US Patent 12012357 Ion exchange processes and chemically strengthened glass substrates resulting therefrom

A method of performing ion exchange of a thin, flexible glass substrate having an average thickness equal to or less than about 0.3 mm to chemically strengthen the glass substrate is disclosed. The chemically strengthened glass substrate comprises a first compressive stress layer having a first depth of layer, and a second compressive stress layer having a second depth of layer, the first and second stress layers being separated by a layer of tensile stress. A laminated article comprising the chemically strengthened glass substrate is also described.
