11. A transparent substrate bearing a solar control low-emissivity coating, the coating being a double-type low-emissivity coating comprising:
-
a first infrared-reflective film comprising silver and a second infrared-reflective film comprising silver, the first infrared-reflective film being closer to the substrate than the second infrared-reflective film; a middle coat between the first and second infrared-reflective films, wherein the middle coat does not include any dielectric absorber film but rather consists essentially of transparent dielectric film; a first dielectric absorber film between the substrate and the first infrared-reflective film, the first dielectric absorber film having a coefficient of extinction (k) at 550 nm of greater than 0.4; and a second dielectric absorber film further from the substrate than the second infrared-reflective film, the second dielectric absorber film having a coefficient of extinction (k) at 550 nm of greater than 0.4, wherein the first and second dielectric absorber films both have a neutral absorption ratio of k380<
