Abstract:
A method of providing locally annealed regions for a glass article. The method includes providing a strengthened glass article having a first surface compressive stress and a first depth of layer of compressive stress, annealing the strengthened glass article to achieve a second surface compressive stress and a second depth of layer of compressive stress, and masking a portion of the glass article during the annealing step to achieve a third surface compressive stress and a third depth of layer of compressive stress in the masked portion. The glass article can be a laminate structure comprising a first glass layer, a second glass layer, and at least one polymer interlayer intermediate the first and second glass layers. The glass layers can include differing surface compressive stresses depths of layer of compressive stress.
Abstract:
A window pane includes a transmission control layer including a first glass sheet, a second glass sheet, and a liquid crystal material disposed between the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet. Each of the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet has a thickness of about 1 mm or less. A first panel is bonded to the first glass sheet of the transmission control layer. A second panel is bonded to the second glass sheet of the transmission control layer. The transmission control layer is disposed between the first panel and the second panel. The liquid crystal material is controllable to adjust a transmittance of the window pane.
