  • Method of patterned eroding of a coating provided on a substrate
    Patent number: 5910396
    Abstract: In a method in which a top coating (2) on a relatively hard substrate (1) is patterned by means of a stream of kinetic particles while being masked by a mask (3), the substrate (1) is coated with a damping layer (4) of a ductile material before the top coating (2) is provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 1998
    Date of Patent: June 8, 1999
    Assignee: U.S. Philips Corporation
    Inventors: Jacobus M. Dings, Remko Horne, Gerardus N. A. Van Veen
  • Method of providing a pattern of apertures and/or cavities in a plate or layer of non-metallic material
    Patent number: 5804009
    Abstract: After a plate or layer of non-metallic, particularly hard and brittle material has been provided with a (metal) mask having a plurality of apertures arranged in a pattern, it is exposed to at least one jet of abrasive powder particles, which jet is moved relative to the plate. The mask has its surface facing the surface on which the jet impinges secured to the plate or layer of non-metallic material by means of a layer of adhesive material having a thickness which is smaller than the size of the abrasive powder particles.

  • Method of patterned eroding of a coating provided on a substrate
    Patent number: 5789853
    Abstract: A flat-panel display device comprising a substrate, a patterned layer and an absorbing layer, the absorbing layer interposed between the substrate and the patterned layer, the patterned layer being formed of a material having a rate of erosion greater than the rate of erosion of the substrate under powder spraying, and the absorbing layer being of a material capable of absorbing the kinetic energy of particles comprising a powder spray.
