Disclosed herein are embodiments of a borosilicate glass composition comprising BOin an amount greater than or equal to 11 mol % and less than or equal to 16 mol %; AlOin an amount greater than or equal to 2 mol % and less than or equal to 5 mol %; one or more alkali metal oxides; one or more alkaline earth metal oxides; a total amount of NaO, KO, MgO, and CaO that is greater than or equal to 7.0 mol %°. Amounts of SiO, BO, the one or more alkali metal oxides, AlO, and the one or more alkaline earth metal oxides, satisfy: (RO+R'O)≥AlO, and 0.80<(1−[(2RO+2R′O)/(SiOAlO+2BO)])<0.93, where RO and R′O are sums sum of the concentrations of the one or more alkali metal oxides and the one or more alkaline earth metal oxides, respectively.

Glass with unique fracture behavior for vehicle windshield

A decorated laminate including: an outer ply; an inner ply; a polymer interlayer between the inner ply and the outer ply; and organic ink printed decoration on one or both of internal surfaces of the laminate between the outer ply and the polymer interlayer or between the inner ply and polymer interlayer, wherein the decorated laminate has a stone impact resistance as defined herein. Also disclosed is a method of making and using the decorated laminate.

Laminate having organic ink decoration and high impact resistance

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

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a borosilicate glass composition as may be useful for windshield and other applications in particular due to unique fracture behavior.

Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a display or touch panel disposed on the curved surface. The display includes a cold-bent glass substrate with a thickness of 1.5 mm or less and a first radius of curvature of 20 mm or greater, and a display module and/or touch panel attached to the glass substrate having a second radius of curvature that is within 10% of the first radius of curvature. Methods for forming such systems are also disclosed.

Vehicle interior systems having a curved cover glass and a display or touch panel and methods for forming the same

A vehicle includes a body of the vehicle and a sensing system coupled to the body. The sensing system includes optical componentry and a glass material, where the glass material at least in part houses the optical componentry and the glass material is at least partially transparent to light at the wavelength of the optical componentry. Further the glass material has mechanical and performance properties that allow the sensing system to be positioned particularly low on the vehicle, at a position that may be of higher risk for damage from debris.

Sensing system and glass material for vehicles

A glass article includes a glass core layer and a glass cladding layer adjacent to the core layer. A coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the core layer is greater than a CTE of the cladding layer. The core layer has a tensile stress, and the cladding layer has a compressive stress. A retained strength of the glass article is a strength determined after abrasion of an outer surface of the glass article with 1 mL of 90 grit SiC particles for 5 seconds at an abrasion pressure, and a ratio of the retained strength at an abrasion pressure of 25 psi to the retained strength at an abrasion pressure of 5 psi is at least about 0.3.

Glass article

A method of manufacturing a laminated glass article having a first clad layer, a second clad layer, and a core layer between the first clad layer and the second clad layer, by exposing an edge of the core layer. An etchant can be applied to the edge of the laminated glass article to form the recess. The recess can then be filled.

In some embodiments, a process comprises applying an adhesive layer to a substrate having a developable shape. The process further comprises initially applying a force to press a thin glass layer against the adhesive layer along a generation line. The generation line moves across the substrate to cold-form the thin glass layer into the shape of the substrate, while maintaining the application of force on areas of the substrate over which the generation line has passed. The application of force is maintained on areas of the substrate over which the generation line has passed until the adhesive cures.

Cold formed 3D cover glass articles and forming process to make the same

Embodiments of a glass laminate structure comprising a non-strengthened glass sheet, a strengthened glass sheet, and at least one polymer interlayer intermediate the external and internal glass sheets are disclosed. The strengthened glass sheet can have a thickness ranging from about 0.3 mm to about 1.5 mm, the non-strengthened glass sheet can have a thickness ranging from about 1.5 mm to about 3.0 mm, and the polymer interlayer can have a first edge with a first thickness and a second edge opposite the first edge with a second thickness greater than the first thickness. The glass laminate structures provide advantageous optical properties. The glass laminate structure can be employed to provide a transparent display screen that minimizes image offset between two images formed by two reflections at two surfaces of the strengthened internal glass sheet.

Glass laminate structures for head-up display system

A modular glass panel comprising a glass structure having at least one thin glass sheet having a thickness ranging from about 0.5 mm to about 2.0 mm, a backing frame positioned adjacent the glass structure and situated along the perimeter of the glass structure, and a polymer layer intermediate the glass structure and backing frame to adhere the glass structure together with the backing frame. The glass structure can further comprise the at least one thin glass sheet and a second glass sheet having a polymer interlayer therebetween. The backing frame generally has a geometric cross-section with a rounded interior edge adjacent the glass structure to prevent breakage of the structure upon loading or impact of an exterior surface of the structure.
