Abstract: A method of manufacturing glass parts for connection of glass fibers is provided, which can improve the accuracy of the cross-sectional size of a through hole in the glass part. A mother glass having a similar cross section to a desired cross section of a glass part having a through hole is prepared, and the prepared mother glass is drawn while it is heated. The mother glass is made of a glass having a maximum devitrification speed of 100 ?m or less per minute.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical glass element for which flatness and smoothness of the surfaces of the optical glass element can be improved while securing the similarity of the cross-sectional shape of the optical glass element to that of the mother glass, and for which continuous production involving few steps can be carried out, and an optical glass element manufactured using the method. A mother glass is prepared, which has a cross-sectional shape substantially similar to a desired cross-sectional shape of the optical glass element, and the mother glass is drawn while heating to a predetermined temperature such that the mother glass has a viscosity of 105 to 109 poise.

Abstract: There are provided a method of manufacturing a glass part for connecting optical fibers, which allows insertion of optical fibers into the internal hole of the glass part smoothly, and glass parts for connecting optical fibers manufactured using the method. Predetermined parts of a glass tube having an internal hole are heated while pressure is applied into the internal hole, to expand the predetermined parts, thus forming tapered portions. As a result, a continuous curved surface can be achieved at the boundary between each tapered portion of each obtained glass part and the internal hole thereof, and the surface can be made smooth where the tapers are formed.

Abstract: A glass spacer for an electron-beam emitting display device is composed of non alkaline glass having almost the same linear expansion coefficient as that of soda-lime-silica glass. The glass includes SiO2 with 10 to 35 percent by mass, RO, in which “R” refers to an alkaline earth metal, with 20 to 60 percent by mass, B2O3 with 9 to 30 percent by mass and Al2O3 with 0 to 10 percent by mass, and which is substantially free of alkali. The linear expansion coefficient of the glass spacer is in a range from 76×10−7/° C. to 92×10−7/° C. The glass spacer may further include La2O3 with 0 to 30 percent by mass, ZnO with 0 to 8 percent by mass and TiO2 with 0 to 5 percent by mass.

Abstract: A glass substrate for a front filter of a display device having considerable strength and excellent display quality, and being lightweight is provided. A display device employing this display filter substrate is provided. The glass substrate has one or more of electromagnetic-wave shielding function, near infrared ray blocking function, and anti-reflection function. The glass substrate has a thickness of 1.8-3.2 mm, an average surface compressive stress of 20-70 MPa, and a warp ratio of the glass substrate of 1.0% or less. The surface compressive stress is applied by an air blast cooling process or a chemical reinforcing process. The filter substrate is disposed over a front surface of the display device.
