  • Patent number: 11123959
    Abstract: A laminated glass article includes a core layer and a clad layer directly adjacent to the core layer. The core layer is formed from a core glass composition. The clad layer is formed from a clad glass composition. An average clad coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is less than an average core CTE such that the clad layer is in compression and the core layer is in tension. A compressive stress of the clad layer decreases with increasing distance from an outer surface of the clad layer within an outer portion of the clad layer and remains substantially constant with increasing distance from the outer surface of the clad layer within an intermediate portion of the clad layer disposed between the outer portion and the core layer. A thickness of the intermediate portion of the clad layer is at least about 82% of a thickness of the clad layer.

Further, the device module includes a flex-bond residual stress region through the thickness, and within a central region, of the cover element that ranges from a maximum compressive residual stress at the second primary surface to a maximum tensile residual stress at a first primary surface of the element along a central bend axis of the cover element.

  • Publication number: 20210230055
    Abstract: One or more aspects of the disclosure pertain to an article including a film disposed on a glass substrate, which may be strengthened, where the interface between the film and the glass substrate is modified, such that the article has an improved average flexural strength, and the film retains key functional properties for its application. Some key functional properties of the film include optical, electrical and/or mechanical properties. The bridging of a crack from one of the film or the glass substrate into the other of the film or the glass substrate can be suppressed by inserting a nanoporous crack mitigating layer between the glass substrate and the film.

  • Patent number: 11034134
    Abstract: A laminated glass article includes a glass core layer having a core modulus Ecore and a glass cladding layer adjacent to the core layer and having a cladding modulus Eclad. Eclad can be at least 5 GPa less than Ecore. A modulus ratio Ecore/Eclad can be at least 1.08. The cladding layer can have a compressive stress resulting from a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) contrast between the core layer and the cladding layer and/or subjecting the laminated glass article to an ion exchange treatment to form an ion exchanged region at an outer surface of the cladding layer.
