In this paper, a manufacturing method of an anti-glare cover glass on LCD for outdoor use is proposed. The main specification of cover glass is hardness and anti-glare. Hardness is achieved by using the tempered glass, and anti-glare(AG) film is laminated to meet anti-glare specification no the tempered glass. However, the AG film is difficult to maintain the AG performance continuously because the abrasion resistance of the PET film itself is as weak as about 3H. Therefore, a novel production procedure using screen printing method is proposed. The proposed coating is implemented by applying $ZnO-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ powder on glass surface and the glass is made with enhanced hardness through tempering process. In order to apply the ZBS powder uniformly on the glass surface, a screen printing process is used. The main parameters to be considered in screen printing are the oil concentration and mesh opening size. Because the amount of ZBS powder applied to the printing process is controlled by these two parameters, the correlativity is confirmed through the experiments. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the haze, surface roughness and transmittance are selected as the performance index and are compared with the AG film. As a result of comparison, it is verified that the transmittance of the proposed tempered glass is 83.1%, which is slightly lower than 89.5% of AG film, but the hardness is more than double to 7H.

Currently hydrofluoric acid (HF) based glass etch method is widely used for anti-glare (AG) surface treatment since it can effectively alleviate the specular reflection problem with relatively low processing cost. However, due to the environmental regulation and safety problem, it is essential to develop alternative technology to replace this method. For this, in this paper, we propose sand blasting based AG surface treatment method for display glass. To characterize the sand blasting process, surface roughness, haze, surface durability, and flatness are considered as process outputs and central composite design (CCD) method and response surface model (RSM) method are applied to model each process output. Models for surface roughness and haze showed 96.44% and 97.24% of R-squared values, respectively and they can be applied to optimize AG surface treatment process for various haze level requirements of display industries.

We developed new anti-glare(AG) layer which has improved image quality and solved mechanical problems. Conventional silica-type AG has some restrictions related to sparkling, causing mechanical defects. The new anti-glare layer is designed with adjusted optical factors and polymer type. Therefore new anti-glare layer meets two main characteristics at once using unmatched optical property between scattering in material and surrounding.

Currently, solar module is using the two methods such as a glass-filled method or a super-straight method. The common point of these methods is to use glass structure on the front of solar module. However, the reflectance of the solar module is high depending on the height of the incident sunlight due to the flat surface of the module front glass. Purposed to solve these problems, AG (anti-glare) structures were formed on the glass surface. Next is fabrication methods of AG structure. First, uneven structure made by micro blaster equipment was dipped in Hydro-fluidic acid (HF) acid. HF acid process was carried out to remove particles and to make high transmittance. The reflectance and transmittance of the anti-glare glass was compared to those of the bare glass. The reflectance of anti-glare glass decreased approximately 1% compared with bare glass. The transmittance of anti-glare glass was similar to bare glass. According to the sample angle, the difference of the reflectance between bare glass and the anti-glare glass was about 19%. Isc and efficiency value of anti-glare glass on bare solar cell appeared about 3.01 mA and 0.228% difference compared with bare glass. Anti-glare glass on textured solar cell appeared about 9.46 mA and 0.741% difference compared with bare glass. As a result, the role of anti-glare in the substrate is to reduces the loss of sunlight reflected from the surface. In this study, therefore, AG structure on the solar cell was used to improve the efficiency of solar cell.

Anti-glare (AG) coating films are applied to various display fields such as liquid crystal displays, LED lighting, and touch panels. In this study, micrometer-sized silica particles were added as fillers in the UV-curable coating solutions to provide anti-glare effect. During this process, the effects of the particle size, content, stirring time, and mixing ratio of silica particles of different sizes were investigated on the haze values and visible light transmittance of the coating films. As a result, as the size of the silica particles increased and the content of the silica particles increased, the haze values increased, but the visible light transmittance decreased. On the other hand, the stirring time did not significantly affect the haze value and transmittance of coating films. In addition, as the mixing ratio of large-sized silica particles increased, the haze value increased, but on the contrary, the visible light transmittance decreased.

최근에 환경 오염과 화석 에너지의 고갈 문제를 해결하기 위하여 태양광을 전기 에너지로 변환하는 태양전지 연구에서 가장 이슈가 되는 부분은 저가격화와 고효율이다. 상용화 되어 있는 대부분의 태양전지는 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼와 다결정 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용한다. 실리콘 웨이퍼의 원자재 가격을 낮추는 방법에는 한계가 있기 때문에 태양전지 제작 공정에서 공정 단가를 낮추는 방법이 많이 연구되고 있고, 실리콘 웨이퍼가 가지는 재료의 특성상 화합물을 이용한 태양전지 보다 낮은 효율을 가질 수밖에 없기 때문에 반도체 소자 공정을 응용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 기판에서 고효율을 얻는 방법으로 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 블라스터를 이용하여 태양전지 cell 상부에 AG(anti-glare)를 가지는 유리 기판을 형성하여 낮은 단가로 태양전지 cell의 효율을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 진행 하였다. 태양전지 cell 상부에 AG를 가지는 유리 기판을 형성하게 되면 태양의 위도가 낮아 표면에서 대부분 반사되는 태양광을 태양전지 cell에서 광기전력효과가 일어나게 하여 효율을 향상시킨다. 이때 사용한 micro blaster 공정은 고속의 입자가 재료를 타격할 때 입자의 아래에는 고압축응력이 발생하게 되고, 이 고압 축응력에 의하여 소성변형과 탄성변형이 발생된다. 이러한 변형이 발전되어 재료의 파괴 초기값보다 크게 되면 크랙이 발생되고, 점점 더 발전하게 되면 재료의 제거가 일어나는 단계로 이루어지는 기계적 건식 식각 공정 기술이라 할 수 있다. 먼저 유리 기판에 마이크로 블라스터 장비를 이용하여 AG를 형성한다. AG는 $Al_2O_3$ 파우더의 입자 크기, 분사 압력, 노즐과 기판과의 간격, 반복 횟수, 노즐 이동 속도 등의 공정 조건에 따른 유리 기판 표면에서의 광학적 특성 및 구조적 특성에 관하여 분석하였다. 일반적인 태양전지 cell 제작 공정에 따라 cell을 제작 한후 AG 유리 기판을 상부에 형성시키고 솔라시뮬레이터를 이용하여 효율을 측정하였다. 이때 솔라시뮬레이터의 광원이 고정되어 있기 때문에 태양전지 cell에 기울기를 주어 태양의 위도 변화에 대해 간접적으로 측정하였다. AG 유리 기판이 태양전지 cell 상부에 형성 되었을 때와 없을 때를 각각 비교하여 AG 유리 기판이 형성된 태양전지 cell에서의 효율 향상을 확인하였다.
