SUPERSTRATE INCLUDING A BODY AND LAYERS AND METHODS OF FORMING AND USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17809414 titled 'SUPERSTRATE INCLUDING A BODY AND LAYERS AND METHODS OF FORMING AND USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

The abstract describes a superstrate that consists of a body, a first layer, and a second layer. The first layer is located between the body and the second layer. Both layers have a proximal surface and a distal surface, with the body being closer to the proximal surface. The distal surface of the second layer has a lower roughness average (Ra) than the distal surface of the first layer. The method of making the superstrate involves the use of a process or equipment that results in a relatively high Ra for the distal surface of the first layer. The second layer can be formed using another superstrate, ensuring that the Ra of its distal surface is similar to the contact surface of the other superstrate.

Bullet Points

  • A superstrate with a body, a first layer, and a second layer
  • The first layer is positioned between the body and the second layer
  • Both layers have a proximal and a distal surface
  • The distal surface of the second layer has a lower Ra than the distal surface of the first layer
  • The high Ra of the distal surface of the first layer is related to the process or equipment used in its formation
  • The second layer can be formed using another superstrate, ensuring a similar Ra for its distal surface

Potential Applications

  • Solar panels
  • Touchscreen displays
  • Optical coatings
  • Anti-reflective coatings

Problems Solved

  • Provides a superstrate with improved surface characteristics
  • Allows for the creation of layers with different roughness levels
  • Enables the use of multiple superstrates with matching surface roughness

Benefits

  • Enhanced performance of superstrates in various applications
  • Improved light transmission and efficiency
  • Reduced reflection and glare
  • Increased durability and resistance to wear


Original Abstract Submitted

A superstrate can include a body, a first layer, and a second layer, wherein the first layer is disposed between the body and the second layer. Each of the first and second layers has a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, wherein the body is closer to the proximal surface than to the distal surface. An Ra of the distal surface of the second layer is less than an Ra of the distal surface of the first layer. In a method of making the superstrate, the relatively high Ra of the distal surface of the first layer may be related to the process or equipment used in forming the first layer. The second layer can be formed using another superstrate, where the Ra of the distal surface of the second layer is substantially the same as the contact surface of the other superstrate.
