Low-Color Scratch-Resistant Articles with a Multilayer Optical Film
First Claim
1. An article comprising:
- a substrate having a surface; and
an optical film disposed on the substrate surface forming a coated surface, the optical film comprising a scratch-resistant layer;
wherein the article exhibits a color shift of about 2 or less, when viewed at an incident illumination angle in the range from about 0 degrees to about 60 degrees from normal incidence under an illuminant.

Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to articles that exhibit scratch-resistance and improved optical properties. In some examples, the article exhibits a color shift of about 2 or less, when viewed at an incident illumination angle in the range from about 0 degrees to about 60 degrees from normal under an illuminant. In one or more embodiments, the articles include a substrate, and an optical film disposed on the substrate. The optical film includes a scratch-resistant layer and an optical interference layer. The optical interference layer may include one or more sub-layers that exhibit different refractive indices. In one example, the optical interference layer includes a first low refractive index sub-layer and a second a second high refractive index sub-layer. In some instances, the optical interference layer may include a third sub-layer.

17. An article comprising:
-
a substrate comprising a substrate surface; and an optical film disposed on the substrate surface forming a coated surface, wherein the optical film comprises a scratch-resistant layer and an optical interference layer disposed between the scratch-resistant layer and the substrate, the optical interference layer comprising at least one set of sub-layers, the set of sub-layers comprising a first low RI sub-layer and a second high RI sub-layer, wherein the article exhibits a hardness in the range from about 8 GPa to about 50 GPa as measured on the coated surface by indenting the coated surface with a Berkovitch indenter to form an indent having an indentation depth of at least about 100 nm from the surface of the coated surface, and wherein the article exhibits a color shift of less than about 2, when viewed at an incident illumination angle in the range from about 0 degrees to about 60 degrees from normal incidence under an illuminant. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
