Abstract: A cover element for an electronic device that includes a glass element having a thickness from 20 μm to 125 μm, a first primary surface, a second primary surface, a compressive stress region extending from the first primary surface to a first depth, and a polymeric layer disposed over the first primary surface. Further, the glass element has a stress profile such that it has a bend strength of about 1850 MPa or more at a 10% failure probability, wherein the cover element is made by a multi-step method that employs a redraw thinning step and at least two chemical etching steps.

Abstract: A method of chemically strengthening a glass-based article via ion exchange, wherein the glass-based article has a thickness of less than about 300 mm. The glass-based article may be chemically strengthened by ion exchanged to achieve a depth of compression DOC ranging from about 5 mm to about 60 mm and a peak compressive stress in a range from about 300 MPa to about 2000 MPa. The high peak compressive stress provides the ability to withstand the stresses associated with bending and to resist damage caused by impact. Additionally, the glass-based article retains net compression to contain surface flaws when the glass is subjected to bending around a tight radius in use, for example, as cover glass in flexible and foldable displays.

Abstract: A process includes providing a base substrate and disposing a precursor on the base substrate. The precursor includes powdered particles of a first material and an organic binder. The process includes photo-thermally treating the precursor to form a light extraction layer. The photo-thermal treatment includes exposing the precursor to a flash lamp that is energized in pulses. The process further includes disposing an organic light emitting diode adjacent to the light extraction layer.

Abstract: A cover element for an electronic device that includes a redrawn glass element, first and second primary surfaces, and a polymeric layer disposed over the first primary surface. The redrawn glass element has a reduced thickness and an average surface roughness of 1 nanometer or less. Further, the cover element can withstand a pen drop height of greater than 6 centimeters or 2.5 times or more than that of a control pen drop height of the cover element having a non-redrawn glass element the layer according to Drop Test 1.

Abstract: Optically transparent fiber glass cover substrates for electronic displays. The cover substrates include an optically transparent fiberglass composite layer including a fiberglass layer embedded in a matrix material and an optically transparent hard-coat layer bonded to a top surface of the optically transparent fiberglass composite layer. A bottom surface of the optically transparent fiberglass composite layer may define a bottommost exterior surface of a cover substrate. The bottommost exterior surface of a cover substrate may be disposed over a display surface of an electronic display to protect the display surface from damage.

Abstract: A glass article including an ultra-thin glass layer and an optically transparent polymeric hard-coat layer having a pencil hardness of 8H or more bonded to the ultra-thin glass layer. The optically transparent polymer hard-coat layer may include an organic polymer material or an aliphatic or aromatic hexafunctional urethane acrylate. In some embodiments, the glass article may have an impact resistance defined by the capability of the glass article to avoid failure at a pen drop height that is 2 times or more than that of a control pen drop height of the ultra-thin glass layer without the optically transparent polymeric hard-coat layer, where the pen drop height and the control pen drop height are measured according to the Pen Drop Test. In some embodiments, the glass article may survive a bend radius of 5 mm or less.

Abstract: Articles and methods for temporary bonding of substrates are described. The articles include a photo-release layer to enable reversal of the temporary bonding upon exposure of the photo-release layer to light to separate the substrates. The method includes plasma treatment of the photo-release layer to increase the bonding energy. Higher bonding energy allows for processing of the article with greater mechanical force before separation. Plasma treatment also allows for temporary bonding with a thinner photo-release layer and a photo-release layer with low total thickness variation (TTV). Once separated from the article, a processed substrate can be bonded to other substrates.
