An automotive display module can include a mounting bracket, a display panel, a cover substrate, and a frame member. The mounting bracket can be securable to a component of an automobile. The display panel can be coupled to the mounting bracket and the frame member can be connected to a back side of the cover substrate.

Frame for auto interior display panel

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.

Emobidments of a curved glass article are disclosed herein. The curved glass article includes a glass sheet first and second major surfaces. The glass sheet is bent to define a curved region disposed between flat sections. The curved glass article also includes a carrier adhered to the glass sheet. The carrier includes longitudinal strips and lateral strips. The longitudinal strips define the radius of curvature of the curved region. The lateral strips extend between the longitudinal strips. The glass sheet deviates 0.3 mm or less from planar in the flat sections. The longitudinal strips each have a width Wof 2 mm or less. The first lateral strips each have a width Wof 20 mm or less. At least a portion of the width Wof each lateral strip is located in the curved region and a flat section.
