Abstract
A glass substrate unit includes a glass substrate and a glass deformation device for deforming the glass substrate. The glass substrate includes a thin portion and a thick portion, the thin portion having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, the thick portion having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface and having a sheet thickness larger than a sheet thickness of the thin portion. The glass deformation device deforms the glass substrate by moving one of the thin portion and the thick portion.
Claims40
A glass substrate unit, comprising:
- a glass substrate;
- and
- a glass deformation device that deforms the glass substrate,
- wherein the glass substrate comprises a thin portion, a thick portion having a sheet thickness larger than a sheet thickness of the thin portion, and a connection portion connecting the thin portion and the thick portion such that the thin portion and the connection portion are configured to be elastically deformed, the thin portion has a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side with respect to the first main surface, the thick portion has a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side with respect to the first main surface of the thick portion, the connection portion has a first connection surface and a second connection surface such that the first connection surface is connecting the first main surface of the thin portion and the first main surface of the thick portion and the second connection surface is connecting the second main surface of the thin portion and the second main surface of the thick portion and is forming a same plane with respect to the second main surface of the thin portion and the second main surface of the thick portion when the glass substrate is not elastically deformed, the glass deformation device deforms the glass substrate by moving one of the thin portion and the thick portion, and the first connection surface has an arc-shaped curved surface having a curvature radius of 400 μm or more.
