  • Publication number: 20220204382
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thin glass for an optical component that includes a first side with a first surface and a second side opposite the first side with a second surface. The thin glass has a three-dimensional shape with at least one target curvature and a thickness of less than 700 ?m. On at least one first measurement area of 3×3 mm2 of the first surface, all surface structure components in a wavelength range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm have an arithmetical mean height Sa of below 30 nm, below 20 nm, below 10 nm, or below 8 nm. On the first measurement area, all surface structure components in a wavelength range from 0.1 mm to 1 mm can have an arithmetical mean height Sa of between 1 nm and 30 nm, between 3 nm and 20 nm, or between 6 nm and 10 nm. The values for the arithmetical mean height refer to a measurement by means of white light interferometry, with a bandpass filtering of 0.1 mm to 1 mm, i.e. with a bandpass filtering for viewing surface structure components in wavelength ranges from 0.

  • Patent number: 11181453
    Abstract: A method for testing the strength of a sheet-like element having two opposite faces and made of hard brittle material under tensile stress is provided. The method includes passing each of the faces of the element over a roller and thereby bending the element so that each of the faces is subjected to a first tensile stress in a portion in which the opposite face is in contact with a surface of the roller; exerting a second tensile force on the element in the direction of advancement so that both faces are subjected to the second tensile stress of at least 2 MPa so that the first and second tensile stresses add up to define a resultant tensile stress; and monitoring the element and determining whether the element has a defined breaking strength equal to the resultant tensile stress or whether the element breaks under the resultant tensile stress.
