  • Patent number: 9452591
    Abstract: A tempered glass screen protector includes a substrate structure, a protection structure, and an adhesion structure. The substrate structure has a transparent portion and a non-planar decorative portion extended from the transparent portion. The protection structure includes a first transparent adhesive layer disposed on the bottom surface of the transparent portion and a transparent protective layer disposed on the first transparent adhesive layer. The adhesion structure includes a first adhesive layer disposed on the bottom surface of the non-planar decorative portion, a base layer disposed on the first adhesive layer, and a second adhesive layer disposed on the base layer. The thickness of the protection structure is smaller than the thickness of the adhesion structure, so that there is no any watermark or Newton ring formed between the transparent protective layer and the display area of the portable electronic device when pressing the transparent portion.
