  • Methods for forming fritted cover sheets and glass packages comprising the same
    Patent number: 8505337
    Abstract: A method for forming a fritted cover sheet includes providing a substrate and depositing an initial frit bead on the substrate. Thereafter, at least one additional frit bead is deposited on the substrate such that a base of the at least one additional frit bead contacts a base of an adjacent frit bead thereby forming a frit seal on the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2013
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated
    Inventors: Edward J. Sever, Brian P. Strines, Michael D. Burgess
  • Method for assembling an optoelectronic device
    Patent number: 8246867
    Abstract: Methods for assembling an optoelectronic device are provided. The optoelectronic device includes a first transparent substrate, a second substrate, and environmentally sensitive components. The methods comprise the step of applying a fill material to a surface of at least one of the substrates, and lowering a viscosity of the fill material. The methods further comprise the step of pressing the first transparent substrate and the second substrate together such that the fill material substantially fills an area between the first transparent substrate and the second substrate and substantially encapsulates exposed portions of the environmentally sensitive components. The methods still further comprise the step of sealing the first transparent substrate and the second substrate together to hermetically seal the fill material within the area.

  • METHODS FOR FORMING FRITTED COVER SHEETS AND GLASS PACKAGES COMPRISING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110014427
    Abstract: A method for forming a fritted cover sheet includes providing a substrate and depositing an initial frit bead on the substrate. Thereafter, at least one additional frit bead is deposited on the substrate such that a base of the at least one additional frit head contacts a base of an adjacent frit bead thereby forming a frit seal on the substrate.
