Abstract:
A lithium aluminosilicate glass-based article includes greater than or equal to 55.0 mol % and less than or equal to 75.0 mol % SiO2, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol % and less than or equal to 18.0 mol % Al2O3, and greater than or equal to 9.0 mol % and less than or equal to 25.0 mol % Li2O. The glass-based article has a thickness less than 0.74 mm, a fracture toughness of the mid-plane composition of the glass-base article is greater than or equal to 0.75 MPα√{square root over (m)}, and a depth of compression that is greater than or equal to 0.14t, where t is the thickness of the glass-based article. The glass-based article is designed to have a single guided mode in the prism coupling spectrum at a wavelength between 360 nm and 405 nm for at least one of the transverse-magnetic or transverse-electric polarization.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a glass article are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of forming a glass article includes translating a pulsed laser beam on a glass substrate sheet to form a laser damage region between a first surface and a second surface of the glass substrate sheet. The method further includes applying an etchant solution to the glass substrate sheet to remove a portion of the glass substrate sheet about the laser damage region. The method may further include strengthening the glass substrate sheet by an ion-exchange strengthening process, and coating the glass substrate sheet with an acid-resistant coating. Also disclosed are methods where the laser damage region has an initial geometry that changes to a desired geometry following the reforming of the glass substrate sheet such that the initial geometry of the laser damage region compensates for the bending of the glass substrate sheet.
