Abstract:
1. A method of forming a cover glass element for an electronic device, comprising: obtaining a first glass sheet having a specified thickness and a specified flatness; scoring a second glass sheet with a laser according to a scoring pattern; etching the second glass sheet to create a plurality of through-holes, each through-hole corresponding in size and shape to a portion of an electronic device; bringing the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet into contact in a determined orientation, wherein a surface of the second glass sheet is in substantial contact with a surface of the first glass sheet; heating the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet to a temperature and with a pressure to cause the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet to thermally bond together to form a single cover sheet; and machining the single cover sheet to form a plurality of cover glass elements each having a first planar region of the specified thickness and the specified flatness and at least one edge region from at least a portion of the second glass sheet.
