The structure and properties of $50SnO_2-(50-x)P_2O_5-xB_2O_3$ for component materials of PDP

Glasses in the $SnO_2-(50-x)P_2O_5-xB_2O_3$ system were examined as potential replacement for the PbO glass frits with low firing temperature for component materials of a plasma display panel. The glasses were evaluated for their structural and the thermal expansion coefficient, glass transition and glass softening temperatures and Vickers hardness as a function of the $B_2O_3$ content.
