Abstract:
A method of making a glass article, for example a glass light guide plate comprising at least one structured surface including a plurality of channels and peaks. The glass article may be suitable for enabling one dimensional dimming when used in a backlight unit for use as an illuminator for liquid crystal display devices.
Abstract:
A patterned article and a method of making the patterned article. The patterned article comprises a glass substrate and black matrix segments. The black matrix segments are in the form of a pattern and at least one of the segments has a line width of 8 μm or less. The article also comprises an adhesion agent positioned between the glass substrate and the black matrix segments. The adhesion agent provides at least one of: a total surface energy of 65 mN/m or less and at least a 30% reduction in surface polarity compared to a control untreated glass surface as determined by H2O and diiodomethane contact angle and application of the Wu model.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for treating a glass substrate, comprising bringing a surface of the glass substrate into contact with at least one surface treatment agent for a time sufficient to form a coating comprising the at least one surface treatment agent on at least a portion of the surface. Also disclosed herein are glass substrates comprising at least one surface and a coating on at least a portion of the surface, wherein the coated portion of the surface has a contact angle ranging from about 20 degrees to about 95 degrees, and/or a contact angle greater than about 20 degrees after contact with water, and/or a contact angle less than about 10 degrees after wet or dry cleaning of the glass substrate.
Abstract:
A method of cleaning thin glass substrates comprises applying a sequence of chemical washing steps as the thin glass substrate is being conveyed in a conveyance direction. In addition, surfaces of the glass substrate may be treated to enhance electrostatic discharge properties of the glass substrates.

Abstract:
A protective paper or film and a method of protecting a glass substrate by applying the protective paper or film having a slip agent composition onto a surface of a glass substrate. The slip agent composition comprises at least one fatty alcohol as defined herein.
Abstract:
A display backlight unit is disclosed including a glass substrate with a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, the first major surface coated with at least one of 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane, aminopropyl triethoxysilane, or silanated PMMA, and a plurality of PMMA-containing light extraction dots deposited on the coated first major surface.
Abstract:
Glass substrates comprising an A-side upon which silicon thin film transistor devices can be fabricated and a B-side having a substantially homogeneous organic film thereon are described. The organic film includes a moiety that reduces voltage generation by contact electrification or triboelectrification. Methods of manufacturing the glass substrates and example devices incorporating the glass substrates are also described.
Abstract:
A method for producing a glass article includes forming a glass sheet from a molten glass source and separating the glass article from the glass sheet. During the step of separating the glass article from the glass sheet, the water content of the atmosphere surrounding the glass sheet is controlled to be below a predetermined value. Such control of the water content of the atmosphere surrounding the glass article can effectively reduce the density of particles adhered thereto.
