A film coating method enables, when forming film layers in response to optical characteristics on a substrate, to coat gradation range layers of decreasing thickness without distributions, and to coat films on a plurality of substrates at the same time. The gradation range layer is formed by sputtering evaporation targets of dielectric substances with an introduction gas, followed by forming the films with compounds generated by applying a reactive gas to the films.

A system and method are provided for forming electromagnetic energy transmissive layers, which are particularly configured to selectively scatter specific and selectable wavelengths of electromagnetic energy, while allowing remaining wavelengths to pass therethrough. Processes are provided by which to form, or otherwise incorporate, one or more energy scattering layers, including uniquely implementing optical light scattering techniques in such energy scattering layers, and to objects, object portions, wall plates, lenses, filters, screens and the like that are formed of, or that otherwise incorporate, such transmissive energy-scattering layers. Refractive indices of particles fixed in a matrix are tunable in order that the finished layers provide an opaque appearance when viewed from an energy-incident excited by light in the visible spectrum. A color, pattern, texture or image of the scattering layer may be rendered according to an individual user's desires, the layers being substantially-transparent to light passing through layers.
