DISPLAY AREA HAVING TILES WITH IMPROVED EDGE STRENGTH AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

Abstract:

A method of making a display area and a glass tile as well as a display area that includes the glass tile. Prior to assembling the glass tile into the array, an edge treatment is performed on the glass tile, the edge treatment increasing an edge strength of the glass tile, as measured by the four point bend test, to at least about 200 MPa. The edge treatment can, for example, include at least one of plasma jet treatment and protective material application.
