An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a back frame, a panel disposed on the back frame, a protective substrate disposed on the panel, and an adhesive element disposed on a portion of the back frame. The back frame and the protective substrate adhere to each other via the adhesive element.

An electronic device having a curved surface is provided. The electronic device having the curved surface includes a back frame having a curved surface, a panel having a curved surface disposed on the back frame having the curved surface, a protective substrate having a curved surface disposed on the panel having the curved surface, and a patterned adhesive element disposed on a portion of the back frame having the curved surface. The back frame having the curved surface and the protective substrate having the curved surface adhere to each other via the patterned adhesive element. The method for fabricating the electronic device having the curved surface is also provided.

An intermediate member is a member which is directly or indirectly sandwiched between a first object and a second object. The intermediate member includes a plate-like supporting member having a lower surface which is one main surface opposed to the first object and a plurality of ceramic blocks fixed on an upper surface which is the other main surface of the supporting member in a state of being separated from one another. Thus, in a state where the plurality of ceramic blocks are collectively held by the supporting member having relatively high shape retention, by disposing the intermediate member between the objects, it is possible to easily arrange the plurality of ceramic blocks between the objects with high positioning accuracy.

A composite plate having a thickness of no more than 2 mm, and having laminated therein a zirconia sintered body, an adhesive layer, and a base material, the elasticity of the base material being no more than 100 GPa, and the apparent density of the composite plate being no more than 4.3 g/cm.sup.3.

An image generating device comprises a light source producing a light beam and a screen (5) traversed by the light beam and designed to modify the light beam so as to form an image. The screen (5) comprises a transparent element (150) traversed by the light beam and designed to evacuate the heat generated at the level of the screen (5). Said transparent element (150) is made of sintered transparent ceramic. Also described are a head-up display comprising such a device, and a method for manufacturing an image generating device.

Some embodiments of present disclosure are directed to a micro-perforated glass or glass-ceramics laminate, comprising a first substrate laminated to a second substrate by a first polymer interlayer, wherein the first and the second substrates are independently selected from glass or glass-ceramics, and a plurality of micro-perforations, each of the plurality of micro-perforations extending through the first substrate, the first polymer interlayer, and the second substrate. Some embodiments are directed to methods of forming such micro-perforated glass or glass-ceramics laminates.

A laminated member includes a glass member of which a linear transmittance at a wavelength of 850 nm is 80% or more, a bonding layer provided on or above the glass member, the bonding layer being constituted by a resin, and a ceramic member provided on or above the bonding layer, the ceramic member being constituted by an SiC member or an AlN member.

Various sapphire and laminate structures are discussed herein. One embodiment may take the form of a sapphire structure having a first sapphire sheet with a first sapphire plane type forming the major surface and a second sapphire sheet having a second different sapphire plane type forming the major surface. The first and second sapphire sheets are fused together to form the sapphire structure.
