Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for increasing the strength of glass articles are disclosed. The strengthened glass articles are well suited for use in consumer products, such as consumer electronic devices (e.g., portable electronic devices). For example, a glass article can pertain to a glass cover for a housing of an electronic device, such as a portable electronic device. In one embodiment, techniques are described for selectively strengthening glass articles. In another embodiment, use of multi-bath chemical processing to facilitate controlled chemical strengthening for a glass article is described. Through multi-bath (or multi-step) chemical processing, differing levels of strengthening can be achieved for different portions of glass articles. Accordingly, glass articles that have undergone strengthening processing are able to be not only thin but also sufficiently strong and resistant to damage.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for improving strength of a thin glass member for an electronic device are disclosed. In one embodiment, the glass member can have improved strength characteristics in accordance with a predetermined stress profile. The predetermined stress profile can be formed through multiple stages of chemical strengthening. The stages can, for example, have a first ion exchange stage where larger ions are exchanged into the glass member, and a second ion exchange stage where some of the larger ions are exchanged out from the glass member. In one embodiment, the glass member can pertain to a glass cover for a housing for an electronic device. The glass cover can be provided over or integrated with a display.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for improving chemical strengthening behavior in glass members are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for processing a glass part formed using a fusion process or a float process includes annealing the glass part and then chemically strengthening the glass part. Annealing the glass part includes at least heating the glass part at a first temperature, maintaining the first temperature, and cooling the glass part to a second temperature using a controlled cooling process. Chemically strengthening the glass part includes facilitating an ion exchange between ions included in the glass part and ions included in a chemical strengthening bath.

Abstract: An input device for providing dynamic displays is disclosed. The input device can modify the appearance and/or location of graphics associated with an input area of a device. For example, the input device can have a button layout that shifts based on the orientation of the electronic device relative to the user, such that the button layout is consistently presented to the user in an upright orientation. The input device can rotate and/or rename a button input area region depending on the context of an application running on the electronic device. The input device can display dynamic graphic content in an input area which is distinct from a display screen of the electronic device.
