Abstract: A foldable electronic device module includes: a glass-containing cover element having a thickness from about (25) μm to about (200) μm, an elastic modulus from about (20) to (140) GPa, and first and second primary surfaces; a stack comprising: (a) an interlayer having an elastic modulus from about (0.01) to (10) GPa and a thickness from about 50 to (200) μm, and (b) a flexible substrate having a thickness from about (100) to (200) μm; and a first adhesive joining the stack to the cover element, and comprising an elastic modulus from about (0.001) to (10) GPa and a thickness from about (5) to (25) μm. Further, the module comprises an impact resistance characterized by tensile stresses of less than about (4100) MPa and less than about (8300) MPa at the first and second primary surfaces of the cover element, respectively, upon an impact in a Pen Drop Test.

Abstract: Foldable apparatus comprise a plurality of first portions and at least one second portion positioned between a corresponding adjacent pair of first portions of the plurality of first portions. Each second portion of the at least one second portion comprises a maximum Young’s modulus ranging from about 500 times to about 500,000 times less than a minimum Young’s modulus of the corresponding adjacent pair of first portions. In some embodiments, the at least one second portion comprises at least five second portions. In some embodiments, each second portion of the at least one second portion comprises a thickness ranging from about 10 micrometers to about 250 micrometers. In some embodiments, each first portion comprises a first neutral plane and each second portion comprises a second neutral plane. In some embodiments, an apparatus bend force ranges from about 0.5 times to about 1 times a total bend force.

Abstract: Foldable substrates comprise a substrate thickness from about 80 micrometers to about 2 millimeters. Foldable substrates comprise a first portion, a second portion, and a central portion positioned therebetween. The central portion comprises a central thickness from about 25 micrometers to about 80 micrometers defined between a first central surface area and a second central surface area. A central total thickness variation of the central portion over the first central surface area is less than or equal to 10 micrometers. The central portion comprises a first transition region extending between a first surface area of the first portion and the first central surface area. The first central surface area is recessed from the first major surface by a first distance. A thickness of the first transition region smoothly and monotonically decreases between the substrate thickness of the first portion and the central thickness of the central portion.
