A mobile phone is an electronic device equipped with a cellular communication module.
[0048] Zirconia ceramics and glass are both hard materials, making their combination difficult. One embodiment of the present invention provides a sheet material; please refer to [link to previous text]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 This is the front view of board 01. Figure 2 This is a top view of plate 01. Plate 01 includes a glass plate 10 and a ceramic plate 20 located around the glass plate 10 and connected to the glass plate 10.
[0049] The glass panels are made of aluminate glass or sapphire glass. The ceramic panels are primarily composed of zirconium oxide.
[0050] Aluminosilicate glass refers to glass whose main components are silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide, with the aluminum oxide content reaching over 20%. When the aluminum oxide content is high, aluminosilicate glass is also called high-alumina glass. High-alumina glass has relatively strong scratch resistance, impact resistance, crack resistance, and drop resistance.
[0051] Understandably, aluminosilicate glasses have the property of not melting at subsequent sintering temperatures.
[0052] Optionally, the glass panel is made of aluminosilicate glass, and the surface of the glass panel has an anti-glare texture.
[0053] Optionally, the glass plate is made of aluminosilicate glass or tempered glass.
[0054] Optionally, the glass plate is made of aluminosilicate glass, the surface of the glass plate has an anti-glare texture, and the glass plate is tempered glass.
[0055] Sapphire glass refers to synthetic sapphire, which has high hardness and excellent wear resistance.
[0056] In this embodiment, the main component of the ceramic plate is zirconium oxide.
[0057] This invention uses the casting and sintering of ceramic slurry to form a ceramic plate on one hand, and tightly bond two rigid materials, a glass plate and a ceramic plate, into a whole on the other. The transparent texture of the glass plate enables light transmission for display purposes, suitable for both main and secondary screen displays. Simultaneously, the ceramic plate provides the overall material with good mechanical strength.
[0058] In some traditional solutions, zirconia ceramics and glass are bonded together using adhesive. However, the adhesive strength provided by the adhesive is limited, and the resulting product may detach from the zirconia ceramics and glass after long-term use.
[0059] In this embodiment, the glass plate 10 and the ceramic plate 20 are directly connected. This allows for a tight bond between the glass plate and the ceramic plate without requiring an adhesive layer.
[0060] In this embodiment, the glass plate 10 and the ceramic plate 20 are smoothly connected.
[0061] Optionally, the thickness of the glass plate 10 can be 0.7mm to 0.8mm. The thickness of the ceramic plate 20 can be 0.7mm to 0.8mm.
[0062] In this embodiment, the thickness of the glass plate 10 is the same as the thickness of the ceramic plate 20. Compared to embedding a thinner glass plate within a thicker ceramic plate, the surface thickness of the plates in this embodiment is consistent.
[0063] The sheet material of this invention can be a flat sheet material or a curved sheet material, and the shape of the sheet material can be designed according to actual use needs. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1 As shown, board 01 is a flat board. Figure 3 In another embodiment shown, the plate 02 is a curved plate, and the plate 01 includes a flat portion and a curved portion, with the glass plate 20 located in the flat portion and the ceramic plate 21 located in the curved portion. Figure 4 In another embodiment shown, the plate 03 is a curved plate, including a flat part and a curved part. A portion of the glass plate 30 is located in the flat part, and the remaining portion is located in the curved part. The ceramic plate 31 is located in the curved part and is smoothly connected to the glass plate.
[0064] One embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for preparing a sheet material; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The process of preparing the sheet material in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0065] S1. Provide molds
[0066] A mold is provided with a cavity having a preset sheet material shape, wherein the cavity of the mold has a central region and a peripheral region connected to the central region.
[0067] Optionally, the mold material may include wax. Based on a pre-designed sheet material shape drawing, the wax material is melted at high temperature, and then a mold with a cavity of the pre-designed sheet material shape is prepared using 3D inkjet printing technology.
[0068] Understandably, the preset board shape can be designed according to actual usage requirements; it can be a flat board shape or a curved board shape. The cavity with the preset board shape has a central area and a peripheral area connected to the central area, where the central area can correspond to the area requiring light transmission.
[0069] Understandably, the glass plate and ceramic plate can be integrally formed in the cavity of the mold, and by controlling the smoothness of the cavity wall, a smooth connection between the glass plate and the ceramic plate can be achieved.
[0070] In this embodiment, the thickness of the glass plate and the ceramic plate can be controlled by adjusting the size of the cavity. Optionally, the size of the cavity is controlled so that the thickness of the glass plate is 0.7mm to 0.8mm. The size of the cavity is also controlled so that the thickness of the ceramic plate is 0.7mm to 0.8mm.
[0071] Alternatively, the dimensions of the cavity can be controlled so that the thickness of the glass plate is the same as the thickness of the ceramic plate, and the thickness of the plates is consistent.
[0072] S2, Place the glass substrate
[0073] A glass substrate corresponding to the size of the central region is placed in the central region of the cavity.
[0074] The glass substrate is made of aluminosilicate glass or sapphire glass, as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0075] Optionally, the glass substrate can be cut and CNC machined to make its dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the central area of the cavity.
[0076] Understandably, when the glass substrate is sapphire glass, a diamond cutter can be used to cut the sapphire glass into small pieces to complete the cutting process, and then the small pieces can be CNC machined to complete the dimensional precision.
[0077] S3, pouring ceramic slurry
[0078] The ceramic slurry is poured into the peripheral area of the cavity and filled. Since the central area of the cavity is connected to the peripheral area, once the ceramic slurry has filled the peripheral area, it comes into direct contact with the glass substrate located in the central area.
[0079] In this embodiment, the main component of the ceramic slurry is zirconium oxide.
[0080] Optionally, the viscosity of the ceramic slurry at 25°C is 80000 mPa·s to 10000 mPa·s.
[0081] Optionally, the method for preparing ceramic slurry may include the following steps:
[0082] Ceramic powder is melted to prepare ceramic slurry.
[0083] S4, sintering
[0084] The glass substrate and ceramic slurry in the mold are sintered to form a glass plate, and a ceramic plate is formed around the glass plate.
[0085] Optionally, the sintering temperature is 1200℃~1300℃. During the sintering process, the glass substrate softens and is shaped to obtain a glass plate that meets the required structure. At the same time, through high temperature, the liquid phase components in the ceramic slurry gradually evaporate. Simultaneously, through sintering, the ceramic plate shrinks in volume, causing the glass plate and ceramic plate to be tightly bonded at the contact point, forming an integral structure.
[0086] In this embodiment, the mold is removed after sintering is completed.
[0087] Optionally, after demolding, the process may include post-processing of the resulting intermediate product.
[0088] Optionally, post-processing may be selected from CNC machining and / or polishing.
[0089] CNC machining can remove excess burrs from intermediate products, such as burrs at openings. It can also remove excess waste material around intermediate products.
[0090] Polishing can make intermediate products more lustrous. Polishing can be a combination of rough polishing and fine polishing.
[0091] When the glass substrate is made of aluminosilicate glass, after demolding, the process also includes steps of performing anti-glare etching and / or chemical strengthening treatment on the glass plate of the resulting intermediate product.
[0092] Anti-glare etching can be used to form anti-glare textures on intermediate products, resulting in glass plates with anti-glare textures on the surface.
[0093] Chemical strengthening treatment can enhance the mechanical properties of aluminosilicate glass, resulting in tempered glass sheets.
[0094] In some embodiments, the glass substrate is sapphire glass, and after demolding, the resulting intermediate product undergoes a post-processing step.
[0095] Optionally, post-processing may be selected from CNC machining and / or polishing.
[0096] In some embodiments, the glass substrate is high-alumina glass. After demolding, the intermediate product is subjected to CNC processing, polishing, anti-glare etching and chemical strengthening processes in sequence to obtain the sheet material.
[0097] The sheet material prepared by the above method can tightly bond glass and ceramic plates. The glass plate satisfies the light transmission requirement and can be used for both main and secondary displays. The ceramic plate provides a desirable ceramic texture. Furthermore, the method of casting ceramic slurry allows for various form factors, offering broader options in the CMF (Color, Material, Finish) field. The prepared sheet material exhibits high overall hardness and strength, showing great potential in the 3C electronics industry.
