Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of glass substrate manufacturing, Overflow Brick and relates to a thin plate forming thickness control method thereof.
Background Art
[0002] The glass substrates used in the general flat panel display manufacturing fields such as TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Display), PDP (Plasma Display Panel), etc. are manufactured by the overflow down-draw method. In the forming process, the molten glass melted in the glass melting furnace is supplied to the molten overflow down-draw forming device for manufacturing. For the manufacture of displays, larger glass substrates are increasingly required for improving production efficiency and reducing costs. However, the larger the glass substrate, the more difficult the production becomes, and the quality control of the glass substrate becomes more complicated.
[0003] Overflow Brick is one of the core members of the glass substrate manufacturing and forming device. Among them, the control of the thickness uniformity of the glass substrate is one of the particularly important process technologies. Taking a 0.7 mm glass substrate as an example, its thickness variation needs to be within about 20 um or 30 um, Overflow Brick is that the quality of the structural design and the size of the process margin are one of the important factors for the stability of the forming process. To avoid instantaneous changes in the mass distribution and thermal distribution caused by the glass, Overflow Brick control the sideboard flow rate and balance at the far end and near end of , and adjust the forming process by adjusting the flow rate, temperature, etc. according to the overall initial thickness distribution. That is, using the overflow down-draw method, strict requirements are imposed on the properties such as stress, warping, thickness, and bending of the plate material, and a glass substrate with stable performance is manufactured. The control of the thickness and its consistency of the glass substrate is one of the very important design and process technologies. Since the glass substrate is very thin, any process variation including the air flow and thermal field in the production process will affect the thickness of the formed glass substrate, and further have an adverse effect on the quality of the display. Overflow BrickIn design, it is necessary to consider the influence of these complex factors on the thickness distribution of the glass substrate, that is, to increase the production margin in the design, and in contrast to this, the overall thickness distribution of the glass substrate Thickness range Determine <15μm
