A cover glass sheet configured to cover at least a display device, having an outer sheet face and an inner sheet face where the inner sheet face faces the display device and wherein the outer sheet face includes (a) at least a display zone () allowing visualization of at least part of a screen of the display device, the display zone having a perimeter, P; and (b) at least an opaque zone () corresponding to a layer of opaque paint being added at the exception of the display zone, to all or part of the remaining inner sheet face and directly surrounding at least 10-100% of the display perimeter, the opaque zone has a mean surface roughness defined by an opaque arithmetic amplitude value, Ra. The outer sheet face further includes at least one textured zone covering between 0.5% to 99.5% of the opaque zone.

Cover glass sheet with differential texturing

A method of manufacturing a partially textured glass article that includes (a) providing partially textured mother glass substrate that includes a first main surface and a second main surface which are opposed to each other; (b) irradiating the first main surface of the glass substrate with a laser to form a separating line on the first main surface that defines contour lines and extends from the first main surface to the second main surface dividing the glass article from the glass substrate, the glass article being a size smaller than the mother glass substrate; and (c) separating the partially textured glass article is separated from the mother glass substrate by the separating line. The method allows cutting a large partially textured mother glass substrate, with high precision, into smaller articles of partially textured glass at a requested size.

Method for manufacturing a partially textured glass article

A detection device with an optical device comprising at least one light source and at least one light sensitive element optically decoupled inside the detection device. A protective housing encloses the optical device. An optical cover comprising an internal surface facing the optical device and an external surface opposite to the internal surface, wherein the optical cover is transparent at the operating wavelength of the optical device, and comprises at least two separate apertures. A first aperture faces the light source and a second aperture faces the light sensitive element. The optical cover is one piece comprised of diffusing, absorbing, multilayer elements, and/or wavelength-changing elements placed between the first and second apertures in an optical decoupling zone outside the field of view of the light source and the sensitive element to avoid the stray light travelling from the light source to the sensitive element within the optical cover.

Optical cover for detection device

A vehicle control device comprising a display module with a display on a front face of the display module, a touch-sensitive layer, and a transparent cover attached to the front face of the display module where a front face of the transparent cover has a tactile feedback area. A haptic feedback unit is configured to provide an active haptic feedback by moving or deforming the transparent cover. A control unit is configured to display a graphical user interface on the display to receive a user input via the touch-sensitive layer and to trigger a vehicle function in response to the user input.
