Abstract

A glass film laminate includes a carrier glass including a rough surface, a smooth surface surrounding the rough surface, the rough surface having a relatively large surface roughness and the smooth surface having a relatively small surface roughness, and a passage rough surface connected to the rough surface; and a glass film laminated on the rough surface and the smooth surface of the carrier glass.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A glass film laminate, comprising:
a carrier glass including:
a rough surface, the rough surface having a shape that is defined in plan view by sides that are all spaced apart from boundaries of the carrier glass;
a smooth surface surrounding the sides of the rough surface such that the smooth surface is between the boundaries of the carrier glass and sides of the rough surface, the rough surface having a relatively large surface roughness and the smooth surface having a relatively small surface roughness; and
a passage rough surface connected to one of the sides of the rough surface and extending between the side of the rough surface and a boundary of the carrier glass, a width of the passage rough surface where the passage rough surface connects to one of the sides of the rough surface being less than a width of the one of the sides of the rough surface; and

a glass film laminated on the rough surface and the smooth surface of the carrier glass.

2. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a surface roughness of the passage rough surface is substantially equal to a surface roughness of rough surface.

3. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the glass film is smaller than the carrier glass and larger than the rough surface, in a plan view.

4. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a boundary of the rough surface has a shape that is substantially a same shape as a boundary of the glass film.

5. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the rough surface and the passage rough surface have a plurality of peaks and recesses, and
a height of the peaks is less than or equal to a height of the smooth surface.

6. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface roughness (Ra) of the smooth surface is less than about 0.2 nm.

7. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface roughness (Ra) of the rough surface and the passage rough surface is greater than the surface roughness (Ra) of the smooth surface by about 0.3 nm.

8. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the passage rough surfaces are connected to the rough surface.

9. The glass film laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the width of the passage rough surface is gradually decreased from the one of the sides of the rough surface to the boundary of the carrier glass.

10. A method of manufacturing a glass film laminate, the method comprising:
forming a rough surface on a carrier glass, a passage rough surface connected to the rough surface, and a smooth surface surrounding the rough surface, the rough surface having a relatively large surface roughness, and the smooth surface having a relatively small surface roughness, wherein the rough surface has a shape that is defined in plan view by sides that are all spaced apart from boundaries of the carrier glass, the smooth surface surrounds the sides of the rough surface such that the smooth surface is between the boundaries of the carrier glass and sides of the rough surface, and the passage rough surface is connected to one of the sides of the rough surface and extends between the side of the rough surface and a boundary of the carrier glass, a width of the passage rough surface where the passage rough surface connects to one of the sides of the rough surface being less than a width of the one of the sides of the rough surface; and
laminating a glass film on the carrier glass on which the rough surface, the passage rough surface, and the smooth surface are formed.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein in forming the rough surface, the passage rough surface, and the smooth surface:
the rough surface and the passage rough surface having the relatively large surface roughness are formed by partially etching an upper surface of the carrier glass, and
a remaining portion of the upper surface that is not etched constitutes the smooth surface.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the passage rough surface extends from the rough surface to a boundary of the carrier glass.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the rough surface and the passage rough surface are formed by wet-etching using a hydrofluoric acid.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the glass film is smaller than the carrier glass and larger than the rough surface, in a plan view.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein forming the rough surface, the passage rough surface, and the smooth surface includes:
forming a rough surface layer and a passage rough surface layer to form the rough surface, the passage rough surface.

16. A method of manufacturing a glass film, the method comprising:
forming a rough surface on a carrier glass, a passage rough surface connected to the rough surface, and a smooth surface surrounding the rough surface, the rough surface having a relatively large surface roughness, and the smooth surface having a relatively small surface roughness, wherein the rough surface has a shape that is defined in plan view by sides that are all spaced apart from boundaries of the carrier glass, the smooth surface surrounds the sides of the rough surface such that the smooth surface is between the boundaries of the carrier glass and sides of the rough surface, and the passage rough surface is connected to one of the sides of the rough surface and extends between the side of the rough surface and a boundary of the carrier glass, a width of the passage rough surface where the passage rough surface connects to one of the sides of the rough surface being less than a width of the one of the sides of the rough surface;
forming a glass film laminate by laminating a glass film on the carrier glass on which the rough surface, the passage rough surface, and the smooth surface are formed;
processing the glass film laminate in a high temperature and low vacuum process; and
de-laminating the glass film from the glass film laminate.
