                at least one of the first means for reflecting infrared radiation and the                      
                second means for reflecting infrared radiation comprises                                       
                 a sublayer including Ag, and

                layers and silicon nitride layers;                                                             
                a sixth layer including a zinc oxide;                                                          
                a seventh layer including Ag;                                                                  
                an eighth layer including a second fully oxidized Ni-Cr alloy; and                             
                a ninth layer including silicon nitride.
