  • Patent number: 11773006
    Abstract: A method of making a glass includes batching constituents, including silica, alumina, boria, magnesia, quicklime, and strontia, where one or more of the constituents is from “dirty” raw material that includes a relatively large amount of sulfur. The method further includes melting and mixing the batch to make glass having sulfur content but free of blisters, suitable for high performance displays.

  • Publication number: 20230295038
    Abstract: A laminated glass article comprises a core layer comprising a core glass composition, and a cladding layer directly adjacent to the core layer and comprising a clad glass composition. A stress of the cladding layer increases with increasing distance from an outer surface of the cladding layer from a compressive stress to a tensile stress, transitions to a compressive stress as a step-change at an interface region between the core layer and the cladding layer, and increases with increasing distance from the interface region to a center of the core layer from the compressive stress to a tensile stress.

  • Patent number: 11708296
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to glass compositions with high coefficients of thermal expansion and low fracture toughness designed for thermal tempering. These glasses are ideally suited to produce a “dicing” pattern when thermally tempered, even when thin (<3 mm). Disclosed glasses have high thermal expansions at low and high temperatures to produce increased temper stresses once quenched, coupled with low fracture toughness which promotes crack bifurcation and enhanced frangibility. Methods of making such glasses are also provided.
