  • Ion-exchangeable glass with high surface compressive stress
    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.

  • Structural Midframe for an Electronic Device Having a Camera and a Speaker
    Publication number: 20230262918
    Abstract: The present document describes an electronic device with a structural midframe and associated methods. The architectural design of the electronic device (e.g., a security camera) is such that its components are assembled onto the midframe to form a subassembly and the housing is assembled after the subassembly. The midframe includes various features that enable multiple printed circuit boards, a camera subassembly, a front housing member, a heatsink, and a heat spreader to be assembled onto the midframe outside of the housing. The midframe can also include a hinge-bearing surface forming a portion of a ball joint for supporting rotational movement of the electronic device. Accordingly, the electronic device uses the midframe, rather than the housing, as a structural member.

  • Non-iox glasses with high coefficient of thermal expansion and preferential fracture behavior for thermal tempering
    Patent number: 11708296
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to glass compositions with high coefficients of thermal expansion and low fracture toughness designed for thermal tempering. These glasses are ideally suited to produce a “dicing” pattern when thermally tempered, even when thin (<3 mm). Disclosed glasses have high thermal expansions at low and high temperatures to produce increased temper stresses once quenched, coupled with low fracture toughness which promotes crack bifurcation and enhanced frangibility. Methods of making such glasses are also provided.
