Embodiments of a vehicle interior system and methods of forming the same are disclosed. The vehicle interior system includes a base having a curved surface, a display disposed on the curved surface, and a cover glass disposed on the display. The cover glass has a first region including a first major surface, a second major surface opposite the first major surface, and a first thickness defined as a distance between the first major surface and the second major surface. The cover glass also has a second region including the first major surface, a third major surface opposite the first major surface, and a second thickness defined as a distance between the first major surface and the third major surface. The display is attached to the third major surface, and the second region corresponds to a touch-sensitive region of the display. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

Embodiments of a color-neutral anti-reflective coating and articles including the same are described. In one or more embodiments, a substrate includes a first major surface and an anti-reflective coating disposed on the first major surface of the substrate and having a reflective surface opposite the first major surface. In one or more embodiments, a point on the reflective surface has a single-surface reflectance under a D65 illuminant with an angular color variation, ΔEθ that is less than 5, where ΔE=√{(a*−a*)+(b*−b*)}, and a*and b*are color values a* and b* values of the point measured from a first angle θ, and a second angle θ, where θand θare any two different viewing angles at least 5 degrees apart in a range from about 10° to about 60° relative to a normal vector of the reflective surface.

Embodiments of a curved vehicle display including a display module having a display surface, a curved glass substrate disposed on the display surface having a first major surface, a second major surface having a second surface area, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, wherein the second major surface comprises a first radius of curvature of 200 mm or greater, wherein, when the display module emits a light, the light transmitted through the glass substrate has a substantially uniform color along 75% or more of the second surface area, when viewed at a viewing angle at a distance of 0.5 meters from the second surface. Methods of forming a curved vehicle display are also disclosed.

Curved vehicle displays

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.

Embodiments of an article comprising a cold-formed glass substrate in a curved shape, a plurality of separate mechanical retainers, and a frame are disclosed. The cold-formed glass substrate has a first major surface, and a second major surface opposing the first major surface. In one more embodiments, the plurality of separate mechanical retainers are attached to the second major surface of the cold-formed glass substrate. The mechanical retainers may be attached to the frame to define a position for each of the plurality of mechanical retainers, such that the mechanical retainers define the curved shape. Embodiments of processes to form such articles are also provided. Such processes can include attaching a plurality of separate mechanical retainers to a flexible glass substrate such that the glass substrate maintains its flexibility, and attaching the mechanical retainers to a frame, such that the mechanical retainers attached to the frame define a cold-formed curved shape for the flexible glass substrate.

Cold-formed glass article and assembly process thereof

Dynamically adjustable display systems for adjusting the position of a flexible display in response to ambient light. The display system includes a flexible display that is capable of reversibly bending along one or more bending axes. The display system further includes an adjustable support on which the flexible display is mounted, the adjustable support being able to selectively bend the flexible display. The display system includes photodetectors for detecting ambient light. The photodetectors may be positioned about a perimeter of the flexible display. A control unit in communication with the adjustable support and the plurality of photodetectors may cause the adjustable support to bend the flexible display in response to ambient light detected at the plurality of photodetectors.

Embodiments of an anti-glare article and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the anti-glare article includes a substrate having a surface, and a plurality of features disposed on the surface, wherein about 50% or more of the plurality of features comprise a normalized area in the range from about 0.5 to about 1.5, and the normalized area is defined as the relationship (surface area of a feature/average surface area of all features). In some embodiments, about 90% or more of the features have a surface area of about 100 micrometers or less. The anti-glare article exhibits a PPDr of about 5% or less, a transmission haze of less than about 20% and a DOI of less than about 90%. Methods of forming the substrate are also disclosed and include etching a surface of a substrate with an etchant comprising a water soluble metal ion salt.

A dual inlet microchannel device and a method for using the device to perform a flow-through kinetic assay are described. A microplate having an array of the dual inlet microchannel devices and in particular their specially configured flow chambers is also described. Several embodiments of the dual inlet microchannel devices and specially configured flow chambers are also described.

Dual inlet microchannel device and method for using same

A display device comprising a display panel and a display cover plate positioned between the display panel and an observer. The display cover plate is housed within a protective frame (edge bracket) that protects edges of the display cover plate from damage. The edge bracket supports the edge portions of the display cover plate that are most likely to have flaws resulting from such operations as cutting and grinding, and minimizes flexing of the display cover plate, particularly at an edge, which could result in the formation of cracks at the flaw site and propagation of those cracks.
