An ultrathin chemically toughened and subsequently etched glass article is provided. The article has a thickness of less than or equal to 0.4 mm and a breakage height (given in mm) of more than 200 multiplied by the thickness (t given in mm)). Further, the article has a breakage bending radius (given in mm) of less than 100000 multiplied by the thickness (t given in mm) and divided by a surface compressive stress (in MPa) measured at a first surface.

Ultrathin glass with high impact resistance

A multi-fiber light guide includes: light guiding fibers, each fiber including an elongated glass core; a glass cladding, the cores being surrounded by the cladding to form a rigid and continuous glass element, the cores having a higher refractive index than the cladding such that light can be guided by a total reflection along the cores, which end in two abutting faces of the glass element such that light can be guided along the cores from one abutting face to the other abutting face; and an ion exchange layer at each of the abutting faces, the glass of the cores and the glass of the cladding including alkali ions, which are at least partly exchanged by alkali ions of a higher atomic number within the ion exchange layer at the abutting faces, the exchanged alkali ions within the ion exchange layer imparting a compressive stress at the abutting faces.
