Laser cutting of display glass compositions

A method of laser processing an alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece, the method comprising:

• focusing a pulsed laser beam provided by a pulsed laser into a laser beam focal line oriented along the beam propagation direction and is directed into the alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece, the laser beam focal line generating an induced absorption within the material of the alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece, and the induced absorption producing a defect line along the laser beam focal line within the alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece;
• and
• translating the alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece and the laser beam relative to each other along a contour, thereby laser forming a plurality of defect lines along the contour within the alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece, wherein a periodicity between adjacent defect lines is between 0.1 micron and 20 microns, wherein the alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass composite workpiece is in the form of a glass sheet, and wherein focusing the pulsed laser beam and translating the workpiece and the laser beam relative to each other along the contour are performed with the glass sheet at an online draw, wherein the glass sheet comprises at least two layers having at least two different respective annealing temperatures, and wherein focusing and translating are performed with the glass sheet at a temperature between the at least two different respective annealing temperatures.
