Abstract: Implementations for composite display cover are described and provide improved protection and durability to device displays as compared with conventional display protection technologies. The described composite display cover, for instance, utilizes an ultra-thin glass layer with a polymer film applied directly to the glass layer and a hard coat applied to the polymer film. The polymer film, for instance, is applied to the glass layer without an adhesive. Further, the composite display cover can be attached to a display, such as via an adhesive layer that adheres the glass layer to a surface of the display.

Abstract: For a flexible, optically clear display stack, an adhesive, a system, and a method are provided. The adhesive is formed of polymer chains, at least a portion of which are cross-linked, a non-volatile diluent having a volume % in the range of between about 40 and 95, and is characterized with a low shear modulus of less than 10 kPa. The system is formed by at least first and second optically clear thin films with the adhesive disposed between the first and second thin films. The method includes the steps to form the system.

Abstract: In implementations of anti-static lens coatings, a device lens comprises an anti-static material disposed on an exterior of the device lens. A hard coat material is disposed as a layer over the anti-static material, where the anti-static material is effective to prevent static build-up on the layer of the hard coat material. The anti-static material can include a first surface treatment disposed on the anti-static material, where the first surface treatment binds the anti-static material to the device lens. The anti-static material can also include a second surface treatment disposed on the anti-static material, where the second surface treatment binds the anti-static material to the hard coat material.

Abstract: In implementations of device component exposure protection, a computing device includes device components enclosed within a housing. The device components are assembled within the housing and enclosed within the housing upon completion of assembly of the computing device. The computing device further includes a protective material contained within the housing, which fills void spaces around the device components. The protective material prevents exposure of the device components to external matter that the computing device is exposed to upon completion of the assembly.

Abstract: Methods for making growth templates for the epitaxial growth of compound semiconductors and other materials are provided. The growth templates are thin layers of single-crystalline materials that are themselves grown epitaxially on a substrate that includes a thin layer of sacrificial material. The thin layer of sacrificial material, which creates a coherent strain in the single-crystalline material as it is grown thereon, includes one or more suspended sections and one or more supported sections.
