Abstract
Description
Microcrystalline glass, microcrystalline glass products and their manufacturing methods Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a microcrystalline glass, and more particularly to a microcrystalline glass suitable for chemical strengthening. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rise and development of consumer electronics, glass, as a transparent and high-performance material, has been widely used in electronic devices. Electronic devices contain many delicate electronic components, requiring covers or shells to protect them. With the diversification of market demands, the application scenarios for protective cover glass are becoming increasingly complex, and its role is no longer limited to protecting internal electronic components; sometimes it also needs to perform other functions. For example, in the vital sign monitoring of smartwatches, the glass material needs to be partially transparent, while other areas need to be shaded to avoid interference from stray light. Therefore, the glass material needs to have both black and transparent parts, which poses new challenges to glass manufacturing technology. In existing technologies, the cover material can be manufactured using two different materials, transparent and black, through an embedded design. However, due to the different strengths and large differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the two materials, and the need to process through holes, micro-cracks exist on the inner wall of the glass, leading to a reduction in the strength of the cover material. Processing smaller holes or irregular shapes is difficult, resulting in high manufacturing costs.
[0003] Photosensitive microcrystalline glass is a type of glass where the matrix glass undergoes structural changes under ultraviolet light irradiation, generating crystal nuclei. Further heat treatment at a specific temperature results in the formation of numerous specific crystals in the irradiated area. The exposed portions exhibit high crystallinity, a darker glass color, and reduced light transmittance, while the unexposed portions remain transparent, preventing crystallization. Therefore, masking can be used to achieve simultaneous black and transparent portions within the glass material. On the other hand, the glass material used to manufacture protective covers also requires excellent mechanical properties to withstand prolonged exposure to normal touch and potential accidental bending, scratches, and impacts. Chemical strengthening can enhance resistance to accidental damage. However, existing photosensitive microcrystalline glass technologies either cannot be chemically strengthened or suffer from poor chemical strengthening due to the inherent inhomogeneity of the glass body (structural differences between crystalline and non-crystalline portions), making them unsuitable for high-performance electronic devices.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present invention, the crystalline phase (crystal) in the glass-ceramic or glass-ceramic article contains a lithium silicate crystalline phase, preferably a lithium metasilicate crystalline phase (Li2SiO3). In some embodiments, the lithium metasilicate crystalline phase has a higher weight percentage than other crystalline phases. In some embodiments, the crystalline phase in the glass-ceramic or glass-ceramic article comprises only the lithium metasilicate crystalline phase.
[0124] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of lithium metasilicate crystalline phase in the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic or glass-ceramic article is 5-50%, preferably 5-40%, and more preferably 10-30%. In some embodiments, the weight percentage of lithium metasilicate crystalline phase in the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic or glass-ceramic article is 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, or 50%.
[0125] SiO2 is a glass-forming oxide, forming the framework of glass. It has a low dielectric constant and dielectric loss. SiO2 is a component of lithium metasilicate in glass-ceramics. When the SiO2 content is less than 65%, the hardness and coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass decrease, while the dielectric constant and dielectric loss increase. When the SiO2 content is higher than 78%, the transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products increases. Therefore, the SiO2 content ranges from 65% to 78%, preferably 68% to 77%, and more preferably 69.5% to 75.5%. In some embodiments, it may contain approximately 65%, 65.5%, 66%, 66.5%, 67%, 67.5%, 68%, 68.5%, 69%, 69.5%, 70%, 70.5%, 71%, 71.5%, 72%, 72.5%, 73%, 73.5%, 74%, 74.5%, 75%, 75.5%, 76%, 76.5%, 77%, 77.5%, or 78% SiO2.
[0126] Li₂O is the main component for crystal formation in the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products of this invention. When the Li₂O content is less than 5%, the crystal content of the microcrystalline glass or microcrystalline glass products decreases, and the transmittance of the blackened portion is higher. When the Li₂O content is greater than 15%, the Young's modulus and falling ball test height of the glass decrease, while the refractive index and dielectric loss of the glass increase. Simultaneously, the portion of the matrix glass not exposed to ultraviolet light during crystallization is prone to crystallization during heat treatment, leading to a decrease in the transmittance of the transparent portion of the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products. Therefore, the Li₂O content is limited to 5-15%, preferably 7-13%, and more preferably 8.5-12%. In some embodiments, it may contain about 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 14.5%, or 15% Li2O.
[0127] The inventors discovered that in some embodiments, the hardness and drop ball test height of the glass increase with increasing SiO2 / Li2O values, while the refractive index decreases with increasing SiO2 / Li2O values. Simultaneously, when SiO2 / Li2O is below 5.5, the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products decreases, while the transmittance of the blackened portion increases; when SiO2 / Li2O exceeds 10.0, the crystal content of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products is low, and the transmittance of the blackened portion increases. Therefore, in some embodiments, a SiO2 / Li2O value of 5.5–10.0 is preferred, a SiO2 / Li2O value of 6.0–9.0 is more preferred, and a SiO2 / Li2O value of 7.0–8.5 is even more preferred. This results in higher transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products in the visible light band, while the transmittance of the blackened portion is lower, making it particularly suitable for optical signal channels or optical shielding systems in electronic products. In some implementations, the SiO2 / Li2O value can be 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, or 10.0.
[0128] Alkali metal oxides (R₂O, which can be one or both of Na₂O and K₂O) can promote the precipitation of lithium metasilicate crystals and improve the transmittance of the blackened portion of glass-ceramics and glass-ceramic products. When the R₂O content is less than 2%, the crystal content of glass-ceramics and glass-ceramic products decreases, the transmittance of the blackened portion increases, and the blackening effect may not even be achieved. When the R₂O content is greater than 12%, the Young's modulus and falling ball test height of the glass decrease, while the refractive index, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss of the glass increase. Therefore, the R₂O content is limited to 2–12%, preferably 3–10%, and more preferably 4–8%. In some implementations, it may contain about 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, or 12% R2O.
[0129] Al2O3 can suppress the decrease in transmittance of the transparent portion of glass-ceramics and glass-ceramic products after mask exposure and heat treatment, and improve the strength and hardness of the glass, as well as enhance its chemical stability. When the Al2O3 content is less than 3%, the hardness and Young's modulus of the glass decrease, while the coefficient of linear expansion increases; when the Al2O3 content is greater than 12%, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the glass increase, the crystal content of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramics and glass-ceramic products decreases, the transmittance of the blackened portion increases, and the blackening effect may even be impossible to achieve. Therefore, the Al2O3 content is 3-12%, preferably 4-10%, and more preferably 5-9%. In some embodiments, it may contain about 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, and 12% Al2O3.
[0130] In some embodiments, when the total content of R2O, Li2O, and Al2O3 (R2O+Li2O+Al2O3) is less than 15%, the refractive index, hardness, and Young's modulus of the glass decrease; when the content of R2O+Li2O+Al2O3 is greater than 30%, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the glass increase. Therefore, it is preferable that the content of R2O+Li2O+Al2O3 is 15-30%, more preferably 17.5-29.5%, even more preferably 18.5-26%, and still more preferably 20-25%. In some embodiments, R2O+Li2O+Al2O3 is approximately 15%, 15.5%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, 19%, 19.5%, 20%, 20.5%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, 22.5%, 23%, 23.5%, 24%, 24.5%, 25%, 25.5%, 26%, 26.5%, 27%, 27.5%, 28%, 28.5%, 29%, 29.5%, or 30%.
[0131] Extensive experimental research by the inventors revealed that, in some embodiments, controlling the ratio of the total content of SiO2 and Al2O3 (SiO2+Al2O3) to the total content of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O (Li2O+Na2O+K2O) within the range of 3.0 to 7.5 results in lower transmittance of the blackened portion of the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products, as well as a lower refractive index of the glass. This reduces the reflectivity of light signals on the glass surface and increases the incident rate of light signals. Therefore, the preferred ratio of (SiO2+Al2O3) / (Li2O+Na2O+K2O) is 3.0 to 7.5, more preferably (SiO2+Al2O3) / (Li2O+Na2O+K2O) is 3.7 to 6.5, even more preferably (SiO2+Al2O3) / (Li2O+Na2O+K2O) is 4.3 to 6.0, and even more preferably (SiO2+Al2O3) / (Li2O+Na2O+K2O) is 4.8 to 5.8. In some implementations, the value of (SiO2+Al2O3) / (Li2O+Na2O+K2O) can be 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5.
[0132] ZrO2 can modulate the precision of the black pattern formation in the blackened areas of glass after mask exposure, improving the interface distinction between the exposed and unexposed areas. This prevents crystallization near the interface in the unexposed areas after heat treatment, thus maintaining high transmittance in the visible light band for the unexposed areas after heat treatment, while ensuring lower transmittance in the blackened areas after heat treatment in the exposed areas. When the ZrO2 content is below 1.5%, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass increases, and crystallization is more likely to occur in the unexposed areas during heat treatment, leading to reduced transmittance in the transparent areas. When the ZrO2 content is above 10%, the crystal content of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products decreases, increasing the transmittance of the blackened areas, and may even prevent the blackening effect from being achieved. Therefore, the ZrO2 content is 1.5–10%, preferably 2–8%, and more preferably 3–6.5%. In some embodiments, it may contain about 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, or 10% ZrO2.
[0133] In some embodiments, controlling the total content of K2O and Na2O, specifically the ratio between K2O+Na2O and ZrO2 (K2O+Na2O) / ZrO2, within the range of 0.5 to 7.1, results in higher transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products, as well as higher hardness and Young's modulus, and lower dielectric constant. Therefore, a K2O+Na2O) / ZrO2 ratio of 0.5 to 7.1 is preferred, a K2O+Na2O) / ZrO2 ratio of 0.7 to 4.5 is more preferred, and a K2O+Na2O) / ZrO2 ratio of 0.8 to 2.5 is even more preferred. In some implementations, the value of (K2O+Na2O) / ZrO2 can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.1.
[0134] In some embodiments, controlling the ratio of Li2O content to ZrO2 content (Li2O / ZrO2) within the range of 1.0 to 7.5 can result in a glass with a lower refractive index and dielectric loss. This improves the accuracy of the pattern formed within the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products after mask exposure and heat treatment, leading to higher transmittance in the transparent portions and lower transmittance in the blackened portions. Therefore, a Li2O / ZrO2 ratio of 1.0 to 7.5 is preferred, more preferably 1.2 to 5.0, further preferably 1.4 to 4.3, and even more preferably 1.6 to 3.0. In some implementations, the Li2O / ZrO2 value can be 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, or 7.5.
[0135] In some embodiments, controlling the total content of SiO2 and Li2O, specifically the ratio between SiO2+Li2O and ZrO2 (SiO2+Li2O) / ZrO2, within the range of 8.0 to 55.0, can improve the hardness and drop ball test height of the glass, reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion and dielectric constant of the glass, improve the accuracy of the pattern formed within the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products after mask exposure and heat treatment, and improve the drop ball test height of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products; the transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products is relatively low. Therefore, it is preferable that (SiO2+Li2O) / ZrO2 is 8.0 to 55.0, more preferably (SiO2+Li2O) / ZrO2 is 10.0 to 37.0, further preferably (SiO2+Li2O) / ZrO2 is 12.0 to 25.0, and even more preferably (SiO2+Li2O) / ZrO2 is 13.0 to 20.0. In some embodiments, the value of (SiO2+Li2O) / ZrO2 can be 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 13.0, 13.5, 14.0, 14.5, 15.0, 15.5, 16.0, 16.5, 17.0, 17.5, 18.0, 18.5, 19.0, 19.5, 20.0, 20.5, 21.0, 21.5, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 23.5, 24.0, 24.5, 25.0, 25.5. 26.0, 26.5, 27.0, 27.5, 28.0, 28.5, 29.0, 29.5, 30.0, 30.5, 31.0, 31.5, 32.0, 32.5, 33.0, 33.5, 34.0, 34.5, 35.0, 35.5, 36.0, 36.5, 37.0, 38.0, 39.0, 40.0, 41.0, 42.0, 43.0, 44.0, 45.0, 46.0, 47.0, 48.0, 49.0, 50.0, 51.0, 52.0, 53.0, 54.0, 55.0.
[0136] Alkaline earth metal oxides (MO, which may be one or more of MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO, and ZnO) can improve the dielectric constant of glass and the transmittance of the blackened portion of glass-ceramics and glass-ceramic products. When the MO content is higher than 5%, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the glass increase, while the Young's modulus and drop ball test height decrease. Therefore, the MO content in this invention is limited to 0-5%, preferably 0-3%, more preferably 0-1%, and even more preferably does not contain MO. In some embodiments, it may contain about 0%, greater than 0%, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, etc. 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4% , 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5% MO.
[0137] In some embodiments, when the MO / ZrO2 ratio is greater than 2.5, the dielectric loss of the glass increases, while the hardness, Young's modulus, and drop ball test height of the glass decrease, and the transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products increases. Therefore, it is preferable that the MO / ZrO2 ratio is 2.5 or less, more preferably 1.5 or less, and even more preferably 0.5 or less. In some embodiments, the value of MO / ZrO2 can be 0, greater than 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5.
[0138] CeO2 acts as a photosensitizer, providing electrons to components such as Ag, Sb, and Sn. When the CeO2 content is below 0.01%, it cannot provide enough electrons, resulting in an excessively low crystal content in the glass-ceramic, reducing the transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and its products, and also decreasing the Young's modulus. When the CeO2 content is above 0.6%, the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass-ceramic and its products decreases, as does the penetration depth in the ultraviolet band. The internal crystal content of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and its products decreases, leading to increased transmittance. Therefore, the CeO2 content is 0.01–0.6%, preferably 0.07–0.4%, and more preferably 0.08–0.3%. In some embodiments, it may include approximately 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.17%, 0.18%, 0.19%, 0.2%, 0.21%, 0.22%, 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.25%, 0.26%, 0.27%, 0.28%, 0.29%, 0 CeO2 concentrations of 0.3%, 0.31%, 0.32%, 0.33%, 0.34%, 0.35%, 0.36%, 0.37%, 0.38%, 0.39%, 0.4%, 0.41%, 0.42%, 0.43%, 0.44%, 0.45%, 0.46%, 0.47%, 0.48%, 0.49%, 0.5%, 0.51%, 0.52%, 0.53%, 0.54%, 0.55%, 0.56%, 0.57%, 0.58%, 0.59%, and 0.6%.
[0139] Ag₂O, as a nucleating agent in the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products of this invention, plays a role in improving the blackening effect in the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products. When the Ag₂O content is less than 0.01%, the transmittance of the blackened portion of the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products increases, or even fails to blacken, and the drop ball test height of the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products decreases, the coefficient of thermal expansion increases, and the pattern accuracy decreases. When the Ag₂O content exceeds 0.8%, the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass decreases during molding or heat treatment, and due to the excessively high nucleating agent content, the number of crystals in the microcrystalline glass and microcrystalline glass products increases, resulting in excessively fine grain size. The scattering effect of the crystals in the blackened portion on visible light weakens, easily leading to an increase in the transmittance of the blackened portion, and the glass is prone to crystallization during molding. Therefore, the Ag₂O content is limited to 0.01-0.8%, preferably 0.1-0.6%, and more preferably 0.2-0.5%. In some embodiments, it may contain approximately 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.17%, 0.18%, 0.19%, 0.2%, 0.21%, 0.22%, 0.23%, 0.24%, etc. 0.25%, 0.26%, 0.27%, 0.28%, 0.29%, 0.3%, 0.31%, 0.32%, 0.33%, 0.34%, 0.35%, 0.36%, 0.37%, 0.38%, 0.39%, 0.4%, 0.41%, 0.42%, 0.43%, 0.44%, 0.45%, 0.46%, 0.47%, 0.48%, 0.49%, 0.5%, 0.51%, 0.52%, 0.

[0140] The inventors discovered that, in some embodiments, controlling the ratio of Ag₂O to CeO₂ (Ag₂O / CeO₂) within the range of 1.0 to 10.0 results in larger grain sizes and higher crystal content in the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products. This leads to stronger light scattering in the visible light band, lower transmittance in the blackened portion, and increased hardness and drop ball test height in the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products. Therefore, an Ag₂O / CeO₂ ratio of 1.0 to 10.0 is preferred, 1.5 to 6.5 is more preferred, and 2.0 to 4.5 is even more preferred. In some implementations, the value of Ag2O / CeO2 can be 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, or 10.0.
[0141] In some embodiments, controlling the ratio of ZrO2 content to the total content of Ag2O and CeO2 (Ag2O+CeO2), ZrO2 / (Ag2O+CeO2), within the range of 2.3 to 50.0, can optimize the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass, improve the accuracy of the pattern formed within the glass-ceramic after mask exposure and heat treatment, and simultaneously increase the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products while reducing the transmittance of the blackened portion. It can also improve the hardness and drop height of the glass and glass-ceramic products. Therefore, a ZrO2 / (Ag2O+CeO2) ratio of 2.3 to 50.0 is preferred, more preferably 6.5 to 35.0, further preferably 8.5 to 20.0, and even more preferably 11.0 to 18.0. In some embodiments, the value of ZrO2 / (Ag2O+CeO2) can be 2.3, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 13.0, 13.5, 14.0, 14.5, 15.0, 15.5, 16.0, 16.5, 17.0, 17.5, 18.0, 18.5, or 19. 0, 19.5, 20.0, 20.5, 21.0, 21.5, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 23.5, 24.0, 24.5, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0, 29.0, 30.0, 31.0, 32.0, 33.0, 34.0, 35.0, 36.0, 37.0, 38.0, 39.0, 40.0, 41.0, 42.0, 43.0, 44.0, 45.0, 46.0, 47.0, 48.0, 49.0, 50.0.
[0142] Sb₂O₃ and SnO₂ absorb Ce during ultraviolet exposure. 3+ The released electrons serve to store electrons, providing energy for Ag in subsequent heat treatment processes. +Electrons are provided to form Ag colloid nuclei, promoting the blackening of glass-ceramics. When the content of Sb₂O₃+SnO₂ is below 0.05%, it is difficult for glass-ceramics or glass-ceramic products to achieve a blackening effect. When the content of Sb₂O₃+SnO₂ is above 1.2%, the blackened portion of the glass-ceramics or glass-ceramic products tends to have increased transmittance. Therefore, the content of Sb₂O₃+SnO₂ is 0.05-1.2%, preferably 0.1-1%, and more preferably 0.2-0.7%. In some embodiments, the content of Sb₂O₃ + SnO₂ is approximately 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.25%, 0.3%, 0.35%, 0.4%, 0.45%, 0.5%, 0.55%, 0.6%, 0.65%, 0.7%, 0.75%, 0.8%, 0.85%, 0.9%, 0.95%, 1.0%, 1.05%, 1.1%, 1.15%, and 1.2%.
[0143] SnO2 has a good effect on promoting the blackening of glass-ceramics. However, in some embodiments, when the SnO2 content is higher than 0.5%, the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass decreases or even becomes devitrified during forming or heat treatment. Therefore, the SnO2 content is limited to 0-0.5%, preferably 0-0.3%, and more preferably 0-0.2%. The Sb2O3 content is limited to 0-1%, preferably 0.01-0.7%, and more preferably 0.07-0.5%. In some embodiments, the content may include approximately 0%, greater than 0%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.17%, 0.18%, 0.19%, 0.2%, 0.21%, 0.22%, 0.23%, and 0.2%. SnO2 concentrations of 4%, 0.25%, 0.26%, 0.27%, 0.28%, 0.29%, 0.3%, 0.31%, 0.32%, 0.33%, 0.34%, 0.35%, 0.36%, 0.37%, 0.38%, 0.39%, 0.4%, 0.41%, 0.42%, 0.43%, 0.44%, 0.45%, 0.46%, 0.47%, 0.48%, 0.49%, and 0.5%. In some implementations, the content may include approximately 0%, greater than 0%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.17%, 0.18%, 0.19%, 0.2%, 0.21%, 0.22%, 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.25%, 0.26%, 0.27%, 0.28%, etc. 0.29%, 0.3%, 0.31%, 0.32%, 0.33%, 0.34%, 0.35%, 0.36%, 0.37%, 0.38%, 0.39%, 0.4%, 0.41%, 0.42%, 0.43%, 0.44%, 0.45%, 0.46%, 0.47%, 0.48%, 0.49%, 0.5%, 0.55%, 0.6%, 0.65%, 0.7%, 0.75%, 0.8%, 0.85%, 0.9%, 0.95%, and 1% Sb2O3.
[0144] Through extensive experimental research, the inventors discovered that in some embodiments, controlling the total content of Sb₂O₃ and SnO₂, specifically the ratio of Sb₂O₃+SnO₂ to Ag₂O (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂) / Ag₂O, within the range of 0.1 to 5.0, can reduce the dielectric loss of the glass, increase the drop ball test height of the glass and glass-ceramic products, and result in higher transmittance of the transparent portion and lower transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass and glass-ceramic products. Therefore, it is preferable that (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂) / Ag₂O is 0.1 to 5.0, more preferably 0.5 to 3.5, and even more preferably 1.0 to 2.6. In some implementations, the value of (Sb2O3+SnO2) / Ag2O can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, or 5.0.
[0145] In some embodiments, controlling the total content of Ag2O, SnO2, and Sb2O3 (Ag2O+SnO2+Sb2O3) to the content of CeO2 (Ag2O+SnO2+Sb2O3) / CeO2 within the range of 1.0 to 30.0 can result in lower transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products, thereby reducing the dielectric constant of the glass while increasing its hardness and Young's modulus. Therefore, the preferred ratio of (Ag2O+SnO2+Sb2O3) / CeO2 is 1.0 to 30.0, more preferably (Ag2O+SnO2+Sb2O3) / CeO2 is 3.0 to 20.0, even more preferably (Ag2O+SnO2+Sb2O3) / CeO2 is 5.0 to 12.5, and even more preferably (Ag2O+SnO2+Sb2O3) / CeO2 is 7.5 to 10.0. In some implementations, the value of (Ag₂O + SnO₂ + Sb₂O₃) / CeO₂ can be 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 13.0, 13.5, 14.0, 14.5. 15.0, 15.5, 16.0, 16.5, 17.0, 17.5, 18.0, 18.5, 19.0, 19.5, 20.0, 20.5, 21.0, 21.5, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 23.5, 24.0, 24.5, 25.0, 25.5, 26.0, 26.5, 27.0, 27.5, 28.0, 28.5, 29.0, 29.5, 30.0.
[0146] In some embodiments, controlling the total content of Sb₂O₃, SnO₂, and CeO₂, and the ratio between the content of Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂ and Ag₂O (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂) / Ag₂O, in the range of 0.1 to 10.0, can reduce the dielectric loss and coefficient of expansion of the glass, resulting in lower transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products. Therefore, it is preferable that (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂) / Ag₂O is 0.1 to 10.0, more preferably (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂) / Ag₂O is 0.4 to 5.0, further preferably (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂) / Ag₂O is 0.7 to 3.7, and even more preferably (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂) / Ag₂O is 1.5 to 3.2. In some implementations, the value of (Sb₂O₃+SnO₂+CeO₂) / Ag₂O can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4. 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0.
[0147] In some embodiments, when the value of SnO2 / (CeO2+SnO2) is greater than 0.9, the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass decreases sharply or even becomes completely devitrified during glass forming or heat treatment. Therefore, it is preferable that SnO2 / (CeO2+SnO2) is 0 to 0.9, more preferably 0 to 0.6, and even more preferably 0 to 0.5. In some implementations, the value of SnO2 / (CeO2+SnO2) can be 0, greater than 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.13, 0.15, 0.17, 0.2, 0.23, 0.25, 0.27, 0.3, 0.33, 0.35, 0.37, 0.4, 0.43, 0.45, 0.47, 0.5, 0.53, 0.55, 0.57, 0.6, 0.63, 0.65, 0.67, 0.7, 0.73, 0.75, 0.77, 0.8, 0.83, 0.85, 0.87, or 0.9.
[0148] Ln₂O₃ (Ln₂O₃ can be one or more of La₂O₃, Gd₂O₃, and Y₂O₃) can adjust the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of glass, and can be used for Ag… + Providing electrons promotes the blackening of glass-ceramics. When Ln2O3 content is higher than 5%, the transmittance of the blackened portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic articles increases, and the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the glass increase. Therefore, the Ln2O3 content is limited to 0-5%, preferably 0-3%, more preferably 0-1%, and in some embodiments, it is further preferred to contain no Ln2O3. In some embodiments, it may contain about 0%, greater than 0%, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, etc. 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, and 5% Ln2O3.
[0149] Fe2O3 can absorb ultraviolet light during ultraviolet exposure of glass, which can then act as a catalyst for Ag. +Providing electrons promotes the blackening of the glass-ceramic. When the Fe2O3 content is higher than 1%, the transmittance of the transparent portion of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products decreases in the visible light range, while the transmittance of the blackened portion increases, resulting in a decrease in the drop ball test height of the glass-ceramic and glass-ceramic products. Therefore, the Fe2O3 content is limited to 0-1%, preferably 0-0.5%, more preferably 0-0.2%, and in some embodiments, it is further preferred that it does not contain Fe2O3. In some implementations, the content may include approximately 0%, greater than 0%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.17%, 0.18%, 0.19%, 0.2%, 0.21%, 0.22%, 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.25%, 0.26%, 0.27%, 0.28%, etc. 0.29%, 0.3%, 0.31%, 0.32%, 0.33%, 0.34%, 0.35%, 0.36%, 0.37%, 0.38%, 0.39%, 0.4%, 0.41%, 0.42%, 0.43%, 0.44%, 0.45%, 0.46%, 0.47%, 0.48%, 0.49%, 0.5%, 0.55%, 0.6%, 0.65%, 0.7%, 0.75%, 0.8%, 0.85%, 0.9%, 0.95%, and 1% Fe2O3.

[0198] The matrix glass, glass-ceramic, and glass-ceramic articles of the present invention can be produced and manufactured by the following methods:
[0199] The manufacturing method of matrix glass includes the following steps: weighing raw materials according to the component ratio and mixing them evenly; placing the uniformly mixed raw materials into a platinum or quartz crucible; melting, clarifying, and homogenizing at 1450-1600℃; cooling the mixture; pouring the molten glass into a mold to form the glass; and circulating cooling air to ensure that the glass does not crystallize. Preferably, the mold is preheated to 200-500℃. The formed glass and the mold are placed together in an annealing furnace for heat preservation and annealing. Then, the power is turned off and the glass is cooled with the furnace to obtain matrix glass.
[0200] The manufacturing method of microcrystalline glass includes the following steps: forming a substrate glass, processing the substrate glass through a crystallization process, or processing the substrate glass into a glass element of a specific shape and then processing it through a crystallization process to obtain the microcrystalline glass of the present invention. The method of processing the substrate glass into a glass element of a specific shape includes methods known to those skilled in the art, such as hot pressing, grinding, or polishing. The crystallization process of the present invention includes mask exposure of the substrate glass, followed by crystallization heat treatment, to uniformly precipitate crystals at the exposed locations on the glass. The mask exposure process of the present invention refers to ultraviolet exposure at specific locations or areas of the substrate glass, with the ultraviolet wavelength preferably 313 nm. A dedicated photomask pattern can be customized according to application needs, and the exposure time is preferably 5–60 minutes.

[0202] The chemical strengthening method described in this invention is ion exchange. During ion exchange, smaller metal ions in the glass-ceramic are replaced or "exchanged" by larger metal ions with the same valence state located nearby. The replacement of smaller ions with larger ions creates compressive stress within the glass-ceramic, forming a compressive stress layer.
[0203] In some embodiments, the metal ion is a monovalent alkali metal ion (e.g., Na+). + K + 、Rb + Cs + Ion exchange is carried out by immersing a glass-ceramic glass in a salt bath containing at least one molten salt containing larger metal ions, which replace smaller metal ions in the glass-ceramic glass. Alternatively, other monovalent metal ions such as Ag can be used. + 、Tl + Cu +Ion exchange processes can also be used to exchange monovalent ions. One or more ion exchange processes used to chemically strengthen glass-ceramics may include, but are not limited to, immersing the glass in a single salt bath, or immersing it in multiple salt baths having the same or different compositions, with washing and / or annealing steps added between immersions.
[0204] In some embodiments, the microcrystalline glass can be ion-exchanged by immersing it in a salt bath of molten Na salt (such as NaNO3) and / or K salt (such as KNO3) and / or a mixed Na and K salt at a temperature of about 350°C to 470°C for 1 to 36 hours, preferably at a temperature range of 380°C to 460°C and for a preferred time range of 2 to 24 hours.
