METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING A GLASS RIBBON

Abstract:

A glass ribbon includes a first major surface extending along a first plane. The glass ribbon includes a second major surface extending along a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane. A first thickness is defined between the first major surface and the second major surface along a thickness direction perpendicular to the first major surface. The first thickness is within a range from about 25 .mu.m to about 125 .mu.m. An edge surface extends between the first plane and the second plane. The edge surface comprises a height in the thickness direction that is less than the first thickness. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon are also provided.
