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

Publication number: 20170269266Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to articles that exhibit scratch-resistance and improved optical properties. In some examples, the article exhibits a color shift of about 2 or less, when viewed at an incident illumination angle in the range from about 0 degrees to about 60 degrees from normal under an illuminant. In one or more embodiments, the articles include a substrate, and an optical film disposed on the substrate. The optical film includes a scratch-resistant layer and a refractive index gradient. In one or more embodiments, the refractive index includes a refractive index that increases from a first surface at the interface between the substrate and the optical film to a second surface. The refractive index gradient may be formed from a compositional gradient and/or a porosity gradient.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Inventors: Kaveh Adib, Shandon Dee Hart, Karl William Koch, III, Charles Andrew Paulson, James Joseph Price, Paul Arthur Sachenik

Patent number: 9023457Abstract: Described herein are various methods for making textured articles, textured articles that have improved fingerprint resistance, and methods of using the textured articles. The methods generally make use of masks comprising nanostructured metal-containing features to produce textured surfaces that also comprise nanostructured features. These nanostructured features in the textured surfaces can render the surfaces hydrophobic and oleophobic, thereby beneficially providing the articles with improved fingerprint resistance relative to similar or identical articles that lack the texturing.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Albert Carrilero, Prantik Mazumder, Johann Osmond, Valerio Pruneri, Paul Arthur Sachenik, Lili Tian
