A bendable glass article having a bendable display unit is disclosed. The glass article includes a glass sheet including a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. A hinge mechanism is disposed on the second major surface of the glass sheet. The hinge mechanism divides the glass sheet into a first side and a second side. A bendable display unit is bonded to the second major surface of the glass sheet and disposed between the glass sheet and the hinge mechanism. An adhesive material is disposed on the second major surface of the glass sheet around the display. The first side is bendable about the hinge mechanism relative to the second side, and the bendable display unit is hermetically sealed within the adhesive material.

Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to glass articles that comprise a maximum CS magnitude (CS) of about 900 MPa or greater, a CS magnitude of 750 MPa or greater at a depth of about 5 micrometers, and a maximum CT magnitude (CT) disposed at a depth from the first major surface in a range from about 0.25to about 0.75. Embodiments of a curved glass article are also disclosed. In one or more embodiments, such curved glass articles include the first major concave surface comprising a maximum radius of curvature of about 100 mm or greater and a first maximum CS value (CS) of greater than about 800 MPa, a second major convex surface comprising a second maximum CS value (CSmax2), wherein the CSis less than CS. Embodiments of an automotive interior system including such curved glass articles and methods of making glass articles are also disclosed.

Embodiments of this disclosuer pertain to glass articles that comprise a maximum CS magnitude (CS) of about 900 MPa or greater, a CS magnitude of 750 MPa or greater at a depth of about 5 micrometers, and a maximum CT magnitude (CT) disposed at a depth from the first major surface in a range from about 0.25 t to about 0.75 t. Embodiments of a curved glass article are also disclosed. In one or more embodiments, such curved glass articles include the first major concave surface comprising a maximum radius of curvature of about 100 mm or greater and a first maximum CS value (CS) greater than about 800 MPa, a second major convex surface comprising a second maximum CS value (CS), wherein the CSis less than CS. Embodiments of an automotive interior system including such curved glass articles and methods of making glass articles are also disclosed.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a rollable glass sheet configured to reversibly transition between a flat configuration and a bent configuration. The rollable glass sheet includes a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. The first major surface and the second major surface define a thickness of the glass sheet that is 0.4 mm or less. In the flat configuration, the first major surface includes a first surface compressive stress and a first depth of compression, and in the bent configuration, the first major surface includes a curvature. At a radius of curvature of 50 mm, the first major surface includes a second surface compressive stress less than the first compressive stress and a second depth of compression less than the first depth of compression and greater than 11 &#x3bc;m.

Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to glass articles that comprise a maximum CS magnitude (CS) of about 900 MPa or greater, a CS magnitude of 750 MPa or greater at a depth of about 5 micrometers, and a maximum CT magnitude (CT) disposed at a depth from the first major surface in a range from about 0.25 t to about 0.75 t. Embodiments of a curved glass article are also disclosed. In one or more embodiments, such curved glass articles include the first major concave surface comprising a maximum radius of curvature of about 100 mm or greater and a first maximum CS value (CS) of greater than about 800 MPa, a second major convex surface comprising a second maximum CS value (CSmax2), wherein the CSis less than CS. Embodiments of an automotive interior system including such curved glass articles and methods of making glass articles are also disclosed.

Methods for separating glass articles from glass substrate sheets are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes focusing a laser beam on at least one surface of the glass substrate sheet such that the laser beam has an asymmetrical intensity distribution at the at least one surface of the glass substrate sheet. The method further includes translating the laser beam on the at least one surface of the glass substrate sheet along a desired groove line to form at least one groove on the at least one surface of the glass substrate sheet. The at least one groove extends partially through a thickness of the glass substrate sheet along the desired groove line and has bevelled or chamfered walls. The glass article may be separated from the glass substrate sheet along the at least one groove.
