  • Patent number: 11851363
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an ultra-thin glass substrate includes: providing a glass base material preset with n substrate areas and a skeleton area surrounding the substrate areas; at least forming an etching protection layer on an upper surface and a lower surface of each substrate area of the glass base material, respectively; at least etching the skeleton area of the glass base material to separate the substrate areas from the glass base material, and form a stress dissipation edge along an edge of each substrate area; and removing the etching protection layer to get independent glass substrates. A method for manufacturing a display panel is also disclosed. An aim is to prevent quality of the ultra-thin glass substrate from damage caused by scribing wheel cutting or laser cutting, therefore the quality of the ultra-thin glass substrate is improved.

  • Publication number: 20230406757
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing ultra-thin glass substrates and a method for manufacturing a display panel are provided, including: providing a glass base material preset with n substrate areas and a skeleton area surrounding the substrate areas, wherein n is greater than or equal to 1; at least forming an etching protection layer, wherein, each etching protection layer includes a main area and at least one thinned area extending along a preset bending path; at least etching the skeleton area of the glass base material to separate the substrate areas from the glass base material, forming at least one bending stress dissipation groove, and forming a stress dissipation edge along an edge of each substrate area; removing the etching protection layer to get independent glass substrates having the bending stress dissipation groove. The method improves bending performance along the preset bending path.

  • Publication number: 20230391661
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing ultra-thin glass substrates and a method for manufacturing a display panel are provided. The method for manufacturing ultra-thin glass substrates includes: providing a glass base material preset with n substrate areas and a skeleton area surrounding the substrate areas; at least forming an etching protection layer on each substrate area of the glass base material; immersing the glass base material in a reaction chamber having etching medium; after the edge of each substrate area is etched to form the stress dissipation edge and the substrate areas are separated from the glass base material, the substrate areas falling down by gravity and falling into the basket; pulling the basket out of the reaction chamber to get the substrate areas separated from the glass base material; removing the etching protection layer to get independent glass substrates.
