[0027] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[0028] In known display systems (e.g., Figure 1 In the system 10 shown in FIG. 1 , the cover substrate in the dynamically bendable display system is not supported when the cover substrate is bent. Figure 1As shown, the cover substrate is partially attached to the frame to allow local dynamic bending in the unattached area 20, such as Figure 2A and Figure 2B shown. Figure 2A is a cover substrate having a first radius of curvature, and Figure 2B The cover substrate is shown dynamically bent to have a second radius of curvature. The term "radius of curvature" as used herein refers to the radius of curvature of the first major surface, the second major surface, or both the first major surface and the second major surface of the cover substrate adjacent to the bending axis (rather than the local radius of curvature). The radius of curvature is the minimum radius of curvature in a given configuration. Without sufficient support, there is an increased risk of local stress or local bending of the cover substrate during use (or when the cover substrate is dynamically bent) due to the structural integrity provided by the cover substrate alone. The lack of support at the bending axis results in low stiffness, which reduces resistance during HIT.
[0029] A first aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a dynamically bendable display system including a reversible support. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support is easily bendable, provides local support to a cover substrate at a bend axis, and does not damage the cover substrate.
[0030] In one or more embodiments, a dynamically bendable automotive interior display system 100 includes a display 150, a dynamically bendable cover substrate assembly (120, 130, and 140) disposed above the display. In an embodiment, the display herein may be replaced by a touch panel, or may have a touch function. In one or more embodiments, the system 100 includes an adhesive between the cover substrate assembly and the display. The cover substrate assembly of one or more embodiments includes a cover substrate 120, which has a first major surface 121, a second major surface 122 opposite to the first major surface, a secondary surface 126 connecting the first major surface and the second major surface, a thickness, a width, a length, and a bending axis 125. The thickness is defined as the distance between the first major surface and the second major surface, the width is defined as a first dimension of one of the first or second major surfaces orthogonal to the thickness, and the length is defined as a second dimension of one of the first or second major surfaces orthogonal to both the thickness and the width, and the bending axis 125 defines the bending axis. The thickness (t) used herein refers to the maximum thickness of the cover substrate. In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate includes a plurality of bending axes. The bending axes may extend across the entire width, the entire length, or a diagonal of the cover substrate.
[0031] The cover substrate may include an inorganic material, and may include an amorphous substrate, a crystalline substrate, or a combination thereof. The cover substrate may be formed of an artificial material and / or a naturally occurring material (e.g., quartz and a polymer). For example, in some cases, the cover substrate may be characterized as an organic substance, and may be specifically a polymer. Examples of suitable polymers include, but are not limited to, thermoplastics (including polystyrene (PS) (including styrene copolymers and blends)), polycarbonate (PC) (including copolymers and blends), polyesters (including copolymers and blends, and including polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate copolymers), polyolefins (PO) and cyclic polyolefins (cyclic PO), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylic polymers (including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) (including copolymers and blends)), thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), polyetherimides (PEI), and blends of these polymers. Other exemplary polymers include epoxy resins, styrene resins, phenolic resins, melamine resins, and silicone resins.
[0032] In some embodiments, the cover substrate may specifically exclude polymer, plastic, and / or metal substrates. In one or more embodiments, the refractive index presented by the substrate ranges from about 1.45 to about 1.55. In embodiments, the average failure strain of the cover substrate presented at the surface on one or more opposing major surfaces using at least 5, at least 10, at least 15, or at least 20 samples measured using a ball ring test may be 0.5% or greater, 0.6% or greater, 0.7% or greater, 0.8% or greater, 0.9% or greater, 1% or greater, 1.1% or greater, 1.2% or greater, 1.3% or greater, 1.4% or greater, 1.5% or greater, or even 2% or greater. In specific embodiments, the average failure strain of the covering substrate presented at the surface on one or more opposing major surfaces is about 1.2%, about 1.4%, about 1.6%, about 1.8%, about 2.2%, about 2.4%, about 2.6%, about 2.8%, or about 3% or greater.
[0033] Suitable cover substrates exhibit an elastic modulus (or Young's modulus) in the range of about 30 GPa to about 120 GPa. In some cases, the elastic modulus of the substrate can range from about 30 GPa to about 110 GPa, about 30 GPa to about 100 GPa, about 30 GPa to about 90 GPa, about 30 GPa to about 80 GPa, about 30 GPa to about 70 GPa, about 40 GPa to about 120 GPa, about 50 GPa to about 120 GPa, about 60 GPa to about 120 GPa, about 70 GPa to about 120 GPa, and all ranges and sub-ranges therebetween.
[0034] In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate may include an amorphous substrate, and the amorphous substrate may include a glass product. The glass product may be strengthened or unstrengthened. Examples of suitable glass composition series for forming glass products include soda-lime glass, alkali aluminosilicate glass, alkali-containing borosilicate glass, and alkali aluminoborosilicate glass. In one or more alternative embodiments, the cover substrate may include a crystalline substrate (e.g., a glass ceramic product (which may be strengthened or unstrengthened)), or may include a single crystal structure (e.g., sapphire). In one or more specific embodiments, the cover substrate includes an amorphous substrate (e.g., glass) and a crystalline coating (e.g., a sapphire layer, a polycrystalline alumina layer, and / or a spinel (MgAl2O4) layer).
[0035] The covering substrate can be substantially sheet-like, but other embodiments can utilize a substrate that is curved or otherwise shaped or engraved. The covering substrate can be substantially optically clear, transparent, and free of light scattering. In such an embodiment, in the optical wavelength interval, the average light transmittance presented by the covering substrate can be about 85% or higher, about 86% or higher, about 87% or higher, about 88% or higher, about 89% or higher, about 90% or higher, about 91% or higher, or about 92% or higher. In one or more alternative embodiments, in the optical wavelength interval, the covering substrate can be opaque, or the average light transmittance presented is less than about 10%, less than about 9%, less than about 8%, less than about 7%, less than about 6%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, less than about 1%, or less than about 0%. In some embodiments, these light transmittance values are total light transmittance values (considering the transmittance through the two main surfaces of the substrate). The substrate 110 may present a color (eg, white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, etc.) as appropriate.
[0036] The cover substrate assembly also includes a reversible support member that is attached to at least a portion of the second main surface of the cover substrate. The reversible support member is capable of dynamically bending, or dynamically bending the cover substrate along a bending axis in a cycle from a first radius of curvature to a second radius of curvature and from the second radius of curvature to the first radius of curvature. This sequence described herein is a cycle. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support member is capable of dynamically bending, or dynamically bending the cover substrate from a flat shape to a concave shape and then back to a flat shape (from the perspective of the first main surface) along the bending axis. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support member is capable of dynamically bending, or dynamically bending the cover substrate from a flat shape to a convex shape and then back to a flat shape (from the perspective of the first main surface) along the bending axis. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support member is capable of dynamically bending, or dynamically bending the cover substrate from a concave shape to a convex shape and then back to a concave shape (from the perspective of the first main surface) along the bending axis. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support is capable of dynamically bending, or dynamically bending, the cover substrate from a convex shape to a concave shape and then back to a convex shape (from the perspective of the first major surface) along a bending axis.
[0037] In one or more embodiments, the first radius of curvature is greater than the second radius of curvature. In one or more embodiments, the first radius of curvature is 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, or 5 times greater than the second radius of curvature. In one or more specific embodiments, the first radius of curvature is in the range of about 2500 mm to infinity (or the radius of curvature of the covering substrate in a flat configuration), or in the range of about 10000 mm to infinity. In one or more embodiments, the second radius of curvature is about 20 mm to about 10000 mm, about 20 mm to about 9000 mm, about 20 mm to about 8000 mm, about 20 mm to about 7000 mm, about 20 mm to about 6000 mm, about 20 mm to about 5000 mm, about 20 mm to about 4000 mm, about 20 mm to about 3000 mm, about 20 mm to about 2000 mm, about 20 mm to about 1000, about 20 mm to about 750 mm, about 20 mm to about 500 mm, about 20 mm to about 1000 mm, about 20 mm to about 750 mm, about 20 mm to about 500 mm, about 20 mm to about 1000 mm, about 20 mm to about 15 ... about 250mm, about 50mm to about 10000mm, about 75mm to about 10000mm, about 100mm to about 10000mm, about 200mm to about 10000mm, about 300mm to about 10000mm, about 400mm to about 10000mm, about 500mm to about 10000mm, about 600mm to about 10000mm, about 700mm to about 10000mm, about 800mm to about 10000mm, about 900mm to about 10000mm, about 1000mm to about 10000mm, about 1100mm to about 10000mm, about 1200mm to about 10000mm, about 1300mm to about 10000mm, about 1400mm to about 10000mm, about 1500mm to about 10000mm, about 1600mm to about 10000mm, about 1700mm to about 10000mm, about 1800mm to about 10000mm, about 1900mm to about 10000mm, about 2000mm to about 10000mm, about 2100mm to about 10 10000mm, about 2200mm to about 10000mm, about 2300mm to about 10000mm, about 2400mm to about 10000mm, about 2500mm to about 10000mm, about 3000mm to about 10000mm, about 3500mm to about 10000mm, about 4000mm to about 10000mm, about 5000mm to about 10000mm, about 7500mm to about 10000mm, about 20mm to about 1000mm, or about 400mm to about 10000mm.
[0038] In one or more embodiments in which the first radius of curvature is about 10000 mm or less, the cover substrate has a curvature and is then dynamically bent along the bending axis. In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate comprises a cold-bent cover substrate. The term "cold-bent" or "cold-bent" as used herein refers to bending the cover substrate at a cold-bending temperature less than the softening point of the glass. Typically, the cold-bending temperature is room temperature. The term "cold-bendable" refers to the ability of the cover substrate to be cold-bent. In one or more embodiments, the cold-bent cover substrate may include a glass article or a glass-ceramic article, which may be strengthened as appropriate. In more embodiments, the cold-bent cover substrate is characterized by an asymmetric surface compressive stress between the first main surface 121 and the second main surface 122. In one or more embodiments, before the cold-bending process or cold-bending, the respective compressive stresses in the first main surface 121 and the second main surface 122 of the cover substrate are substantially equal. In one or more embodiments in which the cover substrate is not strengthened, before cold-bending, the first main surface 121 and the second main surface 122 do not present a perceptible compressive stress (CS). In one or more embodiments in which the cover substrate has been strengthened (as described herein), before cold bending, the first major surface 121 and the second major surface 122 present substantially equal compressive stresses relative to each other. In one or more embodiments, after cold bending, the CS on the surface having a concave shape after cold bending increases, while the CS on the surface having a convex shape after cold bending decreases. In other words, the CS on the concave surface is greater after cold bending than before cold bending. Without being bound by theory, the cold bending process increases the CS of the formed cover substrate to compensate for the tensile stress applied during cold bending. In one or more embodiments, the cold bending process causes the concave surface to experience compressive stress, while the surface forming the convex shape after cold bending experiences tensile stress. The tensile stress experienced by the convex surface after cold bending results in a net reduction in surface compressive stress, so that the compressive stress in the convex surface of the strengthened cover substrate after cold bending is less than the compressive stress on the same surface when the cover substrate is flat.
[0039] In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate can be a heat-formed glass article that is permanently curved and has a first major surface and a second major surface with the same CS.
[0040] In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate has a thickness (t) of about 1.5 mm or less. In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate has a thickness (t) greater than about 0.125 mm (e.g., about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more, about 0.13 mm or more).For example, the thickness can range from about 0.01 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.02 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.03 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.04 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.05 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.06 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.07 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.08 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.09 mm to about 1.5 mm, 0.1 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.15 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.2 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.25 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.3 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.35 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.4 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.45 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.5 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.55 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.6 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.65 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.7 mm to about 1.5 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 1.4 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 1.3 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 1.2 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 1.1 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 1.05 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 1 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.95 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.9 mm, about 0.01 mm to about mm to about 0.85 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.8 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.75 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.7 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.65 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.6 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.55 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.5 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.4 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.3 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.2 mm, about 0.01 mm to about 0.1 mm, about 0.04 mm to about 0.07 mm, about 0.1 mm to about 1.4 mm, about 0.1 mm to about 1.3 mm, about 0. .1mm to about 1.2mm, about 0.1mm to about 1.1mm, about 0.1mm to about 1.05mm, about 0.1mm to about 1mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.95mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.9mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.85mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.8mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.75mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.7mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.65mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.6mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.55mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.5mm, about 0.1mm to about 0.4mm, or about 0.3mm to about 0.7mm.
[0041] In one or more embodiments, the thickness of the cover substrate is substantially uniform in that the bending axis has substantially the same thickness as the rest of the cover substrate.

[0043] In one or more embodiments, the length (L) of the cover substrate ranges from about 5 cm to about 250 cm, about 10 cm to about 250 cm, about 15 cm to about 250 cm, about 20 cm to about 250 cm, about 25 cm to about 250 cm, about 30 cm to about 250 cm, about 35 cm to about 250 cm, about 40 cm to about 250 cm, about 45 cm to about 250 cm, about 50 cm to about 250 cm, about 55 cm to about 250 cm, about 60 cm to about 250 cm, about 65 cm to about 250 cm, about 70 cm to about 250 cm, about 75 cm to about 250 cm, about 80 cm to about 250 cm, about 85 cm to about 250 cm, about 90 cm to about 250 cm, about 95 cm to about 250 cm, about 100 cm to about 250 cm, about 110 cm to about 250 cm, about 120 cm to about 250 cm, about 130 cm to about 250 cm, about 140 cm to about 250 cm, about 150 cm to about 250 cm, about 160 cm to about 250 cm, about 170 cm to about 250 cm, about 180 cm to about 250 cm, about 190 cm to about 250 cm, about 195 cm to about 250 cm, about 100 cm to about 250 cm, about 110 cm to about 250 cm, about 110 cm to about 250 cm, about 120 cm to about 250 cm, about 130 cm to about 250 cm, about 150 cm to about 250 cm m to about 250cm, about 120cm to about 250cm, about 130cm to about 250cm, about 140cm to about 250cm, about 150cm to about 250cm, about 5cm to about 240cm, about 5cm to about 230cm, about 5cm to about 220cm, about 5cm to about 210cm, about 5cm to about 200cm, about 5cm to about 190cm, about 5cm to about 180cm, about 5cm to about 170cm, about 5cm to about 160cm, about 5cm to about 150cm, about 5cm to about 140cm, about 5cm to about 130cm, about 5cm to about 120cm, about 5cm to about 110cm, about 5cm to about 110cm, about 5cm to about 100cm, about 5cm to about 90cm, about 5cm to about 80cm, or about 5cm to about 75cm.
[0044] In one or more embodiments, the cover substrate comprises a glass article or a glass ceramic article, and the glass article or the glass ceramic article can be strengthened. In one or more embodiments, the cover glass has a compressive stress (CS) region extending from one or both of the major surfaces 121, 122 to a first depth of compression (DOC). The CS region includes a maximum CS magnitude (CS max ). The glass product or glass ceramic has a CT region, which is arranged in a central region extending from the DOC to the opposite CS region. The CT region defines the maximum CT value (CT max ). The CS region and the CT region define a stress distribution curve extending along the thickness of the glass article or glass ceramic.
[0045] In one or more embodiments, the glass article or glass-ceramic article can be mechanically strengthened by taking advantage of the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between portions of the article to produce regions of compressive stress and a central region exhibiting tensile stress. In some embodiments, the cover glass can be thermally strengthened by heating the glass to a temperature above the glass transition point and then rapidly quenching.
[0046] In one or more embodiments, the glass article or glass ceramic article can be chemically strengthened by ion exchange. In the ion exchange process, the ions at or near the surface of the glass article or glass ceramic article are replaced or exchanged by larger ions with the same valence or oxidation state. In those embodiments where the glass article or glass ceramic article comprises alkali metal aluminosilicate glass, the ions in the surface layer of the article and the larger ions are monovalent alkali metal cations (e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+). Alternatively, the monovalent cations in the surface layer can be replaced with monovalent cations other than alkali metal cations (e.g., Ag+ or the like). In such embodiments, the monovalent ions (or cations) exchanged into the glass article or glass ceramic article produce stress.
[0047] Ion exchange treatment is usually performed by immersing the glass article or glass ceramic article in one or more molten salt baths containing larger ions to exchange with smaller ions in the glass article or glass ceramic article. It should be noted that aqueous salt baths can also be used. In addition, the composition of the bath can include more than one type of larger ions (e.g., Na+ and K+) or a single larger ion. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the parameters used for ion exchange treatment include, but are not limited to, the composition and temperature of the bath, the immersion time, the number of times the glass article or glass ceramic article is immersed in the salt bath (or bath), the use of multiple salt baths, additional steps (such as annealing, cleaning, and the like), and are generally determined by the composition of the glass article or glass ceramic article (including the structure of the article and any crystalline phases present) and the CS, DOC and CT values of the desired glass article or glass ceramic article produced by strengthening. Exemplary molten bath compositions can include nitrates, sulfates, chlorides of larger alkali metal ions. Typical nitrates include KNO 3 、NaNO 3 、LiNO 3 、NaSO 4 , and combinations thereof. Depending on the thickness of the glass article or glass ceramic article, the temperature of the bath, and the diffusivity of the glass (or monovalent ions), the temperature of the molten salt bath is generally in the range of about 380° C. to about 450° C., and the immersion time is in the range of about 15 minutes to about 100 hours. However, temperatures and immersion times different from those described above may also be used.
[0048] In one or more embodiments, the glass article or glass ceramic article may be immersed in 100% NaNO having a temperature of about 370° C. to about 480° C. 3 , 100% KNO 3 , or NaNO 3 With KNO 3In some embodiments, the glass article or glass ceramic article may be immersed in a molten salt bath comprising about 1% to about 99% KNO 3 and about 1% to about 99% NaNO 3 In one or more embodiments, after being immersed in the first bath, the glass article or glass ceramic article can be immersed in a second bath. The first and second baths can have different compositions and / or temperatures from each other. The immersion times in the first and second baths can be different. For example, the time of immersion in the first bath can be longer than the time of immersion in the second bath.
[0049] In one or more embodiments, the glass article or glass ceramic article may be immersed in a solution including NaNO having a temperature of less than about 420° C. (eg, about 400° C. or about 380° C.). 3 With KNO 3 In one or more embodiments, the cover glass is immersed in a first mixed molten salt bath (e.g., 49% / 51%, 50% / 50%, 51% / 49%) having a temperature of 430° C. for less than about 5 hours, or even about 4 hours or less. 3 / 25% NaNO 3 ) for 8 hours, and then immersed in a KNO having a lower temperature than the first mixed molten salt bath. 3 A second pure molten salt bath of a shorter duration (e.g., about 4 hours) may be used. In one or more embodiments, the glass article or glass ceramic article may be immersed in a 75% KNO 3 With 25% NaNO 3 The composition was immersed in a first bath with a bath temperature of 430°C for 8 hours and then in a 100% KNO 3 The composition is chemically strengthened by a second bath having a bath temperature of 390° C. for 4 hours.
[0050] The ion exchange conditions can be tailored to provide a "spike" or increase the slope of the stress profile at or near the surface of the resulting glass article or glass ceramic article. The spike can result in a greater surface CS value. Due to the unique properties of the glass compositions used in the glass articles or glass ceramic articles described herein, this spike can be achieved by a single bath or multiple baths, where the baths have a single composition or a mixed composition.
[0051] In one or more embodiments, when more than one monovalent ion is exchanged into a glass article or glass-ceramic article, different monovalent ions can be exchanged to different depths within the glass article or glass-ceramic article (and produce different amounts of stress at different depths within the glass article or glass-ceramic article). The relative depths of the stress-producing ions produced can be determined and result in different characteristics of the stress distribution curve.

[0070] In one or more embodiments, any one or both of the first major surface 121 and the second major surface 122 of the cover substrate include surface treatment. The surface treatment may cover at least a portion of the first major surface 121 and the second major surface 122. Exemplary surface treatments include easy-to-clean surfaces, anti-glare surfaces, anti-reflection surfaces, tactile surfaces, and decorative surfaces. In one or more embodiments, at least a portion of the first major surface 121 and / or the second major surface 122 may include any one, any two, or all three of the anti-glare surface, anti-reflection surface, tactile surface, and decorative surface. For example, the first major surface 121 may include an anti-glare surface, and the second major surface 122 may include an anti-reflection surface. In another example, the first major surface 121 includes an anti-reflection surface, and the second major surface 122 includes an anti-glare surface. In yet another example, the first major surface 121 includes one or both of the anti-glare surface and the anti-reflection surface, and the second major surface 122 includes a decorative surface.
[0071] The anti-glare surface can be formed using an etching process and can exhibit a transmission haze of 20% or less (e.g., about 15% or less, about 10% or less). In one or more embodiments, the anti-glare surface can have a clarity of image (DOI) of about 80 or less. The terms "transmission haze" and "haze" used herein refer to the percentage of transmitted light scattered outside the angle cone at about ±2.5° according to ASTM procedure D1003. For optically smooth surfaces, the transmission haze is generally close to zero. The term "clarity of image" used herein is defined by Method A of ASTM Procedure D5767 (ASTM 5767), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, entitled "Standard Test Methods for Instrumental Measurements of Distinctness-of-Image Gloss of Coating Surfaces". According to Method A of ASTM 5767, substrate reflection factor measurements are performed on the anti-glare surface at a mirror viewing angle and at an angle slightly deviating from the mirror viewing angle. The values obtained from these measurements are combined to provide a DOI value. More specifically, DOI is calculated according to equation (2):
[0072]
[0073] Where Ros is the average relative reflection intensity between 0.2° and 0.4 away from the specular reflection direction, and Rs is the average relative reflection intensity in the specular reflection direction (between +0.05° and -0.05° centered on the specular reflection direction). If the input light source angle is +20° (throughout this disclosure) with respect to the sample surface normal, and the surface perpendicular to the sample is considered to be 0°, the measurement of the specular reflected light Rs is considered to be the average value in the range of about -19.95° to -20.05°, and Ros is considered to be the average reflection intensity in the range of about -20.2° to -20.4° (or -19.6° to -19.8°, or the average of both ranges). The DOI value used herein should be directly interpreted as specifying a target ratio of Ros / Rs as defined herein. In some embodiments, the anti-glare surface has a reflective scattering profile such that >95% of the reflected optical power is contained within a cone of + / -10°, wherein the cone is centered on the specular reflection direction for any input angle.
[0074] The surface roughness (Ra) of the anti-glare surface can be about 10 nm to about 70 nm (e.g., about 10 nm to about 68 nm, about 10 nm to about 66 nm, about 10 nm to about 65 nm, about 10 nm to about 64 nm, about 10 nm to about 62 nm, about 10 nm to about 60 nm, about 10 nm to about 55 nm, about 10 nm to about 50 nm, about 10 nm to about 45 nm, about 10 nm to about 40 nm, about 12 nm to about 70 nm, about 14 nm to about 70 nm, about 15 nm to about 70 nm, about 16 nm to about 70 nm, about 18 nm to about 70 nm, about 20 nm to about 70 nm, about 22 nm to about 70 nm, about 24 nm to about 70 nm, about 25 nm to about 70 nm, about 26 nm to about 70 nm, about 28 nm to about 70 nm, or about 30 nm to about 70 nm). The anti-glare surface may include a textured surface with a plurality of concave features, and the concave features have an opening from the surface outward. The average cross-sectional size of the opening may be about 30 microns or less (e.g., about 2 microns to about 30 microns, about 4 microns to about 30 microns, about 5 microns to about 30 microns, about 6 microns to about 30 microns, about 8 microns to about 30 microns, about 10 microns to about 30 microns, about 12 microns to about 30 microns, about 15 microns to about 30 microns, about 2 microns to about 25 microns, about 2 microns to about 20 microns, about 2 microns to about 18 microns, about 2 microns to about 16 microns, about 2 microns to about 15 microns, about 2 microns to about 14 microns, about 2 microns to about 12 microns, or about 8 microns to about 15 microns). In one or more embodiments, the anti-glare surface presents low flash (for low pixel power deviation reference or PPDr) (e.g., PPDr is about 6% or less, 4% or less, 3% or less, 2% or less, or about 1% or less). As used herein, the terms "pixel power deviation reference" and "PPDr" refer to a quantitative measurement of display flicker. Unless otherwise specified, PPDr is measured using a display arrangement comprising an edge-lit liquid crystal display screen (twisted nematic liquid crystal display) having a native sub-pixel pitch of 60 μm×180 μm and a sub-pixel opening window size of about 44 μm×about 142 μm. The front surface of the liquid crystal display screen has a smooth anti-reflective linear polarizing film. In order to determine the PPDr of a display system or an anti-glare surface forming part of a display system, the screen is placed in the focus area of an "eye simulator" camera with parameters that approximate the eyes of a human observer. In this way, the camera system includes an aperture (or "pupil aperture") inserted into the optical path to adjust the collection angle of light and thereby approximate the aperture of the pupil of the human eye. In the PPDr measurements described herein, the iris aperture subtends an angle of 18 milliradians.
[0075] The anti-reflective surface may be formed by a multi-layer coating stack formed by alternating layers of high refractive index material and low refractive index material. Such a coating stack may include 6 or more layers. In one or more embodiments, the anti-reflective surface may exhibit a single-sided average light reflectivity of about 2% or less (e.g., about 1.5% or less, about 1% or less, about 0.75% or less, about 0.5% or less, or about 0.25% or less) in an optical wavelength region in the range of about 400 nm to about 800 nm. The average reflectivity is measured at an incident illumination angle of greater than about 0 degrees to less than about 10 degrees.
[0076] The decorative surface may include any aesthetic design formed by a pigment (e.g., ink, paint, and the like), and may include a wood grain design, a brushed metal design, a graphic design, a portrait, or a logo. In one or more embodiments, the decorative surface presents an air joint effect, wherein the decorative surface hides or covers the underlying display when the display is turned off, but allows viewing of the display when the display is turned on. The decorative surface may be printed onto a glass substrate. In one or more embodiments, the anti-glare surface includes an etched surface. In one or more embodiments, the anti-reflective surface includes a multi-layer coating. In one or more embodiments, the easy-to-clean surface includes an oleophobic coating that imparts anti-fingerprint properties. In one or more embodiments, the tactile surface includes a raised or recessed surface formed by depositing a polymer or glass material on the surface to provide tactile feedback to the user when touched.
[0077] In one or more embodiments, a surface treatment (i.e., an easy-to-clean surface, an anti-glare surface, an anti-reflective surface, a tactile surface, and / or a decorative surface) is disposed on at least a portion of the periphery of the first and / or second major surfaces, while an interior portion of such surfaces is substantially free of surface treatment.
[0078] FIG. 3A to FIG. 3B An embodiment of dynamically bending an automotive interior display system 100 is shown, wherein the automotive interior display system 100 has a cover substrate 120 disposed above a display (not shown), the cover substrate 120 having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The system 100 includes a reversible support 140 attached to the second major surface. The second major surface of the cover substrate is adjacent to the display. The reversible support 140 moves the cover substrate from a first radius of curvature (e.g., Figure 3A As shown) dynamically bends to a second radius of curvature (as shown Figure 3B ), and then bend to a first radius of curvature.
[0079] Figure 4A and Figure 4B Respectively illustrated Figure 3A and Figure 3B A top view of the system 100 is shown. Figure 4BAs shown, when dynamically bent, the reversible support 140 is at least partially in contact with the cover substrate. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support can be attached to the cover substrate by adhesion or partial contact.
[0080] In one or more embodiments, the reversible support is a single component. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support can be articulated or corrugated. In one or more specific embodiments, the reversible support can be an articulated support or a segmented support (e.g., FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C 140A, 140B, and 140C). Reversible support 140A is a metal segmented support having a tubular configuration. Reversible support 140B is a continuous track in which a continuous tread band or track shoe is driven by two or more wheels. Reversible support 140C is a bendable material having sections that allow for localized bending along the length of the support.
[0081] In one or more specific embodiments, the reversible support member can be a corrugated support member (e.g., FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D 140D, 140E, 140F, and 140G). Such corrugated supports are not hinged, but include geometric undulations. The material used for the reversible supports can be metal or polymer (e.g., plastic and / or rubber) or a combination thereof. Reversible support 140D is a corrugated panel. Reversible support 140E is a bellows. Reversible support 140F is an accordion rubber material. Reversible support 140G utilizes a metal support rod to reinforce the rubber.
[0082] In one or more embodiments, the reversible support member includes more than one component. Fig. 7A and Figure 7B As shown, the reversible support member includes two interfaces. Fig. 7A A reversible support 140 is shown having a support member 142 and an articulation member 144 defining two interfaces 146 , 148 . Fig. 7A The reversible support is shown when the cover substrate has a first radius of curvature. Figure 7B The illustration shows a reversible support member when the cover substrate is dynamically bent to have a second radius of curvature. The materials at the two interfaces may be adhered to each other, or may be separate components (e.g., Fig. 8A and Figure 8B ). Fig. 8A In the embodiment, the hinge member 144 is adhered to the support member 142. Figure 8BIn one embodiment, the hinge member 144 is adhered to the cover substrate 120. The reversible support member shown in these embodiments can be made of metal or polymer (e.g., plastic and / or rubber) material. In one or more embodiments, the reversible support member can be a spring (which can be a steel spring). In one or more embodiments, the reversible support member can be a corrugated or accordion-shaped material (e.g., a mesh polymer).
[0083] As described herein, a reversible support can provide continuous or regular support to a cover substrate as the cover substrate is dynamically bent in a cycle. An automotive interior display system including such a reversible support can meet HIT requirements at any point in the cycle (including when the bending axis of the cover substrate is affected during HIT).
[0084] In one or more embodiments, the reversible support is in contact with the entire second major surface of the cover substrate. The material of the reversible support is not limited as long as the cover substrate can be dynamically bent along the cycle. In some embodiments, the material can be described as elastic.
[0085] In one or more embodiments, the bending axis is positioned along the first and second major surfaces of the covering substrate at a position along a width in the range of about 0.1*width to about 0.9*width (e.g., 0.2*width to about 0.9*width, 0.25*width to about 0.9*width, 0.3*width to about 0.9*width, 0.*width to about 0.9*width, 0.5*width to about 0.9*width, 0.6*width to about 0.9*width, 0.75*width to about 0.9*width, 0.1*width to about 0.8*width, 0.1*width to about 0.75*width, 0.1*width to about 0.6*width, 0.1*width to about 0.5*width, 0.25*width to about 0.75*width, or 0.4*width to about 0.6*width).
[0086] In one or more embodiments, the bending axis is positioned along the first and second major surfaces of the covering substrate at a position along a length in the range of about 0.1*length to about 0.9*length (e.g., 0.2*length to about 0.9*length, 0.25*length to about 0.9*length, 0.3*length to about 0.9*length, 0.*length to about 0.9*length, 0.5*length to about 0.9*length, 0.6*length to about 0.9*length, 0.75*length to about 0.9*length, 0.1*length to about 0.8*length, 0.1*length to about 0.75*length, 0.1*length to about 0.6*length, 0.1*length to about 0.5*length, 0.25*length to about 0.75*length, or 0.4*length to about 0.6*length).
[0087] In one or more embodiments, the automotive interior display system can meet the HIT requirements. For example, when an impactor having a mass of 6.8 kg impacts the first major surface of the cover substrate at an impact speed of 5.35 m / s to 6.69 m / s, the deceleration of the impactor is 120 g (gravity) or less. In one or more embodiments, within the impact time, for any 3 ms interval, the deceleration of the impactor is no greater than 80 g.
[0088] In one or more embodiments, after the impactor impacts the first major surface at the impact location, the cover substrate is substantially free of local bending at the impact location. In one or more specific embodiments, after the impactor impacts the first major surface at the impact location, the cover substrate bends at the bending axis. In some embodiments, after the impactor impacts the first major surface at the impact location, the cover substrate is substantially free of anticlastic effect.
[0089] In one or more embodiments, the covering substrate is capable of dynamically bending along the bending axis for more than 100 cycles (e.g., about 500 cycles or more, about 1000 cycles or more, about 2000 cycles or more, about 5000 cycles or more, about 10,000 cycles or more, about 20,000 cycles or more, about 30,000 cycles or more, about 40,000 cycles or more, about 50,000 cycles or more, about 60,000 cycles or more, about 70,000 cycles or more, about 80,000 cycles or more, about 90,000 cycles or more, about 100,000 cycles or more, about 150,000 cycles or more, about 200,000 cycles or more, or about 500,000 cycles or more) without breaking (e.g., cracking or breaking). In one or more specific embodiments, the cover substrate is capable of dynamically bending along the bending axis for more than 100 cycles (e.g., about 500 cycles or more, about 1000 cycles or more, about 2000 cycles or more, about 5000 cycles or more, about 10,000 cycles or more, about 20,000 cycles or more, about 30,000 cycles or more, about 40,000 cycles or more, about 50,000 cycles or more, about 60,000 cycles or more, about 70,000 cycles or more, about 80,000 cycles or more, about 90,000 cycles or more, about 100,000 cycles or more, about 150,000 cycles or more, about 200,000 cycles or more, or about 500,000 cycles or more) without delamination between the cover substrate system and the display.
[0090] In one or more embodiments, the display is dynamically bendable. In such embodiments, when the reversible support dynamically bends the cover substrate along the bending axis in a cycle, the reversible support dynamically bends the display. In one or more embodiments, the display is dynamically bent along the cycle. In one or more embodiments, the display can be a liquid crystal display, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, a transmissive display, or other display. In one or more embodiments, the display is curved in an initial state and has a first radius of curvature, and can be dynamically bent to have a radius of curvature that is smaller than the first radius of curvature or a radius of curvature that is larger.
