  • Method of making glass structures for flat panel displays
    Patent number: 6560997
    Abstract: An assembly of rib structures sandwiched between a dielectric glass layer and a glass substrate for use in a flat panel display, such as plasma addressed liquid crystal (PALC) displays, is formed by a number of methods. One method includes molding thermoplastic glass frit containing paste into rib structures, transferring the rib structures to a thin transparent layer of a thermoplastic dielectric glass frit containing composition on a drum, and transferring the rib structures with the thin transparent dielectric glass layer to a glass substrate having metallic electrodes already formed thereon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2003
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated
    Inventors: Jean-Pierre Themont, Jean-Jacques B. Theron
