The elements for the alkaline earth metal are comprise one or more elements out of the elements calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr) and barium (Ba) and at least contain barium. The elements for the alkali metal include at least one or more of sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Cs). When the element vanadium is included as vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), the vanadium pentoxide content is 40-70 wt %. Thus, a glass composition for aluminum electrode wiring with an apparent work function for electrode wiring that is smaller than the work function for aluminum (Al) can be provided without the inclusion of lead.

  • Patent number: 8309784
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a glass frit for the containment by vitrification of a material comprising at least one oxidizable or reducible chemical species, and also to a process for the containment of said material by vitrification. The process for the manufacture of the glass frit comprises a step of incorporating into a raw glass frit at least one redox couple, the nature and the amount of which make it possible to maintain said at least one chemical species in its oxidized or reduced state. The containment process comprises mixing and hot melting the resulting glass frit and the material to be contained. The present invention makes it possible to optimize the containment of pollutants such as radionucleides, metals and metalloids. The material may be nuclear waste or a material derived from the incineration of household refuse.

  • Patent number: 8198203
    Abstract: 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.
