Abstract
Glass compositions suitable for the manufacture of sheet glass for liquid crystal display (LCD) devices are disclosed, such glasses consisting essentially, in cation percent, of about 52-58% SiO.sub.2, 12.5-18% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 20-23% B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0-4% MgO, 0-6% CaO, 0-6% SrO, 1-9% BaO, 8-12% MgO+CaO+Sro+BaO, -3% ZnO, and 0-1% of fining agents. These glasses have a strain point in excess of 625.degree. C., an average linear coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of about 20-60.times.10.sup.-7 /.degree.C. over the range 25.degree.-300.degree. C., an internal liquidus temperature not exceeding about 1050.degree. C., and chemical durability sufficient to exhibit a weight loss in 5% HCl at 95.degree. C. not exceeding about 10 mg/cm.sup.2 in a 24 hour period, and so offer the glass stability necessary for overflow downdraw sheet forming and the high strain point and chemical durability needed for LCD manufacture.
