Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for making glass and, more particularly to apparatus and methods for making glass lengths by a down draw process.
  • the fusion process of sheet glass production has become a preferred method of forming glass due to its ability to produce exceptional glass surface quality.
  • glass overflows a forming body such that two separate molten streams fuse into one ribbon of glass and, in doing so, preserve the surface quality of both outer surfaces.
  • the glass surface quality is of utmost importance for customers who use the glass to manufacture displays, for example, flat panel displays, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), OLED displays, plasma displays, and field emission displays. Even small surface defects may cause retardation differences or other problems which the end user (a TV watcher, for example) may see as defect, a dark or light spot in the picture.
  • Typical liquid crystal cell gaps are in the range of ⁇ 5 ⁇ , and so even a 1 ⁇ surface artifact results in a 20% change in the path length of the light from the surrounding areas.
  • surface defects could be large enough to bridge the cell gap completely, resulting in a short circuit.
  • High quality LCD panels necessitate exceptional surface quality in the component glass.
  • the effects of surface defects are extremely significant for large Gen size panels (for example Gen 8 and Gen 10) where even one defect could make the entire sheet unusable.
  • One type of such glass defect is described as an "onclusion".
  • Onclusions are particulate type defects that attach to the surface of the molten glass during ribbon forming and may become partially embedded in the glass. Onclusion is a general term for the nature of the defect, and many root sources are possible.
  • the fusion draw machine (FDM) for making glass is open at the bottom and air circulates up the draw freely. This air can carry particulate matter (that causes defects) upwards and onto the molten glass.
  • general refractory components of the FDM itself could shed or become agitated by vapor or temperature thereby creating particulate matter which gets entrained in the air currents within the FDM or otherwise forms defects on the surface of the glass. All of these fit the onclusion category, and result in glass losses. Their location on the sheet surface makes onclusions a significant defect class.
  • the inventors have found that merely managing pressure within the FDM is not sufficient to maintain a low level of onclusions on the glass surface.
  • the manner in which the pressure within the FDM is managed impacts the ability of pressurization to reduce onclusions while maintaining thickness control, i.e., low thickness variation across the width of the glass.
  • pressurization while establishing a clean air environment within the FDM at the point where onclusions are likely to form is a robust and sustainable manner for attaining onclusion reduction.
  • a clean air environment may be established within the FDM by appropriately selecting the equipment through which gas is delivered to pressurize the FDM, the quality of the gas itself in terms of the particulate matter contained therein, and the location of the gas delivery to the FDM, each of which impact the ability to reduce onclusions.

Similarly, various principles may be explained in connection with one of the shown muffle door housings 20, with the understanding that those same principles may apply equally to the other muffle door housing 20.

  • the muffle door housing 20 includes a front plate 22, a muffle door chamber 24, and a plurality of tubes 26. Each of the tubes 26 includes an outlet within the muffle door chamber 24.

  • openings that allow air to leak from the FDM 10.

Even when seals are provided for the devices inserted through the intended openings, there may still be leaks in the seal allowing flow out of the FDM 10. Because of the air leaking from the FDM 10, as well as thermal gradients within the FDM 10 itself, there is a current that flows upward in the direction of arrow 13.
  • This current draws air through the bottom opening 16, and may carry with it particles, either from the area outside of the FDM 10, or from particle generation sources within the lower enclosure 14. If the particles travel up through the FDM 10 to the area of the muffle door housings 20, they may stick to or otherwise embed within the glass ribbon 4 thereby forming onclusions as explained above. It is thus desirable to minimize the upward current in the FDM 10, especially in the area of the muffle door housings 20.
  • One manner of minimizing the current in the FDM 10, especially in the region of the muffle door housings 20, is to pressurize the muffle chamber 12. However, to reduce onclusions, it is not enough to merely pressurize the muffle chamber 12. Additionally, a clean air environment should be established. A pressurized clean air environment may be established within the muffle chamber 12 by appropriately selecting: the equipment through which gas is delivered to pressurize the muffle chamber 12; the quality of the gas itself; and the location of the gas delivery, each of which impact the ability to reduce onclusions.
  • One manner of establishing a clean air environment in the FDM involves the delivery of gas through equipment that itself will not generate particles that will form onclusions.

For example, one fluid source 44 may be connected to conduits 40 on both sides of the forming body 30.
