  • Publication number: 20120135847
    Abstract: A method for cutting a brittle-material substrate by irradiating a converged laser beam on a brittle-material substrate along first and second cutting lines intersecting each other at least at one point, includes forming scribe lines along the first and the second cutting lines on a surface of the brittle-material substrate, and relatively moving an irradiation position of the laser beam on the surface of the brittle-material substrate along the scribe lines to cut the brittle-material substrate at a forward position of the irradiation position in the moving direction of the irradiation position. The irradiation of the laser beam is limited in a region in the vicinity of an intersection where the first and the second cutting lines intersect.

  • Patent number: 6003337
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a sheet glass includes pouring a molten glass into a bathtub containing a molten metal so that it will form a molten glass stream having a constant width in a high temperature zone on the molten metal bath. The molten glass stream in the form of a ribbon having a desired thickness is led into a subsequent shaping zone, wherein, in the high temperature zone, the molten metal level in the vicinity of the edge of the molten glass stream is differentiated from the molten metal level at the center of the glass stream to complement a force of the molten glass stream for expanding or contracting in the width direction and thereby to maintain the edge at a predetermined position.
