Summary:A strengthened glass article having a central tension that is below a threshold value above which the glass exhibits frangible behavior. The central tension varies non-linearly with the thickness of the glass. The glass may be used as a cover plate or window for portable or mobile electronic devices such as cellular phones and the like. L'article en verre renforcé ci-décrit présente une tension centrale qui est inférieure à une valeur de seuil au-dessus de laquelle le verre manifeste un comportement frangible. La tension centrale varie de manière non linéaire avec l'épaisseur du verre. Le verre peut être utilisé comme couvercle ou fenêtre pour des dispositifs électroniques portables ou mobiles tels que des téléphones cellulaires et autres.
