Abstract

A strengthened glass article having a central tension that is below a threshold value above which the glass exhibits frangible behavior. The central tension varies non-linearly with the thickness of the glass. The glass may be used as a cover plate or window for portable or mobile electronic devices such as cellular phones and the like. The article is strengthened by alkal ion-exchange in a molten salt bath.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 087324, filed August 8, 2008. technical background [0003] Chemically strengthened glasses are known for use in hand-held devices, such as mobile phones, media players, and other devices, as well as other applications requiring transparency, high strength, and abrasion resistance. However, these glasses can be prone to brittleness, ie, the glass tends to shatter into numerous small pieces when impacted with sufficient penetrating force. Summary of the invention [0004] Provided and described herein are strengthened glasses having a central tension below a threshold above which the glass exhibits brittleness. The central tension varies non-linearly with the thickness of the glass. The glass can be used as a cover or window for portable or mobile electronic communication and entertainment devices (such as mobile phones, music players) and info...
