An image generating device comprises a light source producing a light beam and a screen (5) traversed by the light beam and designed to modify the light beam so as to form an image. The screen (5) comprises a transparent element (150) traversed by the light beam and designed to evacuate the heat generated at the level of the screen (5). Said transparent element (150) is made of sintered transparent ceramic. Also described are a head-up display comprising such a device, and a method for manufacturing an image generating device.

A technical object of the present invention is to devise a method by which bonding strength between an element base and a sealing material layer can be increased without thermal degradation of a member to be housed inside, to thereby improve long-term reliability of a hermetic package. A method of producing a hermetic package of the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a ceramic base and forming a sealing material layer on the ceramic base; preparing a glass substrate and arranging the ceramic base and the glass substrate so that the glass substrate is brought into contact with the sealing material layer on the ceramic base; and irradiating the sealing material layer with laser light from a glass substrate side to seal the ceramic base and the glass substrate with each other through intermediation of the sealing material layer, to thereby provide a hermetic packages.

An at least partially crystallized glass includes at least one crystal phase and pores which are distributed in the at least partially crystallized glass in a structured manner.

An improved method for embedding one or more sensors in SiC is provided. The method includes depositing a binder onto successive layers of a SiC powder feedstock to produce a dimensionally stable green body have a true-sized cavity. A sensor component is then press-fit into the true-sized cavity. Alternatively, the green body is printed around the sensor component. The assembly (the green body and the sensor component) is heated within a chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) chamber for debinding, and a precursor gas is introduced for densifying the SiC matrix material. During infiltration, the sensor component becomes bonded to the densified SiC matrix, the sensor component being selected to be thermodynamically compatible with CVI byproducts at elevated temperatures, including temperatures in excess of 1000? C.

A multilayer ceramic substrate that includes a surface layer portion positioned on an internal layer portion, and a surface layer electrode on a surface of the surface layer portion. The surface layer portion includes a first layer next to the internal layer portion, and the internal layer portion includes a second layer next to the first layer. The thermal expansion coefficient of the first layer is lower than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second layer. The first layer and the second layer each contain glass containing 40 weight % to 65 weight % of MO, where MO is at least one selected from CaO, MgO, SrO, and/or BaO); 35 weight % to 60 weight % of alumina, and 1 weight % to 10 weight % of at least one metal oxide selected from CuO and/or Ag.sub.2O.

The invention relates to a transparent composite material for various applications, having crystalline and amorphous inorganic materials with improved material properties.
