    Abstract: A glass article is provided with a cover glass sheet having first and second major surfaces. The second major surface has a first region with a first curve of a first radius of curvature, and a second region that is different than the first region. A frame's support surface has a third region of a first frame material and a fourth region of a different, second frame material. The second major surface faces the support, and the third region includes a second curve that complements the first curve while the fourth region complements the second region. A first adhesive is between the third region and the first region. A second adhesive is disposed between the fourth region and the second region. The first adhesive has a first Youngs modulus, and the second adhesive comprising a second Youngs modulus that is different than the first Youngs modulus.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a vehicle interior system and methods of forming the same are disclosed. The vehicle interior system includes a base having a curved surface, a display disposed on the curved surface, and a cover glass disposed on the display. The cover glass has a first region including a first major surface, a second major surface opposite the first major surface, and a first thickness defined as a distance between the first major surface and the second major surface. The cover glass also has a second region including the first major surface, a third major surface opposite the first major surface, and a second thickness defined as a distance between the first major surface and the third major surface. The display is attached to the third major surface, and the second region corresponds to touch-sensitive region of the display. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a cold-formed glass substrate removably disposed on the curved surface, wherein the curved surface and the glass substrate each have a radius of curvature within 10% of one another. The base may include a center console, a dashboard, an arm rest, a pillar, a seat back, a floor board, a headrest, a door panel, or a steering wheel. In one or more embodiments, the curved surface includes a display, and the glass substrate is disposed at least partially over the display. Methods for forming such systems are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of an article comprising a cold-formed glass substrate in a curved shape, a plurality of separate mechanical retainers, and a frame are disclosed. The cold-formed glass substrate has a first major surface, and a second major surface opposing the first major surface. In one more embodiments, the plurality of separate mechanical retainers are attached to the second major surface of the cold-formed glass substrate. The mechanical retainers may be attached to the frame to define a position for each of the plurality of mechanical retainers, such that the mechanical retainers define the curved shape. Embodiments of processes to form such articles are also provided. Such processes can include attaching a plurality of separate mechanical retainers to a flexible glass substrate such that the glass substrate maintains its flexibility, and attaching the mechanical retainers to a frame, such that the mechanical retainers attached to the frame define a cold-formed curved shape for the flexible glass substrate.
