Zusammenfassung:	A method for cutting a flexible glass ribbon includes directing the flexible glass ribbon to a flexible glass cutting apparatus including a laser. The flexible glass ribbon includes a first broad surface and a second broad surface that extend between a first edge and a second edge of the flexible glass ribbon. A laser beam is directed from the laser onto a region of the flexible glass ribbon. A crack is formed through the flexible glass ribbon using the laser beam. The crack is propagated along the flexible glass ribbon using the laser beam and a local mechanical deformation in the flexible glass ribbon. L'invention concerne un procédé de découpage d'un ruban de verre flexible, qui consiste à diriger le ruban de verre flexible vers un appareil de découpe de verre flexible comprenant un laser. Le ruban de verre flexible comprend une première surface large et une seconde surface large qui s'étendent entre un premier bord et un second bord du ruban de verre flexible. Un faisceau laser est dirigé depuis le laser sur une région du ruban de verre flexible. Une fissure est formée dans le ruban de verre flexible à l'aide du faisceau laser. La fissure se propage le long du ruban de verre flexible en utilisant le faisceau laser et une déformation mécanique locale dans le ruban de verre flexible.
