In a method of manufacturing a display device, the method includes: forming a patterning film on a back surface of a glass; patterning the patterning film to expose a bending area of the glass; forming a groove overlapping the bending area on a back surface of the glass by providing abrasive particles to the exposed glass; forming an acid-resistant film on a front surface of the glass; and etching the glass.

A sensitized, photo-structurable glasses and methods for producing are provided. The glasses includes Si.sup.4+, one or more crystal-agonist, one or more crystal-antagonist, and one or more pair of nucleating agents. The glasses are sensitized in that the glass reacts more sensitive to irradiation with UV-light and can be crystallized easier and with higher aspect ratios than a non-sensitized glass with equal composition. Furthermore, the sensitized glasses of this invention have smaller crystal sizes after irradiation and tempering than a non-sensitized glass with equal composition. The invention also relates to a structured glass product. Such product can be obtained by submitting the crystallized glass product to a subsequent etching step. The structured product can be used in components or as component for the application fields micro-technology, micro-reaction-technology, electronic packaging, micro-fluidics, FED spacer, bio-technology, interposer, and/or three-dimensional structured antennae.

A glass lining that has an excellent balance between a hydrophilic property and a hydrophobic property on its surface, that has less adhesion of dirt than a typical GL since having an excellent stain-proof property against both oily stains and aqueous stains, and that can maintain the stain-proof property and the self-cleaning performance for a long time after the glass lining is cleaned, leading to excellent cleaning performance and low dirt-adhesion. The glass lining includes a lining and a conductive inorganic compound contained in the lining. The glass lining is structured to have a plurality of hydrophilic concave portions and net-like hydrophobic convex portions connecting peripheries of the plurality of hydrophilic concave portions.

A method of UV photobleaching a glass sample having UV-induced colorization is disclosed. The processed includes first irradiating the glass sample with colorizing UV radiation having a colorizing wavelength of .sub.C<300 nm to form the colorized glass, which has a pink hue. The method then includes irradiating the colorized glass with bleaching UV radiation having a bleaching wavelength of .sub.B, wherein 248 nm.sub.B365 nm, to substantially remove the pink hue.

A method for forming a glass article and the corresponding glass article are provided. The method for forming a glass article includes providing a glass substrate sheet, and translating a pulsed laser beam on the glass substrate sheet. The pulsed laser forms a laser damage region extending from first surface of the glass substrate sheet a mid-point of the glass substrate sheet. The method further includes contacting the glass substrate sheet with an etchant solution to form channels at the laser damage region, the channels having width and depth dimensions of less than 150 m. The glass article includes a first surface, a second surface, a channel extending from the first surface to point between the first surface and the second surface. The channel has width and height dimensions less than about 150 m.

A method for forming a glass composite includes: providing a first glass member and a second glass member; activating at least a part of a surface of the first glass member to form a first activated surface, with unsaturated chemical bonds formed on the first activated surface of the first glass member; activating at least a part of a surface of the second glass member to form a second activated surface, with unsaturated chemical bonds on the second activated surface of the second glass member; and connecting at least partially the first glass member and the second glass member with each other on a contact interface at a contacting position of the first glass member and the second glass member to form the glass composite.

The invention involves a childproof jar that suitable for medicinal items such as tablets, medication or other consumables that may be desirably restricted from children. The childproof mechanism that restricts access to the contents of the jar may employ a childproof cap comprising an outer cap and an inner cap that is operable by applying a force along the rotational axis of the capor by pressing down on the cap and twisting or rotating the cap. Typically, the jar is treated or coated with a uv-treatment or coating that limits or prevents light from reaching the contents of the jar.

Photosensitive lithium zinc aluminosilicate glasses that can be selectively irradiated and cerammed to provide patterned regions of glass and lithium-based glass ceramic, and composite glass articles made from such glasses and glass ceramics are provided. Compressive and tensile stress at the interface of the lithium-based glass-ceramic and lithium zinc aluminosilicate glass may be used to frustrate crack propagation in such a composite glass/glass ceramic article. Methods of making composite glass articles comprising such lithium-based glass ceramics and lithium zinc aluminosilicate glasses are also provided.

A method for controlling formation of glass bumps in a glass article with laser-irradiation without the use of a growth-limiting structure. Standard deviation of height between the glass bumps on the article is less than 1 micron by controlling the laser radiation dose provided on the glass article.
