Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a laminated glass article having a first clad layer, a second clad layer, and a core layer between the first clad layer and the second clad layer, by exposing an edge of the core layer. An etchant can be applied to the edge of the laminated glass article to form the recess. The recess can then be filled.
Abstract:
A method for forming a plurality of precision holes in a substrate by drilling, including affixing a sacrificial cover layer to a surface of the substrate, positioning a laser beam in a predetermined location relative to the substrate and corresponding to a desired location of one of the plurality of precision holes, forming a through hole in the sacrificial cover layer by repeatedly pulsing a laser beam at the predetermined location, and pulsing the laser beam into the through hole formed in the sacrificial cover layer. A work piece having precision holes including a substrate having the precision holes formed therein, wherein a longitudinal axis of each precision hole extends in a thickness direction of the substrate, and a sacrificial cover layer detachably affixed to a surface of the substrate, such that the sacrificial cover layer reduces irregularities of the precision holes.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a method for coating the edge of glass articles. The shaped edge of a glass article is inserted into the slot of a coating apparatus. The coating apparatus includes a vessel containing a UV curable coating material, an element connected to the vessel having the slot, wherein the slot is shaped to receive an edge of the glass article; and a coating pad having a coating surface shaped to conform to the shaped edge of the glass article, the pad having a network of interconnected openings therethrough, wherein the coating pad extends from the vessel and into the element so that the coating surface forms a bottom surface of the slot. An ultraviolet (UV) curable coating material is supplied to the coating pad and the shaped edge is contacted with the coating pad surface to transfer a selected thickness of the coating material from the coating pad to the shaped edge. The UV curable coating material is then cured on the shaped glass edge.

Abstract:
A method for printing ink on a substrate comprising the steps of coating a glass substrate with an adhesion promoter, depositing one or more layers of ink on the coated substrate, and laminating the imaged substrate. The substrate can be a glass substrate, and the adhesion promoter can include a silane material, powder coating, organophosphate primer suspended in isopropanol.
Abstract:
An electronic device assembly includes a backplane having a glass composition substantially free of alkali ions, an elastic modulus of about 40 GPa to about 100 GPa, and a final thickness from about 20 μm to about 100 μm. The primary surfaces of the backplane are characterized by a prior material removal to the final thickness from an initial thickness that is at least 20 μm greater than the final thickness. The assembly also includes a protect layer on the first primary surface of the backplane; and a plurality of electronic components on the second primary surface of the backplane. In addition, the backplane is configured with at least one static bend having a bend radius between about 25 mm and about 5 mm. The electronic components of the electronic device assembly can include at least one thin film transistor (TFT) element or organic light emitting diode (OLED) element.
Abstract:
Light diffusing optical fibers for use in illumination applications and which have a uniform color gradient that is angularly independent are disclosed herein along with methods for making such fibers. The light diffusing fibers are composed of a silica-based glass core that is coated with a number of layers including both a scattering layer and a phosphor layer.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus to treat a dried unfired article comprising a ceramic precursor composition substantially held together by a binder, to be resistant to binder soluble solvent based processing. The method includes depositing a fluid on the article surface, and polymerizing the deposited fluid to form a polymer thin layer on the surface. The fluid may be an aerosol, a vapor, a fog, a mist, a smoke, or combinations thereof. An apparatus to perform the method and an article resistant to binder soluble solvent based processing are also provided. The article can be an unfired honeycomb body that includes a dried composition of ceramic precursor substantially held together by a binder and a layer disposed on a surface of the unfired honeycomb body. The surface to be exposed in the green state to a binder soluble solvent and the layer protects the binder from solubilization by the solvent.
