Abstract

A method for producing a substrate with a functional layer, the substrate with a functional layer including a substrate having a first main surface, second main surface, and end part, and a functional layer, the functional layer being formed on the first main surface and the end part, includes: laminating a resin base having an adhesive layer comprising a carbon-containing material, on at least a part of the second main surface of the substrate; and forming the functional layer by a dry deposition method. The resin base having the adhesive layer is laminated so that at least a part of a periphery of the resin base having the adhesive layer lies outside a periphery of the substrate. The resin base having the adhesive layer comprises an incision or opening in at least a part of a region which lies inside the periphery of the substrate.

Claims (29)

1. A coated substrate comprising:

a substrate having a first main surface, a second main surface, and an end part;

a low-reflection film and an antifouling layer deposited in this order on/above the first main surface and the end part of the substrate; and

a resin base laminated on at least a part of the second main surface of the substrate with an adhesive layer containing a carbon-containing material so that at least a part of a periphery of the resin base and the adhesive layer lies outside a periphery of the substrate;

wherein

the substrate is a glass substrate having a thickness of 0.2 to 5 mm,

the low-reflection film of the first main surface comprises an outermost layer constituted of a carbon-containing silicon oxide layer which comprises silicon oxide as a main component and contains carbon in such a proportion that a number of carbon atoms contained is 5×10 18 atoms/cm 3 or more and 5×10 19 atoms/cm 3 or less,

wherein

the resin base and the having an adhesive layer contains an incision or opening which extends vertically within the adhesive layer to a main surface of the resin base opposing the adhesive layer,

the incision or opening lies only in a region extending from 0.5 to 25 mm in terms of distance from the periphery of the substrate, and

the end part of the substrate has a variation in color ΔE of 2 or less.

2. The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a printed part; and

the incision or opening lies only in the region of the printed part.

3. A method for producing a substrate with a functional layer, the substrate with a functional layer comprising a substrate having a first main surface, second main surface, and end part, and a functional layer, the functional layer being formed on the first main surface and the end part, the method comprising:

laminating a resin base on at least a part of the second main surface of the substrate with an adhesive layer comprising a carbon containing material; and

forming the functional layer by a dry deposition method,

wherein at least a part of a periphery of the resin base and the adhesive layer lies outside a periphery of the substrate, and

wherein the resin base and the adhesive layer comprises an incision or opening in at least a part of a region which lies inside the periphery of the substrate, wherein the incision or opening in the resin base having an adhesive layer extends vertically within the adhesive layer to a main surface of the resin base opposing the adhesive layer, and

the incision or opening lies only in a region extending from 0.5 to 25 mm in terms of distance from the periphery of the substrate.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the incisions or openings are a broken-line arrangement.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein a cycle of the broken-line arrangement is 5 mm or larger and 20 mm or less, and

wherein a proportion of a length of the incision or opening to the cycle of the broken line is 30% or more and 80% or less.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a vapor deposition method is used as the dry deposition method, and an adhesion layer or an antifouling layer is formed as the functional layer.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the vapor deposition method includes heating or formation of plasma.

8. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a sputtering is used as the dry deposition method, and an adhesion layer is formed as the functional layer.

9. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the glass substrate is a chemically strengthened glass.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the glass substrate has a printed part on the second main surface.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the incision or opening lies over the printed part.
