1. A cover glass and frame system for a vehicle interior system comprising:
a frame comprising a first frame surface, a second frame surface opposing the first frame surface, and a frame edge with a thickness defined as the distance between the first frame surface and the second frame surface, a frame width defined as a first dimension of one of the first or second frame surfaces orthogonal to the frame thickness, and a frame length defined as a second dimension of one of the first or second frame surfaces orthogonal to both the frame thickness and the frame width; a frame opening extending from the first frame surface to the second frame surface and surrounded by an interior surface connecting the first frame surface and the second frame surface;
a glass substrate disposed on and attached to the first frame surface, the glass substrate comprising a first major surface, a second major surface opposing the first major surface and a minor surface connecting the first major surface and the second major surface with a thickness defined as a distance between the first major surface and the second major surface, a width defined as a first dimension of one of the first or second major surfaces orthogonal to the thickness, and a length defined as a second dimension of one of the first or second major surfaces orthogonal to both the thickness and the width, and wherein the width of the glass substrate is equal to or greater than the frame width, the length of the glass substrate is equal to or greater than the frame length, and the thickness is 1.5 mm or less,
a display module disposed in the frame opening within the interior surface, wherein the display module has a display width that is less than the frame width or a display length that is less than the frame length,
an optically clear adhesive disposed between the display module and the glass substrate,
wherein the glass substrate completely covers the frame opening; and
wherein the first frame surface has a frame radius of curvature in a range from about 20 mm to about 1500 mm, and the glass substrate has a first radius of curvature that is within 10% of the frame radius of curvature.
