1. An optical display comprising:
- a transparent first substrate having first and second sides; and
a multi-layer optical film applied to one of said first and second sides, said film comprising at least one electrically conductive layer, at least one dielectric layer comprised of niobium pentoxide and a protective layer comprised of first and second layers of protective material positioned between said dielectric layer and said electrically conductive layer, said first protective layer is oxidized titanium and said second layer comprises a material having a plasma energy level less than niobium pentoxide; and
a second substrate comprised of the front face of said display wherein said first substrate is bonded directly to said second substrate with said optical film positioned therebetween.

Abstract
The present invention provides a device in the form of a filter which is useable in conjunction with a plasma display panel, which is applied to the front face of a display, and which functions to reduce reflection after assembly to acceptable levels, to increase contrast enhancement ratios, to reduce EMI emissions to levels which comply with consumer safety or other governmental or other regulations or standards and to reduce infrared transmission in the 800 nm-1000 nm range to a level which does not interfere with IR remote control operation. The present invention also relates to a method of making such a plasma display panel filter and device.

11. A method of making a display with an optical filter comprising:
-
providing a transparent substrate having a first side and a second side;
applying a multi-layer optical film to one of said first and second sides of said transparent substrate, said film comprising at least one electrically conductive layer, at least one dielectric layer, and at least one protective layer comprising of a first titanium layer and a second layer between said electrically conductive layer and said dielectric layer;
applying an electrically conductive layer to said one side of said first transparent substrate or a niobium pentoxide dielectric layer applied to said first substrate, applying said first layer to said electrically conductive layer, applying said second layer to said first layer and applying said dielectric layer to said second layer, said second layer is a material having a plasma energy level less than niobium pentoxide;
providing a display with a second substrate forming the front face thereof; and
securing said first substrate directly to said second substrate with said optical film positioned therebetween. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
