STRENGTHENED COVER LENS AND METHOD FOR STRENGTHENING COVER LENS
First Claim
1. A strengthened cover lens, comprising:
- a substrate, comprising;
an upper surface;
a lower surface substantially parallel to the upper surface;
a side surface located between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the side surface being substantially perpendicular to the upper surface and the lower surface;
an upper chamfer surface formed between the upper surface and the side surface and the upper chamfer surface being adjacent the side surface;
a concave portion formed between the upper surface and the upper chamfer surface; and
a protection layer covering at least the concave portion and the upper chamfer surface.

Abstract
A strengthened cover lens is disclosed to include a substrate, including an upper surface, a lower surface substantially parallel to the upper surface, a side surface located between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the side surface being substantially perpendicular to the upper surface and the lower surface, an upper chamfer surface formed between the upper surface and the side surface and the upper chamfer surface being adjacent the side surface, a concave portion formed between the upper surface and the upper chamfer surface, and a protection layer covering at least the concave portion and the upper chamfer surface, and a method for strengthening a cover lens being durable for abrasive condition by rigid body such as metal in common use is also provided.

10. A method for strengthening a cover lens, the method comprising:
-
providing a substrate, the substrate comprising an upper surface, a lower surface substantially parallel to the upper surface, and a side surface locating adjacent to the upper surface and the lower surface, and substantially perpendicular to the upper surface and the lower surface; forming an upper chamfer surface between the upper surface and the side surface; covering acid-resistant layers on the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein the acid-resistant layer on the upper surface have defined a region for a concave portion on the edge of the upper surface which is predetermined to be etched; acid-etching the upper surface of the glass article to form a concave portion between the upper surface and the upper chamfer surface; and coating a protection layer to cover at least the concave portion and the side surface using a coating source in a coating direction. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
