Abstract
Glasses are disclosed which are used to produce substrates in flat panel display devices. The glasses exhibit a density less than about 2.45 gm/cm3 and a liquidus viscosity greater than about 200,000 poises, the glass consisting essentially of the following composition, expressed in terms of mol percent on an oxide basis: 65-75 SiO2, 7-13 Al2O3, 5-15 B2O3, 0-3 MgO, 5-15 CaO, 0-5 SrO, and essentially free of BaO. The glasses also exhibit a strain point exceeding 650° C.
Claims26
An aluminosilicate glass exhibiting a density less than about 2.45 g/cm3 and a liquidus viscosity greater than about 200,000 poises, the glass consisting essentially of the following composition as calculated in mol percent on an oxide basis:
- 65-75 SiO2, 7-13 Al2O3, 5-15 B2O3, 0-3 MgO, 5-15 CaO, 0-5 SrO, and essentially free of BaO, wherein:
- (a) the RO/Al2O3 ratio is between 0.92 and 0.96, wherein R represents Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba;
- and
- (b) the glass has a linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) over the temperature range 0-300° C. between 28-33×10−7/° C.
A substrate for a flat panel display device, wherein the substrate is comprised of a flat, transparent glass exhibiting a density less than about 2.40 g/cm3, a linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) over the temperature range 0-300° C. between 28-33×10−7/° C. and having a liquidus viscosity greater than about 400,000 poises, the glass consisting essentially of the following composition as calculated in mol percent on an oxide basis:
- 65-75 SiO2, 7-13 Al2O3, 5-15 B2O3, 0-3 MgO, 5-15 CaO, 0-5 SrO, and essentially free of BaO and the RO/Al2O3 ratio is 0.92-0.96, wherein R represents Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba.
