[June 15, 2013] Corning Assigned Patent for Glass Ceramics with Bulk Scattering Properties and Methods of Making Them Tweet (Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) By Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- Corning, Corning, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,461,068) developed by four co-inventors for "glass ceramics with bulk scattering properties and methods of making them." The co-inventors are Etienne Almoric, Fontainebleau, France, Marie Jacqueline Monique Comte, Fontenay aux Roses, France, Micaela Nazaraly, Le Blanc Mesnil, France, and Lothar Wondraczek, Erlangen, Germany. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Described herein are glass ceramic compositions with bulk scattering properties that have improved light extraction properties due to high levels of diffuse transmission, and methods of making such glass ceramic compositions. The compositions are based on Li.sub.2O--Al.sub.2O.sub.3--SiO.sub.2 glass ceramics and with the proper crystal size, exhibit good volume scattering characteristic for visible light and enhance the outcoupling from the substrate to the air in optical devices, such as light emitting diodes." The patent application was filed on April 13, 2010 (12/759,147).
