An optical device includes a stack that includes a first curved optical element stacked with a second curved optical element. The second curved optical element propagates light by total internal reflection. The stack also includes an incoupling diffractive grating that incouples the light into the second optical element and an outcoupling diffractive grating optically coupled to the incoupling diffractive grating through the second curved optical element. The outcoupling diffractive grating directs the light. The first curved optical element has a first refractive index, the second curved optical element has a second refractive index, and the first refractive index is different from the second refractive index by approximately 0.15 to 1.2.

A glass laminate comprises an external glass sheet, an internal glass sheet, and a polymer interlayer formed between the external glass sheet and the internal glass sheet. The external glass sheet can be a thin chemically-strengthened glass sheet or can be a non-chemically strengthened glass sheet, the polymer interlayer can have a thickness of less than 1.6 mm, and the internal glass sheet can be a non-chemically-strengthened glass sheet or a thin chemically strengthened glass sheet.

Light-weight hybrid glass laminates

Embodiments of a method for making a contoured glass article and the resulting contoured glass article are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the method includes cold bending a flat glass sheet having first and second opposing major surfaces, at least one region having a first thickness, and at least one region having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness, to produce cold bent glass sheet having at least one bend region along a portion of the at least one region having the second thickness; and restraining the cold bent glass sheet to produce the contoured glass article. One or more embodiments pertain to the resulting contoured glass article.

Light-weight, high stiffness glass laminate structure

A glass laminate structure comprising an external glass sheet and an internal glass sheet wherein one or both of the glass sheets comprises SiO+BO+AlO&#x2265;86.5 mol. %. and RO&#x2014;RO&#x2014;AlO&#x3c;about 5 mol. %. Exemplary glass sheet can comprise between about 69-80 mol. % SiO, between about 6-12 mol. % AlO, between about 2-10 mol. % BO, between about 0-5 mol. % ZrO, LiO, MgO, ZnO and PO, between about 6-15 mol. % NaO, between about 0-3 mol. % KO and CaO, and between about 0-2 mol. % SnOto provide a mechanically robust and environmentally durable structure.

Strengthened glass and compositions therefor

A glass laminate includes at least one chemically-strengthened glass sheets with a thickness not exceeding 2.0 mm and a polymer interlayer between the glass sheets. Flaws are created in the surface of one of the glass sheets in order to weaken the glass laminate upon an impact event on a first side of the laminate, while retaining the strength of the laminate upon impact on the opposing second side of the laminate. The opposing side of the glass sheet with the flaws or a surface of the other glass sheet may be strengthened with an acid etch treatment in order to further strengthen the laminate upon impact on the opposing second side of the laminate.
