Glass stack configurations including a carrier plate, setter plates, and glass sheets for thermal treatment of the glass sheets to form glass ceramic articles are provided. The glass stacking configurations and components described herein are selected to improve thermal uniformity throughout a glass stack during ceramming processes while maintaining or even reducing the stresses in the resultant glass ceramic article. Accordingly, the glass ceramic articles made according to the various embodiments described herein exhibit improved optical qualities and less warp than glass ceramic articles made according to conventional processes. Various embodiments of carrier plates, setter plates, parting agent compositions, and methods of stacking glass sheets are described.

Methods of strengthening the edge surfaces of a glass substrate, and particularly glass substrates contained within a display panel, are disclosed. The methods include exposing edges of the display panel to an acid solution for a time and at a temperature effective to remove no more than about 20 micrometers of glass from edge surfaces, rinsing the acid solution from the edge and applying a polymer protective coating the rinsed edge to maintain the post-etching strength of the edge surfaces. Electronics on the display panel that may be exposed to the acid solution are masked with a terminal mask prior to the etching. The edge etching may be combined with etching of a surface of the display panel/cover glass substrate.

A method of glass edge coating includes supplying a coating material to a jetting dispenser. Droplets are jetted from a nozzle of the jetting dispenser. Beads of coating material are deposited on a perimeter edge of the glass article by arranging for the droplets to drop on the perimeter edge after falling through a standoff distance between the nozzle and the perimeter edge, whereafter each bead flows in a plurality of directions on the perimeter edge, thereby forming a coating on the perimeter edge. During the jetting, a relative motion is effected between the nozzle and the perimeter edge such that the beads are deposited at a plurality of locations along the perimeter edge.

A method for manufacturing an optical compensator () on a transitional substrate () comprises applying a first orientation layer () to the transitional substrate. The first orientation layer () is then aligned and a first anisotropic liquid crystal material () is applied on the first orientation layer. In one embodiment, a retardation layer () is located between the transitional substrate () and the first orientation layer ().

A concentrated fine solid particle dispersion useful for forming a substantially photographically transparent magnetic recording layer is disclosed, comprising an organic solvent medium containing a dispersing agent and dispersed magnetic particles, wherein the magnetic particles are present at a concentration of at least 25% by weight and the organic solvent medium is comprised primarily of organic solvent selected from dimethyl succinate, dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl adipate. This invention provides a stable concentrated dispersion of magnetic particles useful for preparing substantially photographically transparent magnetic recording layers. A film-forming binder solution can be added to dilute the concentrated dispersion, which then can be applied to a support to form a transparent magnetic layer for a magnetic recording element. This invention also provides a photographic element which contains a magnetic recording layer which has excellent magnetic characteristics and which is substantially photographically transparent by virtue of its low granularity and optical density.

Transparent film-forming compositions for magnetic recording

The present invention is a photographic element containing a support, at least one light sensitive emulsion layer superposed on the first side of the support, and an outermost lubricant layer superposed on the support. The outermost layer includes more than 80 percent by weight of a composite wax particle. The composite wax particle includes a wax phase and a non-crosslinked polymer phase. The wax phase is greater than 80 percent by weight of a wax which has a melting point of greater than 30&deg; C. In one embodiment the lubricant layer contains a fluoro containing compound. It is envisioned that the lubricant layer overlies a transparent magnetic layer. The total coating weight of the composite wax particle in the lubricant layer is in the range of from 1 to 300 mg/m,. Preferably, the fluoro compound contains at least one type of an ionic group or a nonionic group.
