Abstract
The present disclosure relates to bendable elements. The bendable elements can be used in display covers for electronic devices such as smart phones. The elements have reduced delayed elastic deformation or creep when released from the influence of persistent mechanical stresses, e.g. unfolded from a folded position. The present disclosure also relates to covers for color filters, filter printed electronics, sensors for touch control panels, fingerprint sensors, mobile electronic devices, bendable/foldable displays that include the bendable elements as substrates, or other applications where a combination of high chemical stability, temperature stability, low gas permeability, flexibility, high strength, low thickness and premium cosmetic appearance is necessary. Besides consumer and industrial electronics the present disclosure could also be used for protection applications in industrial production or metrology.
