Abstract

A glass article includes a first glass substrate having a No. 1 surface and a No. 2 surface opposite the No. 1 surface, a second glass substrate opposed from the first glass substrate, the second glass substrate having a No. 3 surface that faces towards the No. 2 surface and a No. 4 surface opposite the No. 3 surface, and a display positioned between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate.

Claims (13)

1 . A method for manufacturing a laminated glass article comprising a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate opposed from the first glass substrate, a first interlayer positioned between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, and a second interlayer positioned between the second glass substrate and the first interlayer, the method comprising:

positioning a middle interlayer between the first interlayer and the second interlayer to yield a stacked article;

removing air from the stacked article for a predetermined period of time;

heating the stacked article to a temperature between approximately 200° F. and approximately 300° F. for a second predetermined period of time;

heating the stacked article to a second temperature between approximately 200° F. and approximately 300° F. for a third predetermined period of time; and

subjecting the stacked article to a pressure between approximately 150PSI and approximately 200PSI for a fourth predetermined period of time.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more of the first interlayer, the second interlayer, and the middle interlayer comprises polyurethane.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined period of time is about 10 minutes to about 30 minutes.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second predetermined period of time is about 15 minutes to about 45 minutes.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the third predetermined period of time is about 20 minutes to about 40 minutes.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the fourth predetermined period of time is approximately the same as the third predetermined period of time.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature is between approximately 220° F. and approximately 260° F.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second temperature is between approximately 220° F. and approximately 250° F.
