Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 An example of a glass element 1 is shown in the form of a chemically toughened glass substrate 10 with a potassium-rich surface 11 on which a coating comprising a laminate system 200 is provided. The layer system 200 is based on an adhesion-promoting layer 20 , a multilayer, preferably four-layer antireflection coating 100 and an optional fluorine-containing organic layer 70 .

[0043] For the glass substrate 10, there can be used, for example, fluorine-containing glass having the above composition and having a SiO2 content in the range of 56 to 70 mole percent.

[0044] Typically, the glass substrate 10, 11 is in the form of a plate or sheet, and the adhesion promoting layer 20 is a thin oxygen-rich layer mainly comprising silicon oxide, but may also contain part of aluminum oxide, or may consist mostly of aluminum oxide . This lowermost oxygen-rich layer 20 adheres particularly well to the potassium-rich surface 11 of the glass substrate 10 and provides adh...

Abstract

An object of the disclosure is to provide a layer system for a chemically tempered glass substrate, which adheres particularly well to the glass substrate and provides an anti-reflective effect and particularly high scratch resistance. Accordingly, the invention provides a scratch-resistant chemically tempered glass element, comprising a chemically tempered glass substrate having a potassium-rich surface, and a layer system which comprises a plurality of successive layers including an oxygen-rich layer adjacent the potassium-rich surface of the glass substrate. The oxygen-rich layer comprises predominantly silicon oxide and / or aluminum oxide, and is an adhesion promoting layer for a nitridic hard material layer which is the lowermost part of a multi-layered, in particular four-layered, anti-reflective coating. The anti-reflective coating is composed of layers of different refractive indices, alternating higher refractive indices and lower refractive indices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a chemically toughened glass with a special layer system. Background technique [0002] Chemically tempered glass for electronic mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, navigation systems, etc., is generally known. These are generally aluminosilicate glasses which have a refractive index greater than 1.5 at a wavelength of 550 nm. In chemical tempering, potassium ions from a salt bath replace the sodium ions of the glass, increasing the potassium ions in the area a few microns closer to the surface. Potassium content is in the range of a few mass percentages. Through chemical toughening, the bending strength and scratch resistance are improved. Nonetheless, surface damage in the form of scratches is often evident after a relatively short period of use typical of the product. Although chemical toughening prevents the glass from breaking easily when subjected to bending loads, because the pre-compressi...
