- the 3D cover glass has an inside surface and an outside surface.
- inside surface 210 and outside surface 212 are indicated in Fig. 2.
- Fig. 1 shows an inside surface 106 and an outside surface 108.
- Each surface is smooth, and this smoothness can be characterized by surface roughness.
- the inside and outside surfaces have different surface roughness.
- the average surface roughness (R a ) of each surface of the 3D cover glass is less than 1 nm.
- the average surface roughness of each surface of the 3D cover glass is less than 0.7 nm. In some embodiments, the average surface roughness (R a ) of each surface of the 3D cover glass is less than 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3,
- the average surface roughness (R a ) of at least one of the surfaces of the 3D cover glass is less than 0.3 nm. In some embodiments, the average surface roughness (R a ) of at least one of the surfaces of the 3D cover glass is less than 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4,

- the surface roughness of the inside and outside surfaces may be the same or different. The latter may be the case, for example, if the 3D cover glass is made by a mold and only one of the surfaces comes into contact with the mold during forming of the 3D cover glass. Typically, the surface of the 3D cover glass contacting the mold will be the outside surface. However, it is possible to design the mold such that the surface of the 3D cover glass not contacting the mold will be the outside surface.
- Fig. 3A shows a surface roughness profile 300 of a first surface of a 3D cover glass that came into contact with a mold during forming of the 3D cover glass.

- PV peak-to- valley departure
- rms root mean square
- R a average surface roughness
- the average surface roughness (R a ) of these samples range from 0.4 nm to 0.7 nm. It is noted that the surface roughness of the first surface of the 3D glass article in Fig. 3A is comparable to the surface roughness achieved by machining. Fig. 4 shows a surface roughness of a flat pristine fusion formed glass. The average surface roughness (R a ) of the flat glass is 0.2651. It is noted that the surface roughness of the second surface of the 3D glass article in Fig. 3B is comparable to the surface roughness of the flat glass. [0037] The surface roughness may be a function of the process of making the 2D glass or the 3D shaping process, and may also be affected by post processing, such as polishing. In some embodiments, the 3D cover glass is not subjected to post processing or has the roughness profile as described above prior to any post processing.
- the as-formed quality of the 3D cover glass would be as good as the glass sheet from which it is formed.
- this surface quality is achieved without further rework or polishing of the as-formed surface.
- Defects include, but are not limited to, indentations (or dimples - depressions in the glass surface), surface checks/cracks, blisters, chips, cords, dice, observable crystals, laps, seeds, stones, and stria.
- the surfaces of the 3D cover glass are essentially flawless.
- essentially flawless it is meant that there are no indentations (or dimples) larger than 150 ⁇ in diameter, as measured by an optical microscopy technique, in the surfaces.
- essentially flawless further comprises that there are no additional defects observable by the unaided human eye at 1000 lux on any of the surfaces.
- the 3D cover glass is transparent and has an optical transmission greater than 85% in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm. In some embodiments, the 3D cover glass is transparent and has an optical transmission greater than 75%, 80%, 85%, 87%, 90%, 93%, or 95% in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm.
- Fig. 5 shows a transmission profile 500 of an example 3D cover glass. Also shown in Fig. 5 is a delta profile 502 that represents the percent difference between the transmission of the 3D cover glass and a 2D fusion-formed glass.
- a coating may be deposited on a surface of the 3D cover glass to make a portion of the 3D cover glass semi-transparent or opaque.
- the portion of the 3D cover glass in which the coating is not deposited can be a clear aperture on the front cover glass section, which would allow for viewing of and interaction with an electronic device display.
- Another aspect comprises the resistance of the 3D cover glass to damage.
- a number of processes, such as tempering, increase the ability of a glass substrate to sustain shock and stress without being damaged.
- the 3D cover glass (or the 2D glass sheet used in making the 3D cover glass) can be subjected to a strengthening process to achieve the compressive stress that is greater than 300 MPa.
- the glass is chemically or thermally tempered.

- This glass composition is described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/503,734 by Matthew J. Dejneka et al, entitled "Ion Exchangeable Glass with High Compressive Stress," filed July 1, 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- glass compositions besides those mentioned above and besides alkali-aluminosilicate glass composition may be used for the 3D cover glass.
- alkali-aluminoborosilicate glass compositions may be used for the 3D cover glass.
- the glass compositions used are ion-exchangeable glass compositions, which are generally glass compositions containing small alkali or alkaline-earth metals ions that can be exchanged for large alkali or alkaline-earth metal ions. Additional examples of ion-exchangeable glass compositions may be found in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,666,511 (Ellison et al; 20 November 2008), 4,483,700 (Forker, Jr.
- the 3D cover glass is made by thermal reforming from a 2D glass sheet as already described above.
- the 2D glass sheet is extracted from a pristine sheet of glass formed by a fusion process. The pristine nature of the glass may be preserved up until the glass is subjected to a strengthening process, such as an ion-exchange chemical strengthening process.
