  • Patent number: 12005687
    Abstract: A thin glass substrate, as well as a method and an apparatus are provided. The glass substrate has a glass having first and second main surfaces and elongated elevations on one of the main surfaces. The elevations rise in a normal direction, have a longitudinal extent that is greater than two times a transverse extent, and have a height, on average, that is less than 100 nm, and with a transverse extent of the elevation smaller than 40 mm. The method includes melting a glass, hot forming the glass, and adjusting a viscosity of the glass so that for the viscosity ?1 for a first stretch over a first distance of up to 1.5 m downstream of a flow rate control component and y1 indicating a second distance to a location immediately downstream the flow rate control component the equation lg ?1(y1)/dPa·s=(lg ?01/dPa·s+a1(y1)) applies.

  • Patent number: 11993062
    Abstract: A laminated glass pane is provided that includes a first glass sheet, a polymeric layer having a thickness between at least 0.5 mm and at most 1.7 mm, and a second inner glass sheet which has a thickness of at least 0.3 mm and at most 1.5 mm and is made of a lithium aluminum silicate glass. The polymeric layer is disposed between the at least two glass sheets. Furthermore, the glasses of the first and the second glass sheets are matched so that the temperatures at which the two glasses of the first and second glass sheets have the same viscosity in the viscosity range between 107 dPa·s and 1010 dPa·s differ from each other only by a maximum of 50° C.
