METHODS AND STRUCTURES FOR REDUCING BIAXIAL BENDING AND/OR TWISTING OF FLEXIBLE GLASS SUBSTRATES

摘要

A flexible glass structure includes a flexible glass substrate having a thickness of no more than about 0.3 mm. A stiffening layer is coupled to a surface of the flexible glass substrate. The stiffening layer includes at least one stiffening element extending along the surface of the flexible glass substrate in a running direction having a Young's modulus selected to provide a preferred bending axis of the flexible glass substrate in a direction substantially parallel to the running direction of the stiffening element.
