[0025] Specifically, the titanium oxide bottom layer 2 as the bottom layer is thicker than other layers, and can form a uniform and dense bottom layer on the glass cover substrate 1, thereby enhancing the adhesion between subsequent film layers and the glass.

[0026] See also Figure 1In the present embodiment, silicon nitride layer 1 301 is plated on the top of titanium oxide bottom layer 2 by magnetron sputtering technology, and aluminum oxide layer 1 401 is plated on the top of silicon nitride layer 1 301 by magnetron sputtering technology; silicon nitride layer 2 302 is plated on the top of aluminum oxide layer 1 401 by magnetron sputtering technology, and aluminum oxide layer 2 402 is plated on the top of silicon nitride layer 2 302 by magnetron sputtering technology; silicon nitride layer 303 is plated on the top of aluminum oxide layer 2 402 by magnetron sputtering technology, and aluminum oxide layer 3 403 is plated on the top of silicon nitride layer 3 303 by magnetron sputtering technology; silicon nitride layer 4 304 is plated on the top of silicon nitride layer 4 304 by magnetron sputtering technology, and aluminum oxide layer 4 404 is plated on the top of silicon nitride layer 4 304 by magnetron sputtering technology.

[0027] Specifically, the multilayer nano-film structure composed of silicon nitride layer 1 301, silicon nitride layer 2 302, silicon nitride layer 303, silicon nitride layer 4 304, aluminum oxide layer 1 401, aluminum oxide layer 2 402, aluminum oxide layer 3 403 and aluminum oxide layer 4 404 utilizes the excellent physical properties of titanium oxide, silicon nitride and aluminum oxide, including high hardness and good optical properties, and achieves super strong adhesion and surface hardness by controlling the thickness of each layer, while ensuring high transmittance.

[0028] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer 1 401, the aluminum oxide layer 2 402, the aluminum oxide layer 3 403 and the aluminum oxide layer 404 is 30 nanometers to 40 nanometers.

[0029] Specifically, the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer 1 401, the aluminum oxide layer 2 402, the aluminum oxide layer 3 403 and the aluminum oxide layer 404 are the same and are precisely controlled between 30 nanometers and 40 nanometers, thereby achieving excellent passivation effect, uniformity and optical properties.

[0030] See also Figure 1 In the present embodiment, the thickness of the silicon nitride layer 1 301 , the silicon nitride layer 2 302 , the silicon nitride layer 303 and the silicon nitride layer 4 304 is 30 nanometers to 50 nanometers.

[0031] Specifically, the thicknesses of silicon nitride layer 1 301 , silicon nitride layer 2 302 , silicon nitride layer 3 303 and silicon nitride layer 4 304 are the same and are precisely controlled between 30 nanometers and 50 nanometers, thereby providing excellent passivation performance and mechanical strength.

[0032] See also Figure 1-2 In this embodiment, a micro protrusion 101 is integrally formed at a position near the edge of the top of the glass cover substrate 1 , and the micro protrusion 101 has the same shape as that of the glass cover substrate 1 .

[0033] Specifically, by providing the micro protrusions 101 on the glass cover substrate 1, the contact area with the titanium oxide bottom layer 2 can be increased, so that the adhesion of the titanium oxide bottom layer 2 on the glass cover substrate 1 can be stronger, thereby improving the stability.

[0034] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the width and length of the coating layer 1 3 , the coating layer 2 4 and the titanium oxide bottom layer 2 are the same as the width and length of the glass cover substrate 1 .

[0035] Specifically, the length and width of each layer are the same as the length and width of the glass cover substrate 1, so that the adhesion flatness between the layers can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the normal use of the glass cover substrate 1 in the subsequent use.

[0036] This application adopts the following scheme:

[0037] A titanium oxide bottom layer 2 (TiO2) with a thickness of 50 to 60 nanometers is used as a bottom layer, and is first plated onto the front surface of the glass cover substrate 1 by physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology to form a uniform and dense bottom layer to enhance the adhesion of subsequent film layers to the glass;

[0038] On the titanium oxide bottom layer 2, a silicon nitride layer 301, an aluminum oxide layer 401, a silicon nitride layer 302, an aluminum oxide layer 402, a silicon nitride layer 303, an aluminum oxide layer 403, a silicon nitride layer 304 and an aluminum oxide layer 404 are alternately plated by magnetron sputtering technology, wherein the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer 401, the aluminum oxide layer 402, the aluminum oxide layer 303 and the aluminum oxide layer 404 is controlled in a range of 30 nanometers to 40 nanometers, and the thickness of the silicon nitride layer 301, the silicon nitride layer 302, the silicon nitride layer 303 and the silicon nitride layer 404 is controlled in a range of 30 nanometers to 50 nanometers;

[0039] Four layers of film are alternately coated, namely four layers of silicon nitride and four layers of aluminum oxide, plus the bottom layer of titanium oxide, for a total of nine layers of film structure;

[0040] This multi-layer nano-film structure utilizes the excellent physical properties of titanium oxide, silicon nitride and aluminum oxide, including high hardness and good optical properties. By precisely controlling the thickness of each layer, it achieves super strong adhesion and surface hardness while ensuring high transmittance.

[0041] It should be noted that the thickness of the coating will affect its hardness and wear resistance. Thicker film layers usually provide better protection because they can more effectively disperse external forces and reduce the possibility of damage. The durability of the coating layer is directly related to its thickness, but it is also necessary to consider multiple factors such as the mechanical properties, stress accumulation, optical properties and material properties of the film layer. Therefore, this application optimizes the film layer structure and thickness, improves the film layer adhesion, the scratch resistance of the glass cover substrate 1, and maintains high transmittance to meet the specific optical parameters and physical properties of the surface cover of various application products. The performance requirements have broad market application prospects. The silicon nitride film layer (coating layer 1 3) formed by the silicon nitride layer 1 301, the silicon nitride layer 2 302, the silicon nitride layer 303, and the silicon nitride layer 4 304 mainly provides excellent passivation performance and mechanical strength (embodied in surface hardness), while the aluminum oxide film layer (coating layer 2 4) formed by the aluminum oxide layer 1 401, the aluminum oxide layer 2 402, the aluminum oxide layer 3 403, and the aluminum oxide layer 404 performs well in passivation effect, uniformity and optical properties. The combination of the two can effectively improve product performance and durability.

[0042] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
