GLASS ARTICLE AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515164 titled 'GLASS ARTICLE AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The glass article described in the abstract includes different regions with varying levels of stress to improve its strength and durability. Here are some key points to explain the innovation:

  • The glass article has a first compressive region extending from the first surface to a certain depth, a second compressive region extending from the second surface to a certain depth, and a tensile region between these two depths.
  • The stress profile of the first compressive region includes a first segment and a second segment, with specific stress values and depth ranges.
  • The depth from the first surface to the first transition point, as well as the compressive stress at the first transition point, have specific ranges to achieve the desired properties.

Original Abstract Submitted

A glass article includes a first surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface, a first compressive region extending from the first surface to a first compression depth, a second compressive region extending from the second surface to a second compression depth and a tensile region between the first compression depth and the second compression depth. A stress profile of the first compressive region includes a first segment located between the first surface and a first transition point and a second segment located between the first transition point and the first compression depth. A depth from the first surface to the first transition point ranges from 6.1 μm to 8.1 μm. A compressive stress at the first transition point ranges from 207 MPa to 254 MPa. A stress-depth ratio of the first transition point ranges from 28 MPa/μm to 35 MPa/μm.
