    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and apparatus are provided for predicting/estimating (i) a non-equilibrium viscosity for at least one given time point in a given temperature profile for a given glass composition, (ii) at least one temperature profile that will provide a given non-equilibrium viscosity for a given glass composition, or (iii) at least one glass composition that will provide a given non-equilibrium viscosity for a given time point in a given temperature profile. The methods and apparatus can be used to predict/estimate stress relaxation in a glass article during forming as well as compaction, stress relaxation, and/or thermal sag or thermal creep of a glass article when the article is subjected to one or more post-forming thermal treatments.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are backlight units comprising a light guide plate (210), a light coupling unit (220) in contact with the light guide plate, and a light source (230) optically coupled to the first and second light incident edge surfaces. The backlight units may also comprise light recycling cavities by forming a reflector (240) on the edge surface (224) of the coupling unit opposing the incidence surface (221). Electronic, display, and lighting devices comprising such BLUs are further disclosed herein.
