Patent number: 9878938Abstract: An antimony-free glass suitable for use in a frit for producing a hermetically sealed glass package is described. The hermetically sealed glass package, such as an OLED display device, is manufactured by providing a first glass substrate plate and a second glass substrate plate and depositing the antimony-free frit onto the first substrate plate. OLEDs may be deposited on the second glass substrate plate. An irradiation source (e.g., laser, infrared light) is then used to heat the frit which melts and forms a hermetic seal that connects the first glass substrate plate to the second glass substrate plate and also protects the OLEDs. The antimony-free glass has excellent aqueous durability, good flow, low glass transition temperature and low coefficient of thermal expansion.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Melinda Ann Drake, Robert Michael Morena

Patent number: 9870842Abstract: Rapidly curable electrically conductive clear coatings are applied to substrates. The electrically conductive clear coating includes to clear layer having a resinous binder with ultrafine non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide particles dispersed therein. The clear coating may be rapidly cured by subjecting the coating to infrared radiation that heats the tungsten oxide particles and surrounding resinous binder. Localized heating increases the temperature of the coating to thereby thermally cure the coating, while avoiding unwanted heating of the underlying substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: PPG industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Mark P. Bowman, Lawrence G. Anderson, Gordon L. Post
