Abstract
An optically clear, electrically conductive, transparent coating on a substrate and a method of coating are disclosed. The coating comprises a first transparent layer deposited as TiOx on the substrate, where x preferably has a value within the range of 1.3 to 1.7, a layer of silver or gold deposited on the first layer, and a third transparent layer deposited as TiOx on the second layer, where x preferably has a value within the range of 1.3 to 1.7. The coating is deposited under vacuum in a partial pressure of oxygen on a rigid transparent substrate such as glass or a flexible plastic substrate and the resultant coated substrate used in electrically heated windows.

6. A transparent laminated window having a luminous transmittance of about 70 percent or more, comprising in combination:
-
a. a rigid transparent sheet, b. a flexible plastic layer having a transparent, clear, electrically conductive coating thereon, said coating comprising; i. a first transparent layer having a thickness of from 200 to 500 Angstroms on said flexible plastic deposited as TiOx, where x is a value greater than 1.3 but less than 1.7, ii. a second transparent layer of metal selected from the class consisting of silver and gold having a thickness of from 60 to 250 Angstroms and a sheet resistance of less than 10 ohms per square on said first layer, iii. a third transparent layer having a thickness of from 200 to 500 Angstroms on said second layer deposited as TiOx, where x is a value greater than 1.3 but less than 1.7. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
