Abstract

The present disclosure relates to producing an electrically connected coated substrate. An example method comprises providing a coating on a surface of a substrate; and applying an electrically conductive material to the coating. The electrically conductive material is not heated above 500° C.

Claims (20)

1. An electrically connected coated substrate, comprising:

a substrate;

a coating including one or more conductive layers on the substrate; and

a layer comprising electrically conductive material applied to a top surface of the coating,

wherein, the electrically conductive material comprises a busbar, an etchant and soldering paste and is not heat treated above 500° C., and

wherein, the top layer of the coating is electrically non-conductive and the electrically conductive material is in contact with at least one conductive layer of the coating by etching of the coating.

2. The electrically connected coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the coating is heatable.

3. The electrically connected coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises at least one of an infrared reflective coating, a nanowire coating, a low-emissivity coating, a transparent conductive oxide, and combinations thereof.

4. The electrically connected coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises an infrared reflective coating including at least two silver layers.

5. The electrically connected coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive material comprises tin.

6. A vehicle glazing, comprising:

a first glass substrate;

a second glass substrate; and

at least one polymer interlayer between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate,

wherein at least one of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate comprises the electrically connected coated substrate according to claim 1 .

7. The vehicle glazing according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first glass substrate has a S 1 surface facing vehicle a vehicle exterior and a S 2 surface opposite the S 1 surface,

wherein the second glass substrate has a S 3 surface and a S 4 surface opposite the S 3 surface and facing a vehicle interior, and

wherein the coating is provided on a surface selected from the group consisting of the S 2 surface of the first glass substrate and the S 3 surface of the second glass substrate.

8. The vehicle glazing according to claim 7 , wherein the coating is provided on the S 3 surface of the second glass substrate.
