  • Patent number: 11926564
    Abstract: Glasses that can be chemically strengthened and are colored by transition metals. Most of the glasses are black, with some having high damage resistance and compressive surface layers having high compressive stress and depth of layer after ion exchange. These colored glasses do not require a post-forming heat treatment to produce color and are formable by fusions drawing, rolling, slot drawing, and float glass processes.

  • Patent number: 11746045
    Abstract: A glass article comprising an alkali aluminosilicate glass that is formable by down-draw processes for example slot- and fusion-draw to thicknesses of 125 ?m or less and is capable of being chemically strengthened by ion-exchange to achieve a compressive stress at its surface of at least 950 MPa, in some embodiments at least about 1000 MPa, and in other embodiments at least about 1100 MPa. The high surface compressive stress allows the glass to retain net compression and thus contain surface flaws when the glass is subjected to bending around a tight radius. The glass may be used in foldable display applications.
