Abstract

A coated substrate includes a substrate having a glow-discharged surface; and a coating having a submicrometric layer thickness sputter deposited onto the substrate. The coating having a submicrometric layer thickness has a predetermined absorbance. The predetermined absorbance regulates an amount of light transmitted from a light source through the substrate from a first side to a second side of the substrate. The substrate is opaque on the second side of the substrate when the light source is deactivated on the first side of the substrate. The predetermined absorbance varies as a function of one or more controlled process parameters.
