Apparatus and methods for processing a glass sheet can include a coating chamber including a dispensing port to dispense a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a fog chamber including an enclosure, a fog generator to provide fog to the enclosure, and a passage in the enclosure from which fog can exit the enclosure to contact a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments a method can include providing a glass sheet to a coating chamber, and dispensing a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, a method can include providing a glass sheet to a fog chamber, providing fog to an enclosure of the fog chamber, and contacting a major surface of the glass sheet with the fog by passing the fog from the enclosure through a passage in the enclosure.

The present disclosure relates to a decorative panel made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular, for large stationary household appliances. The decorative panel comprises a base body made of thermally tempered flat glass with an operational front and an operational back and has at least one digital print on the operational back.

Glass-based articles have a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t) and a center between the first surface and the second surface, the glass-based article containing Li.sub.2O, ion-exchanged potassium and ion-exchanged sodium. The glass-based article has a stress profile including a hump stress region extending from the first surface (or a point below the first surface) to an apex in a range of 0.001.Math.t and 0.1t. Compressive stress at the apex is from 25 to 750 MPa. The hump region comprises an area of increasing stress and an area of decreasing stress. Depth of compression is from 0.1.Math.t to 0.25.Math.t. A tensile stress region extends from the depth of compression to a maximum tensile stress.

A decoating method for the edge decoating of glass sheets, the glass sheets having at least on one of their two glass surfaces a protective coating in the form of a peel-off protective film or in the form of a polymer protective layer that cannot be peeled off, and preferably having a functional coating situated under the protective coating, the protective film being partially mechanically removed, in particular ground away, for the edge decoating, in the form of at least one film strip, laser traces being introduced into the protective film before the mechanical removal of the film strip, and the laser traces being introduced in such a way that the film strip is removed in the form of individual film strip partial pieces separated from one another by the laser traces; or the polymer protective layer being removed using laser radiation.

Cleaning machine (20) of glass articles (G), comprising: a support (21) for supporting a glass article (G); and a heating device (22, 25) located in the vicinity of the support (21), at a distance therefrom, and configured to emit a heat flow (F, H) in the direction of a surface (G1) of the glass article (G) supported by the support (21).

A glass wafer having a first major surface, a second major surface that is parallel to and opposite of the first major surface, a thickness between the first major surface and the second major surface, and an annular edge portion that extends from an outermost diameter of the glass wafer toward the geometrical center of the glass wafer. The glass wafer has a diameter from greater than or equal to 175 mm to less than or equal to 325 mm and a thickness of less than 0.350 mm. A width of the edge portion is less than 10 mm.

A glass screen protector manufacturing method of a progressive non-through hole glass screen protector includes the steps of cutting a glass screen protector pattern; CNC machining the glass screen protector for a side edge, a progressive sensing area, and a desired hole position thereof; polishing the glass screen protector; reinforcing the glass screen protector; coating the glass screen protector with a nano coating; and gluing a backing to the glass screen protector.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a glass member having a flat portion and a side portion extending from an edge of the flat portion in at least a partially slanted or curved manner. The side portion includes a first curved portion extending from the flat portion, a second curved portion extending from the first curved portion and connected to the flat portion through the first curved portion, and at least one processing portion formed by at least a part of a border region between the first curved portion and the second curved portion. The at least one processing portion has a different refractive index from at least another portion of the side portion.

An adsorbing apparatus for a glass wafer includes an adsorbing head and a block structure mounted to the adsorbing head. The adsorbing head defines a cavity and an opening directly touching a glass wafer. The block structure defines a channel connected with the cavity. A plurality of supporting posts for supporting the glass wafer are densely arranged in the cavity. The adsorbing apparatus as a transfer tool for a glass wafer, which can transport unmolded wafer to the mold for molding, and can remove the glass wafer before fully executing cool down, thereby avoiding many adverse effects in the glass wafer forming process and shortening production time and improving production efficiency.

Disclosed is a process for producing a film-coated substrate having a relatively flat distribution of film thickness such that the film thickness is suppressed from gradually increasing toward a downstream side of flow of a coating liquid even when a coating film is formed on a plate-shaped substrate by a flow coating method in which the substrate is held in raised attitude. The film-coated substrate according to the present invention is employed in particular as an openable/closable window glass of an automotive door, and is suitable for one where the substrate includes an uncoated region where no coating film is formed, wherein the uncoated region is configured to be received in a receiving part of an upper frame of the door.
