Display Glass
CUSTOM FORMAT AND SPECIFICATIONS
Today’s advanced technologies in micro-display, imaging, optical sensing, and biotech require precision glass windows of the highest quality and cleanliness.
Whether you require precision cover glass, optical sensor windows or other small format glass components, Coresix can employ an array of processing options to convert nearly any glass material to a format and specification that work for your application.
PROCESS
Substrate
Small format glass windows and covers for optical sensors, microelectronics, and other applications often require materials or specifications not available in sheet glass format. Through Water Jetting, Coring, Wire Sawing, Lapping, and Polishing, Coresix has the tools, processes, and experience to transform nearly any glass material into a substrate from which we can efficiently fabricate small-format glass components to exacting specifications.
Cutting
Whether using standard sheet glass, fused silica, or optical glass, once the substrate has been established, we use a precision mechanical scribe process to size the individual parts. In some cases, for extremely small parts, it may be appropriate to scribe and ship the substrate on a Tape Ring from which the individual parts can later be “peeled” and applied to the application.
Edging
Though CNC Edging is available within certain size limits, a more cost-effective approach for small parts is to Hand Seam edges and corners on a diamond grinding wheel. This is a very consistent process that eliminated the sharp edge and corners making the parts safe to handle and promoting cleanliness through reduced particle migration.
Cleaning

Through Water Jetting, Coring, Wire Sawing, Lapping, and Polishing, Coresix has the tools, processes, and experience to transform nearly any glass material into a substrate from which we can efficiently fabricate small-format glass components to exacting specifications.
Inspection
Whether using standard sheet glass, fused silica, or optical glass, once the substrate has been established, we use a precision mechanical scribe process to size the individual parts. In some cases, for extremely small parts, it may be appropriate to scribe and ship the substrate on a Tape Ring from which the individual parts can later be “peeled” and applied to the application.
Packaging
Since glass windows are custom-sized to the application, there is rarely a suitable non-contact container or tray readily available for packaging. For programs with supporting volume, a Custom Vacuum Formed Tray is the most effective option. Where volumes do not justify, Coresix can often apply a creative solution for unique packaging needs. If the application allows, clean room Envelopes or Tissue Wrap are often viable and low-cost alternatives.
