Abstract:
A flat panel display comprising an aluminosilicate glass panel that exhibits a strain point higher than 640Â C. , a weight loss less than 20 mg/cm after immersion for 24 hours in an aqueous 5% by weight HCl solution at 95Â C. , a CTE in the range of 31-57Ã10 /Â C. , is nominally free of alkali metal oxides and has a composition consisting essentially of, as calculated in percent by weight on an oxide basis, 49-67% SiO , at least 6% Al O , the Al O being 6-14% in conjunction with 55-67% SiO and 16-23% in conjunction with 49-58% SiO , SiO +Al O 68%, 0-15% B O , at least one alkaline earth metal oxide selected from the group consisting of, in the proportions indicated, 0-21% BaO, 0-15% SrO, 0-18% CaO, 0-8% MgO and 12-30% BaO+CaO+SrO+MgO.
