1.1 Glass substrates
The basic material is float glass. Various types of
glass are used, which differ in hardness, bonding
strength, colour, and fracture behaviour. The
glass is often chemically treated and hardened,
and anti-reflection coating is applied.
Common types of glass are for example:
Float glass (greenish), like Soda-lime glass
White glass, like OptiWhite™ by Pilkington
Borosilicate glass
Chemically hardened glass, like Gorilla®
Glass made by Corning, Xensation™ made
by Schott
