Abstract
The invention relates to a substrate comprising a glass sheet (1) having a thickness which is smaller than or equal to 0.1 mm, the glass sheet (1) being provided with a layer of a synthetic resin material (2) having a thickness which is smaller than or equal to that of the glass sheet (1). This substrate proves to be flexible. In addition, the substrate cracks less easily, so that it can be processed more readily. The substrate may be used, for example, in light-emitting devices, such as a poly-LED or PALC.
Claims7
A substrate comprising a glass sheet a main surface of which is provided with a synthetic resin layer, characterized in that the glass sheet has a thickness d which is smaller than or equal to 0.1 mm (d≦0.1 mm), the synthetic resin layer on the main surface of the sheet having a thickness d′ which is smaller than or equal to the thickness of the glass sheet (d′≦d).
A light-emitting device comprising a stack, the stack comprising two substrates and a spacer between which there is a space filled with a gas mixture,
- at least one of the substrates comprising a glass sheet having a main surface provided with a synthetic resin layer,
- the glass sheet having a thickness d smaller than or equal to 0.1 mm (d≦0.1 mm),
- the synthetic resin layer on the main surface of the glass sheet having a thickness d′ smaller than or equal to the thickness of the glass sheet (d′≦d), and
- a central part of the main surface of the sheet being free of the synethetic resin layer.
