Abstract:
1. A method for processing a glass member suitable for use in a handheld electronic device, the method comprising: obtaining the glass member, the glass member having at least one surface, the at least one surface including a top surface; chemically strengthening the glass member, wherein chemically strengthening the glass member increases roughness associated with the at least one surface; selectively applying a first non-contact polishing process to a portion of the top surface of the glass member after chemically strengthening the glass member, wherein applying the first non-contact polishing process reduces the roughness associated with selected areas of the at least one surface; and polishing non-selected areas of the at least one surface using a second non-contact polishing process, wherein a composition of the first non-contact polishing process is different from a composition of the second non-contact polishing process.
