SHAPED GLASS ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A SHAPED GLASS ARTICLE

摘要

A shaped glass article and a method for producing it are provided. The article is ultrathin and has two surfaces and one or more edges joining the two surfaces, and a thickness between the two surfaces. The article has at least one curved area with a non-vanishing surface curvature with a minimal curvature radius R if no external forces are applied. The method comprises providing an ultrathin glass with two surfaces and one or more edges joining the two surfaces, having a thickness between the two surfaces and shaping the ultrathin glass to a shaped ultrathin glass article by forming at least one curved area having a non-vanishing surface curvature with a minimal curvature radius R if no external forces are applied to the shaped ultrathin glass article.
