Bird safe glazing

Bird collisions with windows or other glazings are minimized or prevented with a glazing comprising as least one substrate with a UV reflectance coating deposited over the substrate in a patterned arrangement comprised of a plurality of stripes, and each of the plurality of stripes has a thickness that changes by 10 nm or less over every 1 mm in width. Such an arrangement of stripes having soft edges are less apparent,and thus more aesthetically pleasing,when compared with a similar arrangement of stripes formed with hard edges, while providing an effective deterrent to bird collisions. The glazing may also be utilized as part of a laminated glazing or insulated glazing unit. A method of manufacturing the glazing is also provided. 采用种包含至少个基材的窗玻璃，其中在该基材上方以包含多个条纹的图案化布置沉积有UV反射涂层并且该多个条纹中的每个条纹具有在宽度上每1mm内变化10nm或更少的厚度，最小化或防止了鸟类与窗户或其它窗玻璃碰撞。与采用硬边缘形成的类似条纹布置相比，具有软边缘的这样的条纹布置是较不明显的，并且因而在美学上更令人愉悦，同时提供对鸟类碰撞的有效制止。该窗玻璃还可用作层叠窗玻璃或隔离窗玻璃单元的部分。还提供了制造该窗玻璃的方法。
