    Abstract: An apparatus for producing anti-glare surfaces includes an etching cream dipping tank and a sub-tank arranged to receive a slurry of etching cream. A pumping unit is fluidly coupled to the etching cream dipping tank and the sub-tank such that the pumping unit is operable to selectively self-circulate the slurry of etching cream in the sub-tank to improve homogeneity of the etching cream and transfer a volume of the homogenized etching cream from the sub-tank to the etching cream dipping tank.

    Abstract: Embodiments of an anti-glare article and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the anti-glare article includes a substrate having a surface, and a plurality of features disposed on the surface, wherein about 50% or more of the plurality of features comprise a normalized area in the range from about 0.5 to about 1.5, and the normalized area is defined as the relationship (surface area of a feature/average surface area of all features). In some embodiments, about 90% or more of the features have a surface area of about 100 micrometers or less. The anti-glare article exhibits a PPDr of about 5% or less, a transmission haze of less than about 20% and a DOI of less than about 90%. Methods of forming the substrate are also disclosed and include etching a surface of a substrate with an etchant comprising a water soluble metal ion salt.

    Abstract: A method of making a strengthened article that includes: providing an article comprising a glass, glass-ceramic or ceramic composition with a plurality of ion-exchangeable alkali metal ions, a first primary surface and a second primary surface; forming a SiO2-containing film over the first primary surface, wherein the SiO2-containing film comprises a thickness from about 5 nanometers to about 20 nanometers; forming an anti-glare surface integral with the second primary surface; providing a first ion-exchange bath comprising a plurality of ion-exchanging alkali metal ions, each having a larger size than the size of the ion-exchangeable alkali metal ions; and submersing the article in the first ion-exchange bath at a first ion-exchange temperature and duration to form a strengthened article. Further, the strengthened article comprises a compressive stress region extending from the first primary surface and the second primary surface to first and second selected depths, respectively.
