Protective diamond coating system and method

Abstract

A transparent display includes a display including a transparent substrate and a patterned diamond layer formed on the transparent substrate to at least in part define a diamond waveguide. At least two electronic devices can be connected by the diamond waveguide, and can include a sensor, a transducer, or electronic circuitry, including communication, control, or data processing electronic circuitry.

1 . A method of fabricating a diamond protective coating structure, the method comprising the steps of: cleaning and seeding a substrate; depositing a crystalline diamond layer on the substrate; etching the substrate; and attaching the substrate to protected matter, wherein the crystalline diamond layer reflects at least 28 percent of electromagnetic energy in a beam having a bandwidth of 800 nanometer to 1 micrometer.
