  • Method of forming glass having integral polarizing and non-polarizing regions
    Patent number: 6089042
    Abstract: Method of making polarizing glass having integral polarizing and non-polarizing regions disclosed. The method involves applying a protective glass/frit material capable of blocking reducing gas to the surface of the glass to form a desired pattern, exposing the glass to a reducing gas atmosphere to render unprotected glass polarizing, and removing the protective glass/frit material to reveal underlying non-polarizing regions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 1999
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2000
