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.

High-strength laminated sheet for optical applications

A color filter for an AMLCD panel has a pattern of multi-color dots, each dot having red, green, and blue components in a black matrix. Each component is the cured product of a color pigment dispersed in a radiation-curable ink. The ink may be an ink curable by a cationic mechanism, a free-radical ink, or a hybrid, free-radical/cationic ink. The filter is produced by successively applying patterns of colored inks to a transfer roll, collecting the patterns on a collector roll to form an array of multi-color dots that is transferred to the substrate, and irradiating the array of dots to at least partially cure the inks.

Method for printing a color filter with radiation curable inks

A method of improving adherence of a metal film deposited directly on a silicate glass substrate for a display panel. The method comprises chemically treating the surface of the glass to alter its surface characteristics and thereby improve adhesion robustness of the metal film to the glass surface. In a specific embodiment the surface is treated with a mixed solution of hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acid.

Adhering metal to glass

The invention relates to methods and apparatus useful for making color filters for liquid crystal display panels. A multicolored ink pattern is deposited to a substrate while in a deformable state, flattened during the deposition process, and the deformed, more uniform shape of the printed dot is thereafter retained, preferably by curing during deposition. The transfer layer is preferably formed on a collector roll. A plurality of colored ink patterns is then transferred to the collector roll, preferably from a single pattern roll having multiple patterns thereon, to form the multicolor image that will become the color filter. This multicolored image is then transferred to the substrate.

Method of printing a color filter

A method for precompacting glass sheets for use in flat panel displays, particularly those which utilize polycrystalline silicon. The glass is exposed to a temperature and pressure and for a period of time sufficient to precompact the glass sheet an amount necessary to make the glass sheet suitable for use in a flat panel display which uses polysilicon.

A method for producing sodium-containing glasses, by a vapor deposition process wherein a vapor mixture containing a sodium fluoroalkoxide compound is reacted to provide a particulate sodium-containing vapor deposition product which can be sintered to a glass.

Method for making sodium-containing glass

A vapor phase method for the synthesis of MgO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 products, including MgO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 glasses of optical quality, wherein SiCl.sub.4, aluminum halide, and organometallic magnesium vapors are oxidized by flame oxidation and the oxides collected and sintered to glass or ceramic products, is described. A added shield gas stream is provided during flame oxidation of the vapors to reduce or prevent MgCl.sub.2 by-product formation at the burner and in the product.
