LCD glass substrates

As materials for thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD) mainly used for TVs, cell phones, and PC monitors, non-alkali glass substrates are needed to prevent the contamination of liquid crystal materials and the deterioration of their transistor properties.

The AGC Group succeeded in its first commercialization of nonalkali LCD glass by the float method, which is an optimal method for the mass production and upsizing of glass substrates. Moreover, by optimizing technologies for glass composition and material combustion, we were able to start the mass production of LCD glass substrates for our customers without using arsenic-a substance that has been used as an indispensable additive for the removal of small bubbles from glass.
