Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of glass processing forming, and relates to a CFG ultra-thin glass, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, domestic mobile phone terminals gradually introduce folding screen mobile phones, and the main cover plate adopts UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) as the main material. In the coming years, UTG will be in short supply.

[0003] With the gradual introduction of folding mobile phones by terminals, the early UTG can achieve the function of replacing CPI (polyimide) in terms of functionality. Since the main raw material of UTG is glass, it has a certain rigidity. In order to reduce the technical problem of terminal UTG rebound force, it is necessary to provide a CFG (Center Folded Glass) ultra-thin glass.

[0004] CN112939474A discloses a production method of ultra-thin non-equal-thickness glass, which comprises the following steps: 1) thinning the thickness of the folding area; 2) coating the non-folding area of the ultra-thin glass, tempering the folding area, and then removing the film layer of the non-folding area; 3) coating the folding area, tempering the non-folding area, and removing the film layer of the folding area. In step 1), the folding area is thinned by acid etching. Before acid etching, acid-resistant protective films are covered on the surfaces of the ultra-thin glass except the folding area. After the first acid etching, the acid-resistant protective films are removed, and after cleaning and drying, the acid-resistant protective films are re-covered for acid etching. The position of the acid-resistant protective film near the folding area is 1-4 mm closer to the center of the ultra-thin glass than the previous position. This step is repeated until the thickness of the folding area meets the requirements. The method provided by the present application for thinning the thickness of the folding area is relatively complicated, and the processing stability is poor.

[0005] Therefore, in the field, it is expected to develop a simple and efficient preparation method of CFG ultra-thin glass. SUMMARY

[0042] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the non-plastic forming area of the ultra-thin glass is first chemically strengthened, and then the whole ultra-thin glass is chemically strengthened, so that the tensile stress of the whole CFG ultra-thin glass is close. If the whole CFG is chemically strengthened at one time according to the traditional chemical strengthening method, when the strengthening depth of the non-plastic forming area exceeds the strengthening depth of the plastic forming area, the plastic forming area will have a self-explosion phenomenon.

[0043] In order to make the tensile stress value of the whole CFG close, the strengthening time of the plastic forming area / non-plastic forming area is adjusted to adjust the strengthening depth, so as to realize the consistency of the tensile stress.

[0044] The CT calculation formula is as follows:

[0045] CT = (CS * DOL) / (measured point glass thickness - 2 * DOL), wherein CT is the tensile stress; CS is the compressive stress; DOL is the chemical strengthening depth.

[0046] In order to make the CT value of the whole CFG close, the present application realizes the CT value close by adopting three-stage chemical strengthening. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0047] Step A: First, the non-plastic forming area of the ultra-thin glass is chemically strengthened, and the strengthening depth is: the DOL target value of one end of the non-plastic forming area - the DOL target value of the plastic forming area.

[0048] Step B: Then, the other end of the non-plastic forming area of the ultra-thin glass is chemically strengthened, and the strengthening depth is: the DOL target value of the other end of the non-plastic forming area - the DOL target value of the plastic forming area.

[0049] Step C: Finally, the whole ultra-thin glass is chemically strengthened, and the strengthening depth is: the DOL target value of the plastic forming area.

[0050] Preferably, the plastic forming device of step (2) comprises a plastic block, a positioning block, a CFG fixing block, a side plate, and a connecting rod, wherein the plastic block is vertically fixed on the side plate, the positioning block is located above the plastic block and is vertically fixed on the side plate, the CFG fixing block is located outside the positioning block and is connected with the positioning block, and one end of the connecting rod is fixed in parallel with the side plate.

[0051] The plastic block has an arc structure.

[0052] The CFG shaping device of the present application has the functions of ultra-thin glass fixing and bending diameter adjustment, and can ensure the consistency of the bending shape of multiple pieces of ultra-thin glass. The shaping block is a modular device, which can be adjusted or replaced according to the characteristics of CFG. Generally, the shaping block device can satisfy the adjustment of the shaping radius between R10 and R50. The positioning block is placed above the shaping block, and the positioning block adjusts the bending diameter of the ultra-thin glass together with the shaping block. When the positioning block is moved outward, the bending diameter becomes larger, and when the positioning block is moved inward, the bending diameter becomes smaller. Generally, the bending radius of the ultra-thin glass is designed to be 5mm-30mm, such as 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 23mm, 25mm, 28mm or 30mm, etc. The CFG fixing block is connected with the positioning block, and the CFG fixing block is installed after the ultra-thin glass is placed. One end of the connecting rod is connected with the side plate, and the other end is connected with the equipment mechanism, which is used for fixing the device. Since the shaping device involves chemical corrosion solvent, the parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials.

[0053] Preferably, the step (2) of loading the ultra-thin glass of step (1) into the shaping device comprises the following steps:

[0054] The ultra-thin glass is placed outside the shaping block and the positioning block, wherein the side with the acid-resistant film is in contact with the shaping block and the positioning block, and then the CFG fixing block is installed.

[0055] In the present application, the outside refers to the side in contact with the etching solution when the shaping device is immersed in the etching solution.

[0056] In a third aspect, the present application provides the application of the CFG ultra-thin glass of the first aspect in a folding screen.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0058] (1) The slope area of the CFG ultra-thin glass of the present application smoothly transitions with the non-shaping area and the flat area, which can effectively reduce the rebound force of CFG.

[0059] (2) In the present application, ≤30 pieces of ultra-thin glass can be loaded into the shaping device at one time, which improves the production efficiency. Moreover, the shaping device of the present application can ensure that each piece of ultra-thin glass has the same thinning effect, which improves the production stability and has a strong cost advantage.

[0113] The CFG ultra-thin glasses of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are subjected to performance tests, and the test methods are as follows:

[0114] (1) Resilience: The CFG ultra-thin glass is placed in a resilience test device, and the resilience value of the test glass at a set radius (R = 10 mm) is tested during the pressing process;

[0115] (2) 2PB (2 point bending) test: The CFG ultra-thin glass is placed in a bending machine, and the plastic shaping area is pressed until the glass is broken, and the bending radius data at the time of breakage is recorded;

[0116] (3) Bending radius: the radius value at the time of bending during the product bending test (200,000 times);

[0118] (5) Anti-extrusion force: the CFG ultra-thin glass is placed in an extrusion device, and if the CFG ultra-thin glass can maintain 20 s without being broken under a certain set pressure, the set pressure is the anti-extrusion force.
