Abstract: Foldable apparatus comprise a foldable substrate foldable about an axis and a substrate thickness defined between a first major surface and a second major surface. The foldable substrate comprises a central portion positioned between a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprising a substrate thickness. The central portion comprises a central thickness that is less than the substrate thickness. In some embodiments, a width of central portion is about 45 millimeters or less. Methods of making a foldable apparatus comprise forming a recess in a first major surface of the foldable substrate. In some embodiments, methods comprise chemically strengthening the foldable substrate.

Abstract: Foldable apparatus can comprise a foldable substrate comprising a substrate thickness and a central portion positioned between a first portion and a second portion. The central portion can comprise a central thickness less than the substrate thickness. A first maximum tensile stress of a first tensile stress region in the first portion and a second maximum tensile stress of the second tensile stress region in the second portion can be less than a third maximum tensile stress of a central tensile stress region in the central portion. Ribbons can comprise a ribbon thickness and a central portion positioned between a first portion and a second portion. The central portion can comprise a first central compressive stress region and a second central compressive stress region. In some embodiments, methods of processing a ribbon can comprise masking the first portion, masking the second portion, and chemically strengthening the central portion.
