Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a display or touch panel disposed on the curved surface. The display includes a cold-bent glass substrate with a thickness of 1.5 mm or less and a first radius of curvature of 20 mm or greater, and a display module and/or touch panel attached to the glass substrate having a second radius of curvature that is within 10% of the first radius of curvature. Methods for forming such systems are also disclosed.

A display device that includes: a glass substrate comprising a refractive index (n); a display device structure coupled to the substrate to collectively define a viewing area; and a black mask structure surrounding the display device structure that is coupled to the substrate and comprises a black ink layer and at least one glossy layer between the black ink layer and the glass substrate. The viewing area is characterized by (a) a reflectance from 0.5% to 2.5% as measured at 8 degrees from normal in the visible spectrum, (b) a brightness in the CIE colorimetry system such that 5<L*<17 for the specular component included (SCI), and (c) a brightness in the CIE colorimetry system such that 0<L*<3 for the specular component excluded (SCE). Further, the at least one glossy layer comprises a refractive index (n) such that |n−n|>0.1.

Display devices and articles with color-matched display and non-display areas

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of forming a glass article having a glass cover sheet and a frame. The glass cover sheet includes a first major surface and a second major surface in which the second major surface is opposite the first major surface. The frame has a support surface. In the method, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is applied to a first region of the glass cover sheet or of the frame. A liquid adhesive is applied to a second region of the glass cover sheet or of the frame. Pressure is applied to the glass cover sheet and the frame to cause the pressure-sensitive adhesive to adhere the glass cover sheet to the frame at a first bond strength. The liquid adhesive is cured to adhere the glass cover sheet to the frame at a second bond strength that is greater than the first bond strength.

Adhering glass cover sheet to a frame

Embodiments of this disclosure pertains to methods for controlling adhesive bondline while cold-bending a glass substrate. The method includes forming a frame to define a viewing area at least partially surrounded by the frame; shaping the frame to include at least one curvature; positioning a spacer proximate the frame, the spacer comprising: a border area; and a protrusion extending from the border area; engaging the border area of the spacer with the frame to insert the protrusion through the viewing area, wherein the protrusion extends beyond the frame a first distance; positioning an adhesive between the frame and the glass substrate alongside the protrusion to control the bondline; engaging a glass substrate with the adhesive and the protrusion to cold form the glass substrate to the shape of the frame; and securing the glass substrate to the spacer to hold the frame against the adhesive to maintain the bondline.

Methods for uniform adhesive bondline control for 3D cold formed curved laminate

Embodiments of a vehicle interior system and associated processes are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a curved glass article disposed on the curved surface. The curved glass article includes a high modulus adhesive layer located on the second major surface. The high modulus adhesive layer has a modulus of elasticity of at least 500 MPa. The high modulus adhesive layer provides crack resistance to the glass article. Methods for forming such glass articles and vehicle interior systems are also disclosed.
