Abstract: Glass is provided so as to have high visible transmission and/or fairly clear or neutral color. In certain example embodiments, the clear glass includes a low amount of iron coupled with zinc oxide and/or erbium oxide in amounts designed to provide a neutral color. While the erbium oxide is used to provide for neutral color, the zinc oxide binds sulfur into whitish-colored zinc sulfide thereby reducing the amount of sulfur that binds/bonds with iron in the glass to form sulfides of iron which is/are brownish in color. Thus, the use of the zinc oxide helps make the glass more neutral in color. In certain example embodiments, the use of the erbium oxide brings the a* color value of the resulting glass closer to zero, whereas the use of the zinc oxide brings the b* value of the resulting glass closer to zero.

The coloring agents satisfy the relationship, 0.7<(200×NiO) +(5000×Se)+(6×Fe3+)/(875×CoO)+(24×Fe2+)<1.6 in which the NiO, Se, Fe3+, CoO and Fe2+contents are expressed in ppm, Fe3+and Fe2+are the content of ferric iron expressed in the form of Fe2O3 and FeO, respectively. The composition has a redox from 0.28 to 0.5, an overall light transmission under illuminant A (TLA) greater than 65% and a selectivity (SE) of greater than 1.25, when measured for a thickness of 3.85 mm. A window formed from at least one glass sheet produced from the aforementioned composition is also described.

Abstract: The lamp bulb for discharge lamps is made from an aluminosilicate glass with a transformation temperature Tg>600° C. The aluminosilicate glass has a composition (in % by weight, based on oxide content) of SiO2>55-64; Al2O3, 13-18; B2O3, 0-5.5; MgO, 0-7; CaO, 5-14; SrO, 0-8; BaO, 6-17; ZrO2, 0-2; TiO2, 0-5, but may contain small amounts of CeO2 and/or Fe2O3, for anti-solarization and fining agents, such as SnO2, Sb2O3 and/or As2O3. The lamp bulbs for the discharge lamps of the invention may include a melted-in molybdenum electrode and/or an electrode feed or they may be free of any internal electrodes. A method for making the lamp bulbs is also described.

Abstract: Alkali-free glasses are disclosed which can be used to produce substrates for flat panel display devices, e.g., active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs). The glasses contain iron and tin as fining agents, and preferably are substantially free of arsenic and antimony. In certain embodiments, the glasses are also substantially free of barium. Methods for producing alkali-free glass sheets using a downdraw process (e.g., a fusion process) are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates a colored soda-lime glass which comprises iron in a quantity which, expressed in weight of the oxide Fe2O3 in relation to the total weight of glass, is greater than or equal to 0.5%, and less than or equal to 1.0 % (quantity of total iron), a ratio of Fe2+/total Fe (redox ratio) in the range of between 20 and 65 % and titanium in a quantity which, expressed in weight of TiO2 in relation to the total weight of glass, is greater than or equal to 1.0 %. This glass has a light transmission (TLA4) in the range of between 15 and 55 %, a total transmission in the ultraviolet (TUV4) of less than or equal to 30%, and a dominant wavelength in transmission ?D of less than or equal to 491 nm. This glass can be used, for example, as side glazing, rear-view window, roof glazing or opening roof of a motor vehicle.
