A method for producing a solid body layer having a domed or curved shape at least in sections includes: irradiating a surface of the solid body by laser beams emitted from a laser application device to produce a modified region within the solid body that includes modifications having an extension in a longitudinal direction of the solid body, the longitudinal extension extending orthogonally to the irradiated solid body surface, wherein the modifications are configured to guide a crack for detaching the solid body layer upon application of an external force; and enlarging the extension of the modified region in the longitudinal direction to increase stress produced by the modified region in unmodified material of the solid body, wherein enlarging the extension of the modified region in the longitudinal direction increases the probability of spontaneous splitting of the solid body layer from the solid body without application of the external force.

Provided is an electronic device, which includes a first protector covering a first surface of the electronic device, wherein the first surface includes a curved region formed by the first protector and an opening region at least partially surrounded by the curved region, a camera module disposed inside the electronic device, and a bracket supporting the camera module. The camera module includes a lens assembly including a lens, a driver controlling the lens assembly, and a planar glass protecting the lens assembly. The planar glass is disposed at the opening region of the first surface.

The method includes tracing a score line on the surface of the glass, using a scoring tool, and breaking out using a local pressure system applied on the opposite face and opposite the score line, the local pressure system being moved and pressed along the score line on the opposite face.

A method for machining and releasing closed forms from a transparent, brittle substrate includes using a burst of ultrafast laser pulses to drill patterns of orifices in the substrate. Orifices are formed by photoacoustic compression and they extend completely or partially in the transparent substrate. A scribed line of spaced apart orifices in the transparent substrate comprise a closed form pattern in the substrate. A heat source is applied in a region about said scribed line of spaced apart orifices until the closed form pattern releases from the transparent substrate.

A plate-like glass element including a pair of opposite side faces and at least one channel introduced into the glass of the glass element. The at least one channel joins the side faces and opens into the side faces. The at least one channel has a rounded wall and a transverse dimension of less than 100 μm. The at least one channel extends in a longitudinal direction that runs transverse to the side faces. The rounded wall of the at least one channel has a plurality of rounded, substantially hemispherical depressions.

A method for manufacturing a glass substrate including an opening includes forming lines of inner and outer circumferential portions irradiated with a laser beam along substantially concentric circles in a surface of a glass blank, separating a portion on an inner side of the line of the outer circumferential portion of the glass blank and a portion on an outer side of the line of the outer circumferential portion from each other by heating the portion on the outer side of the line of the outer circumferential portion with radiant heat and separating a portion on an inner side of the line of the inner circumferential portion of the glass blank and a portion on an outer side of the line of the inner circumferential portion from each other by heating the portion on the outer side of the line of the inner circumferential portion with radiant heat.
