Patent number: 11919803Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Heather Bossard Decker, Shandon Dee Hart, Guangli Hu, James Joseph Price, Paul Arthur Sachenik

Further, the damage metric may correlate to visual observation so that an inspection apparatus may mimic how users of devices will perceive damage to the devices. The damage metric may be adjusted to account for different damage types, for example, abrasion and scratch damage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2019Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: Evan James Bittner, David John Brockway, Christine Cecala, Heather Bossard Decker, Shandon Dee Hart, Eric Louis Null
