Glass Part Texture Reinforcement Layer Fracture Strength

The patent applies preliminary action by forming the texture reinforcement layer on the glass substrate before any subsequent processing or use. The microlens array structure is pre-formed on the glass surface to provide stress distribution capability, allowing the glass to maintain both high strength and processability. This pre-formed structural feature enables the glass to be subsequently cut, drilled, or ground without compromising the reinforcement effect.

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the surface structure of the glass through a texture reinforcement layer with microlens arrays. This structural parameter change creates a distributed stress field that accommodates thermal expansion and contraction more uniformly, preventing the concentration of thermal stresses that lead to bursting. The microlens structure acts as a buffer against thermal shock while maintaining mechanical strength.

The patent applies the porous materials principle by creating a texture reinforcement layer with an array of microlenses that have controlled void spaces between them. This periodic porous structure serves multiple functions: it distributes stress to prevent microcrack propagation, maintains optical transparency, and adds minimal weight. The regular geometric pattern of the microlens array provides structural complexity only where needed for reinforcement, while the overall design remains relatively simple and manufacturable.
