Abstract:
A diffuser is provided in an illumination system, where the diffuser is capable of blocking significant amounts of infrared (IR) and/or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In certain example embodiments of this invention, the diffuser includes a glass substrate which supports an IR/UV coating(s) that blocks significant amounts of IR and/or UV radiation thereby reducing the amount of IR and/or UV radiation which can makes its way through the diffuser. In certain example embodiments, the coating may include particulate in a frit matrix so that the coating may both diffuse visible light and perform IR and/or UV blocking.
