A method of manufacturing a glass assembly to have an opaque boundary feature includes a step of forming a first glass substrate that is curved, with the first glass substrate having an outer surface (P1) and an opposing inner surface (P2), and a second glass substrate that is curved, with the second glass substrate having an inner surface (P3) and an opposing outer surface (P4). The method also includes a step of digitally-applying an organic ink without a mask on at least one of the P2 surface and the P3 surface. The method further includes curing the organic ink to form the opaque boundary feature on at least one of the P2 surface and the P3 surface. The method also further includes disposing a polymeric interlayer between the P2 surface and the P3 surface.

A method of manufacturing a glass assembly to have a performance-enhancing feature includes a step of forming a glass substrate that is curved. The method also includes digitally-applying an ink without a mask onto a surface of the curved glass substrate. The method further includes curing the ink to form the performance-enhancing feature on the surface of the curved glass substrate.

Deadfront articles that include a tactile element formed on a first surface of a substrate and a visual element disposed on a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface. The tactile element is positioned on the first surface of the substrate in a complimentary fashion to the visual element disposed on the second surface of the substrate. The tactile element may include a surface roughness portion having a surface roughness different than the surface roughness of an area bordering the surface roughness portion. The deadfront articles may be incorporated into an automobile interior to provide a visual and haptic display interface for a user.

A textured enclosure component including two different types of surface features is disclosed. The two different types of surface features are differently sized. The combination of differently sized surface features provides both anti-glare and anti-reflective properties to the enclosure component.

An apparatus and method for repairing a glass product are disclosed herein. The apparatus and method may include imaging the glass product to capture one or more images of the glass product to identify repairable portion of the glass product, processing the captured one or more images to identify repairable portion of the glass product, and printing a durable material at the repairable portion of the glass product.

Embodiments of a deadfront article are provided. The deadfront article includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface. The deadfront article also includes a semi-transparent layer disposed onto the second surface of the substrate. The semi-transparent layer has a region of a solid color or of a design of two or more colors, and the semi-transparent layer has a first optical density. Further, the deadfront article includes a contrast layer disposed onto the region. The contrast layer is configured to enhance visibility of the color(s) of the semi-transparent layer.

The present invention relates to improved coloring of an optical glass, in particular of a spectacle lens, comprising a predetermined glass material, in order to obtain a target coloration of the optical glass. In this case, a method according to the invention comprises: determining a material-specific intrinsic coloration of the predetermined glass material; determining a glass thickness at a plurality of evaluation locations on the optical glass; identifying an intrinsic coloration of the optical glass from the material-specific intrinsic coloration of the predetermined glass material and the glass thickness at the plurality of evaluation locations on the optical glass; determining a reference color pigment amount for at least one color pigment in such a way that the reference color pigment amount applied on a reference substrate brings about for the reference substrate the target coloration to be obtained on the optical glass; specifying a color correction model which describes a relationship between a deviation of a color pigment amount for at least one color pigment from the reference color pigment amount of the at least one color pigment and a resultant deviation of a coloration of the reference substrate from the target coloration; and determining a target color pigment amount which deviates from the reference color pigment amount by a color pigment amount correction which compensates for the ascertained intrinsic coloration of the optical glass in accordance with the defined color correction model.

A scratch-resistant glass substrate is prepared by forming a hard, scratch-resistant layer over a major surface of the substrate. The layer is formed from an inorganic material such as a metal oxide, metal nitride, metal carbide, or metal boride using, for example, physical vapor deposition such as reactive or non-reactive sputtering at a process temperature of less than 500 C. The inorganic layer is resistant to micro-ductile scratching, which can safeguard the visible appearance of the glass substrate in use. The glass substrate can include chemically-strengthened glass.

A method for producing a vehicular structure in which a transparent substrate and an adherend are bonded together by an adhesive includes pasting a protective film on, so as to cover, an adhesive arrangement area in a peripheral part of a vehicle-inner-side surface of the transparent substrate, and arranging an adhesive in the adhesive arrangement area after removing the protective film, and bonding together the transparent substrate and the adherend with the adhesive.
