Glass articles and methods for producing glass articles for a portable electronic device are disclosed. Properties of the glass articles, such as cover members, are improved through chemical strengthening, thermoforming, or a combination thereof. The glass articles may include barrier layers to prevent diffusion of ions between glass layers of the glass article, internal compressive stress regions, or a combination thereof.

A flexible display apparatus includes at least two flexible elements, and at least one adhesive layer bonding the at least two flexible elements. The flexible display apparatus has a bendable region, each adhesive layer includes a first portion in the bendable region and a second portion, and at least part of the second portion is located outside the bendable region. The adhesive layer is configured such that at a same temperature, a storage modulus of the first portion is greater than a storage modulus of the second portion. A thickness of the first portion is less than or equal to a thickness of the adhesive layer.

A foldable display screen assembly has a flat area and a curved-surface area. The foldable display screen assembly includes a flexible display module including a flat display portion and a curved-surface display portion. The flexible display module has a display surface and a back surface opposite the display surface. The foldable display screen assembly further includes a flexible support layer attached to the back surface of the flexible display module by an adhesive. The flexible support layer includes a flat support portion and a curved-surface support portion. The foldable display screen assembly further includes a rigid protective structure attached to the display surface of the flexible display module. The rigid protective structure includes a flat protective portion and a curved-surface protective portion. The elastic modulus of the rigid protective structure is greater than the elastic modulus of the flexible support layer.

A dual-reinforced construction board is disclosed comprising a core having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface, a first reinforced fibrous facer adhered to the upper surface of the core and a second fibrous facer adhered to the lower surface of the core. Each of the first and second fibrous facer comprise a non-woven mat coated on a first surface with a coating composition. The first fibrous facer and optionally the second fibrous facer further include a reinforcement layer adhered to at least a portion of the first surface of the non-woven mat. The dual-reinforced construction board has a fastener pull-through strength of at least 400 lbf.

Optically transparent fiber glass cover substrates for electronic displays. The cover substrates include an optically transparent fiberglass composite layer including a fiberglass layer embedded in a matrix material and an optically transparent hard-coat layer bonded to a top surface of the optically transparent fiberglass composite layer. A bottom surface of the optically transparent fiberglass composite layer may define a bottommost exterior surface of a cover substrate. The bottommost exterior surface of a cover substrate may be disposed over a display surface of an electronic display to protect the display surface from damage.

A glass composition comprises a germanosilicate glass containing 5-35 mol % ZnO. The glass composition has a relatively high refractive index, good glass-forming ability, and UV-shielding properties.

Thin-film devices, for example electrochromic devices for windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. Particular focus is given to methods of patterning optical devices. Various edge deletion and isolation scribes are performed, for example, to ensure the optical device has appropriate isolation from any edge defects. Methods described herein apply to any thin-film device having one or more material layers sandwiched between two thin film electrical conductor layers. The described methods create novel optical device configurations.
