Compositions and methods for forming coatings of selected color on a substrate and articles produced thereby
View Patent ↗A coated article comprising a substrate and a copper oxide and manganese oxide coating over the substrate, the coating having the molar ratio of copper to manganese in the range of about 6.8 to 1.2 and a blue color in transmission is disclosed.
1. A coated article comprising:
a. a clear glass substrate selected from a flat glass sheet or a glass ribbon; and
b. a coating of a selected transmitted color consisting essentially of a mixture of copper oxide and manganese oxide over the substrate, the coating having the molar ratio of copper to manganese in the range of about 0.8 to 1.2 and the transparent coated article having a blue color in transmission.
2. The coated article of claim 1 , wherein a majority of the coating is cubic Cu 1.4 Mn 1.6 O 4 spinel type-phase.
3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the substrate has dimensions of at least 10.2 cm by 10.2 cm.
4. A coated article comprising:
a. a clear glass substrate selected from a flat glass sheet or a glass ribbon; and
b. a coating of a selected transmitted color consisting essentially of a mixture of copper oxide and manganese oxide directly over the substrate wherein a majority of the coating is cubic Cu 1.4 Mn 1.6 O 4 spinel type-phase, and wherein the coating has the molar ratio of copper to manganese in the range of about 0.8 to 1.2 and the transparent coated article having a blue color in transmission.
