Abstract:
The invention is directed to glass articles having improved resistance to edge fracture resulting from armoring the edges using metallic material adhesively bonded to the edges of the glass article. In one embodiment the metallic edge material is machinable to enable final finish of the part to specification tolerances. One of a plurality of layers of the metallic material can be adhesively applied to edge. The glass articles have a selected length, selected width and selected thickness, and the metallic/adhesive edge protecting composite is applied to less than or equal to the thickness of the glass such that the protecting composite does not contact the surfaces of the glass.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a substrate product for use in the manufacture of active matrix liquid crystal display panels. The product includes a display substrate suitable for use as a display panel. The display substrate has a thickness less than or equal to 0.4mm, a composition that is substantially alkali free, and a surface smoothness that allows the direct formation of thin-film transistors thereon without a prior processing step of polishing and/or grinding. The product also includes at least one support substrate removably attached to the display substrate.
Abstract:
A laminated sheet includes a surface layer having an optical surface that is of fire-polished quality and a core layer having a higher modulus than the surface layer to increase an overall stiffness or fracture toughness of the laminated sheet.
