1. A coated article including a low-E coating supported by a substrate, the low-E coating comprising:
- first and second infrared (IR) reflecting layers comprising silver and/or gold;
at least one UV blocking layer that blocks significant amounts of UV light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm so that no more than about 20% of light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm passes through the low-E coating;
wherein the UV blocking layer is disposed between the first and second IR reflecting layers, but is positioned so as to not directly contact the first and second IR reflecting layers, andwherein the at least one UV blocking layer is between and in contact with a first and a second tin oxide layer.

Abstract
A coated article includes a low-E coating supported by a substrate (e.g., glass substrate), the low-E coating including first and second IR reflecting layers comprising silver and/or gold, and at least one UV blocking layer that blocks significant amounts of UV light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm so that no more than about 20% of light having a wavelength of from 380-400 passes through the low-E coating. The UV blocking layer may be positioned so as to not directly contact the first and second IR reflecting layers.

9. A coated article including a low-E coating supported by a substrate, the low-E coating comprising, moving away from the substrate:
-
a first infrared (IR) reflecting layer comprising silver and/or gold; a dielectric layer comprising first and second portions; a second IR reflecting layer comprising silver and/or gold; wherein the dielectric layer is split such that at least one UV blocking layer that blocks significant amounts of UV light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm so that no more than about 20% of light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm passes through the low-E coating is disposed between the first and second portions of the dielectric layer, and wherein the at least one UV blocking layer is between and in contact with a first and a second tin oxide layer. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A coated article including a low-E coating supported by a substrate, the low-E coating comprising:
-
a first infrared (IR) reflecting layer comprising silver and/or gold; at least one UV blocking layer that blocks significant amounts of UV light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm so that no more than about 20% of light having a wavelength of from 380-400 nm passes through the low-E coating; a lower contact layer; a second IR reflecting layer comprising silver and/or gold; and an upper contact layer, wherein the upper contact layer is more oxided than the lower contact layer; wherein the UV blocking layer is positioned so as to not directly contact the first and second IR reflecting layers, and wherein the at least one UV blocking layer is between and in contact with a first and a second tin oxide layer.
