Patent number: 11919396Abstract: Embodiments of a curved vehicle display including a display module having a display surface, a curved glass substrate disposed on the display surface having a first major surface, a second major surface having a second surface area, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, wherein the second major surface comprises a first radius of curvature of 200 mm or greater, wherein, when the display module emits a light, the light transmitted through the glass substrate has a substantially uniform color along 75% or more of the second surface area, when viewed at a viewing angle at a distance of 0.5 meters from the second surface. Methods of forming a curved vehicle display are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Jeffrey Michael Benjamin, Jordon Thomas Boggs, Atul Kumar, Cheng-Chung Li, Yawei Sun

Publication number: 20230212070Abstract: A glass article including a frame having a frame support surface, a glass sheet having a first major surface and a second major surface in which the second major surface is opposite to the first major surface, and an adhesive bead disposed between the frame support surface and the second major surface. The adhesive bead defines a bead path. The adhesive bead has a cross-section perpendicular to the bead path, and the cross-section includes a width and a height. The height is a maximum dimension perpendicular to the second major surface of the glass sheet, and the width is a maximum dimension parallel to the second major surface of the glass sheet. An aspect ratio of the height to the width is at least 0.6, and the width is 2 mm or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2021Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Benjamin, Jennifer Hiras, Robert Daniel Parker, Christopher Lee Timmons

Publication number: 20220234447Abstract: A vehicle interior system having a first frame having a first end and a second end and a second frame having a third end and a fourth end. The third end of the second frame is arranged proximal to the second end of the first frame, and the first frame and the second frame define a bending axis between the second end and the third end. A continuous cover material is bonded to the first and second frame and across the bending axis. The vehicle interior system also includes a first display device positioned in a first aperture of the first frame. The system has a first configuration in which the first frame is planar with the second frame and a second configuration in which the first frame is not planar with the second frame. The system is configured to reversibly transition between the first and second configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2020Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Benjamin, Wesley J Buth, Scott Steven Cronk, Atul Kumar, Khaled Layouni, Jason Scott Stewart, Po Ki Yuen
