Abstract: A glass component for television sets. A permanent coded information can be applied during the manufacturing process of the glass component so that a non-functional surface of the glass component has binary coded information to give an information surface, whereby the coded information with “1” binary elements is presented in a multi-line and single-line or multi-digit arrangement and the “1” binary elements are arranged in the direction of molding of the component, or are applied to a partial surface so that the above are generated automatically in the form of a unitary symbol as a recess or projection on the information surface, during the imaging process from tool to the glass component. With a device, with the correspondingly selected information surface and orientation and inversion of the symbols, the coded information may be generated in the same working process as the production of the glass component.
