  • Publication number: 20190276356
    Abstract: Strengthened glass substrates and methods of reducing warp in strengthened glass substrates having 3D and 2.5D shapes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a strengthened glass-based article includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and an edge between the first surface and the second surface. The edge is asymmetric with respect to a plane that is located at an average depth of the strengthened glass-based article and is parallel to the first surface and the second surface. The strengthened glass-based article has an expected warp WE based at least in part on a shape of the asymmetric edge of the strengthened glass-based article. An actual warp WA of the strengthened glass-based article is less than 85% of the expected warp metric WE of the strengthened glass-based article. The actual warp WA of the strengthened glass-based article is measured with a concave surface facing up.
