Publication number: 20160122564Abstract: A method of printing a decoration on a substrate includes applying an ink coating in a predetermined design on the substrate by inkjet printing. The ink coating is cured to form a cured ink coating, and a portion of the cured ink coating is trimmed. Residual ink particles generated by the trimming are cleaned off the substrate. A printed substrate includes a substrate and a decoration printed on the substrate. The decoration comprises at least one layer of an inkjet-printed ink coating free of a saw edge and having a thickness in a range from 1.5 ?m to 5 ?m.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2016Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Tzu-Han Chen, Christopher Morton Lee, Yongsheng Yan

Patent number: 8312739Abstract: A method of chemically strengthening a glass. The method includes ion exchange of the glass in a first bath, followed by immersion in the second bath. The first bath is diluted with an effluent ion. The second bath has a smaller concentration of the effluent ion than the first bath. The method provides a compressive stress at the surface of the glass that is sufficient to arrest flaws introduced by contact forces at the surface of the glass while having sufficiently deep compressive depth-of-layer for high reliability.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Morton Lee, Lawrence George Mann, Jose Mario Quintal, Yongsheng Yan
