A method of manufacturing large lens arrays from glass includes heating glass to take a form of a glass sheet of viscous liquid glass floating on liquid metal. Large lens arrays are made by the method and devices and systems are used for making the large lens arrays. The glass sheet has a lower surface in contact with the liquid metal and an upper surface on an opposite side of the glass sheet away from the liquid metal. The method applies a gas flow on the upper surface of the glass sheet to cause the upper surface of the glass sheet to form a pattern of convex lenses in response to local variations in a pressure profile of the gas flow; and cooling the glass sheet to solidify into a rigid, patterned glass sheet.

Provided are improved slurry compositions useful in the CMP polishing of glass and other dielectric materials. In one aspect, the compositions of the invention are comprised of water; silica abrasive; a cationic surfactant; and ceria abrasive. The compositions effect a high removal rate while limiting the number of scratches typically observed when utilizing ceria alone.

The area of a spacer that is to be provided between the adjacent substrates in a laminate including a plurality of substrates to keep the adjacent substrates apart from each other is smaller than those of the stacked substrates. When pressure is released to bring the laminate obtained by providing the spacers between the substrates from a pressed state in which 0.60 MPa of pressure is applied to the laminate in the stacking direction into a non-pressed state, an amount of change ΔW in thickness per spacer that is calculated from a change in the thickness of the laminate due to the release of pressure is 30 μm or less.

The disclosure provides textured glass components as well as electronic device cover assemblies and enclosures which include the textured glass components. In some cases, a protruding portion of the glass component includes a textured region provided over a camera assembly of the electronic device. One or more openings may be provided in the textured region. The textured region may be configured to provide a translucent or hazy appearance to the electronic device while providing a desirable “feel” to the electronic device and level of cleanability.

A glass structure includes: a glass substrate that includes a thick portion and a thin portion thinner than the thick portion; and a filler that covers a step surface formed by difference in height between the thick portion and the thin portion. A refractive index difference at a wavelength of 555 nm between the glass substrate and the filler is 0.008 or less in an absolute value. A refractive index difference at a wavelength of 507 nm between the glass substrate and the filler is 0.008 or less in an absolute value.
