Abstract:

Described herein are coated glass or glass-ceramic articles having improved smudge resistance. Further described are methods of making and using the improved articles. The coated articles generally include a glass or glass-ceramic substrate and an oleophilic coating disposed thereon. The oleophilic coating is not a free-standing adhesive film, but a coating that is formed on or over the glass or glass-ceramic substrate.
