Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A glass article includes lithium aluminosilicate, includes a first surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface, a first compressive region extending from the first surface to a first compression depth, a second compressive region extending from the second surface to a second compression depth, and, a tensile region disposed between the first compression depth and the second compression depth, where a stress profile of the first compressive region has a first local minimum point at which the stress profile is convex downward and a first local maximum point at which the stress profile is convex upward, where a depth of the first local maximum point is greater than a depth of the first local minimum point, and where a stress of the first local maximum point is greater than a compressive stress of the first local minimum point.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A glass article including lithium aluminosilicate, comprising: a first surface; a second surface opposed to the first surface; a first compressive region extending from the first surface to a first compression depth; a second compressive region extending from the second surface to a second compression depth; and a tensile region disposed between the first compression depth and the second compression depth, wherein a stress profile of the first compressive region includes a crack prevention zone including a peak, the crack prevention zone being disposed in a depth range of 30 micrometers to 70 micrometers, wherein the peak of the crack prevention zone has a maximum value in the depth range, a depth of the peak of the crack prevention zone has a value of 40 micrometers or more, a stress profile of the first compressive region has a first local minimum point at which the stress profile is convex downward, a depth of the first local minimum point is 0.24 times to 0.31 times the first compression depth, and the first compression depth ranges from 105 micrometers to 115 micrometers. 2 . The glass article of claim 1 , wherein a maximum stress in the crack prevention zone ranges from 262.2 Megapascals to 481.2 Megapascals. 3 . The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the crack prevention zone includes a plurality of peaks. 4 . An electronic device comprising a glass article including lithium aluminosilicate, comprising: a first surface; a second surface opposed to the first surface; a first compressive region extending from the first surface to a first compression depth; a second compressive region extending from the second surface to a second compression depth; and a tensile region disposed between the first compression depth and the second compression depth, wherein a stress profile of the first compressive region includes a crack prevention zone including a peak, the crack prevention zone being disposed in a depth range of 30 micrometers to 70 micrometers, wherein the peak of the crack prevention zone has a maximum value in the depth range, a depth of the peak of the crack prevention zone has a value of 40 micrometers or more, a stress profile of the first compressive region has a first local minimum point at which the stress profile is convex downward, a depth of the first local minimum point is 0.24 times to 0.31 times the first compression depth, and the first compression depth ranges from 105 micrometers to 115 micrometers.
