DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0051] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, embodiments of the present disclosure can be modified to various different forms and a scope of the present disclosure should not be construed as to be limited by embodiments described hereinafter. Embodiments of the present disclosure should be construed as to be provided to more fully describe the present disclosure to those having ordinary skill in the art. The same reference numerals may refer to the same elements throughout the accompanying figures. Further, various elements and regions in figures are schematically drawn. Thus, the present disclosure is not limited by a relative size or spacing drawn in the attached figures.

[0052] FIG. 1A is a plan view of a glass laminate 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. IB is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of FIG. 1A. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a glass structure 120 included in the glass laminate 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] Referring to FIGS. 1A through 2, the glass laminate 100 may include a substrate 110, an adhesive layer 130 on the substrate 110, and the glass structure 120 on the adhesive layer 130. The substrate 110 may have an arbitrary shape and be made of an arbitrary material. The glass structure 120 may include a glass layer 121. The glass layer 121 may include, for example, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, aluminoborosilicate glass, alkali(or alkali-free)-aluminosilicate glass, alkali(or alkali-free)-borosilicate glass, alkali(or alkali-free)-aluminoborosilicate glass, or soda lime glass, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the glass structure 120 may be only comprised of the glass layer 121. In other embodiments, the glass structure 120 may further include another layer. For example, the glass structure 120 may further include an additional layer 123 attached to the glass layer 121. The additional layer 123 may be attached to the glass layer 121 via a glass adhesive layer 122. Although FIG. 2 illustrates that the glass structure 120 includes only one additional layer 123, the glass structure 120 may include more than one additional layer 123. The additional layer 123 may include arbitrary material. In some embodiments, the additional layer 123 may include steel. The glass adhesive layer 122 may include arbitrary material for attaching the additional layer 123 to the glass layer 121. The glass adhesive layer 122 may include, for example, an optically clear adhesive (OCA).

[0054] The adhesive layer 130 may partially cover a main surface of the substrate 110 facing the glass structure 120. That is, the adhesive layer 130 may not completely cover the main surface of the substrate 110 facing the glass structure 120. For example, the adhesive layer 130 may cover about 1 % to about 99 % of the area of the main surface of the substrate 110. For example, the adhesive layer 130 may cover about 1 % to about 40 % of the area of the main surface of the substrate 110. In other words, the adhesive layer 130 may partially fill the space between the substrate 110 and the glass structure 120. In some embodiments, a space S between the substrate 110 and the glass structure 120, the space S not being filled by the adhesive layer 130, may be filled with air. In other embodiments, the space S between the substrate 110 and the glass structure 120, the space S not being filled by the adhesive layer 130, may be filled with materials other than air. The adhesive layer 130 may include arbitrary material and may have arbitrary shape. For example, the adhesive layer 130 may include a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). In some embodiments, an elastic modulus of the adhesive layer 130 may be greater than 0 MPa and equal to or less than about 1 MPa, but it is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, a thickness t of the adhesive layer 130 may be about 0.06 mm to about 0.5 mm, but it is not limited thereto.

[0055] As such, due to partial attachment of the substrate 110 and the glass structure

120, deflection of the glass laminate 100 due to heat or water may be reduced. In some embodiments, deflection of the glass laminate 100 may be reduced to a value equal to or less than 3 mm/m. Although it is not limited to a particular theory, the reduction of deflection may be at least partly based on increased circulation of air and water. Also, the reduction of deflection may be at least partly based on reduced delivery of stress due to reduced adhesive force.

[0056] FIG. 3 A is a plan view of a glass laminate 100a according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB' of FIG. 3 A.

[0057] Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, an adhesive layer may include a plurality of portions that are apart from each other, for example, a first portion 130a and a second portion 130b. However, unlike it is illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the adhesive layer may include more than two portions. Also, although it is illustrated that each of the first and second portions 130a and 130b has a square shape, each of the first and second portions 130a and 130b may have a arbitrary shape, such as a triangular shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, a hexagonal shape, or a more complex shape.

[0058] In some embodiments, when 3 points bending model is used, in order that a deflection f of the glass structure 120 is equal to or less than an acceptable limit, a distance Li2 between the first portion 130a and the second portion 130b of the adhesive layer may be equal to or less than a value L m ax (unit: mm) obtained by the following formula:

[0059] Here, E is an elastic modulus (unit: MPa=N/mm 2 ) of the glass structure 120, ti is a thickness (unit: mm) of the glass structure 120, f is an acceptable limit (unit: mm) of deflection of the glass structure 120 due to a weight of the glass structure 120, and d is a density (unit: kg/mm 3 ) of the glass structure 120. In some embodiments, the elastic modulus E of the glass structure 120 may be greater than 0 MPa and equal to or less than about 200 GPa, but it is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the thickness ti of the glass strucutre 120 may be greater than about 0 mm and equal to or less than about 50 mm, but it is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the density d of the glass structure 120 may be greater than O x 10 6 kg/mm 3 and equal to or less than 10 x lO -6 kg/mm 3 , but it is not limited thereto. The actual deflection f of the glass structure 120 has to be equal to or less than the acceptable limit of deflection of the glass structure 120. When the actual deflection f of the glass structure 120 is greater than the acceptable limit of the defelction of the glass structure 120, cracks may occur in the glass structure 120, the glass structure 120 may be damaged, or the glass structure 120 may contact the substrate 110. In some meobdiments, the acceptable limit f of the deflection of the glass structure 120 due to the weight of the glass structure 120 may be less than the thickness t of the adhesive layer 130. Herein, a distance between a first object and a second object may be a distance between a surface of the first object and a surface of the second object along a line extending between the center of gravity of the first object and the center of gravity of the second object.

[0085] The ratio R of the total area of the adhesive layer to the area of the main surface of the substrate 110 may be greater than 0 and equal to or less than about 50 %, for example, about 5 % to about 40 %. However, the ratio R of the total area of the adhesive layer to the area of the main surface of the substrate 110 is not limited thereto.

The area of the substrate 110 is 600 mm x 150 mm, the area of each of portions of an adhesive layer 130' is 46.2 mm x 11.55 mm, a first spacing Gi' is 56.56 mm, a second spacing G2' is 86.90 mm, and the ratio of the total area of the adheive layaer 130' to the area of the substrate 110 is 10 %.

Referring to FIG. 13, data points of the glass laminates lOOj and 100k according to the first and second embodiments are nearer to a line indicating the deflection of 0 than data points of the glass laminate according to the comparative embodiment, and thus, it may be recognized that the glass laminates lOOj and 100k according to the first and second embodiments have less deflection than the glass laminate according to the comparative embodiment.
