pattern, forming a second darkened surface on the metallic pattern.
Claims19
An article comprising:
- a transparent substrate;
- and
- an electrically-conductive, metal-containing pattern disposed on a surface the transparent substrate,
- wherein the electrically-conductive, metal-containing pattern comprises, in order outwardly from a surface of the transparent substrate:
- a first darkening agent;
- a metallic pattern;
- and
- a second darkening agent,
- wherein the first darkening agent substantially conforms to a first surface of the metallic pattern, forming a first darkened surface on the metallic pattern, and
- wherein the second darkening agent is disposed over at least a portion of a second surface of the metallic pattern, forming a second darkened surface on the metallic pattern.
An article comprising:
- a continuous web of transparent polymeric film;
- and
- a plurality of the same or different electrically-conductive metal-containing patterns spaced apart from each other and disposed on a surface of the continuous web of the transparent polymeric film,
- wherein each of the electrically-conductive metal-containing pattern includes, in order outwardly from the surface of the continuous web of the transparent polymeric film:
- a first darkening agent;
- a metallic pattern;
- and
- a second darkening agent;
- wherein the first darkening agent substantially conforms to a first surface of the metallic pattern, forming a first darkened surface on the metallic pattern;
- and
- wherein the second darkening agent is disposed over at least a portion of a second surface of the metallic pattern, forming a second darkened surface.
