A cover window includes a lower surface and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface. The upper surface includes: a center area extending in a first direction and being spaced apart from the lower surface by a first interval in a thickness direction; a first curved area extending in a curved shape from a first side of the center area; and a first area extending from the first curved area in the first direction and being spaced apart from the lower surface by a second interval in the thickness direction; and the first curved area includes a first partial area concavely extending from the center area and a second partial area convexly extending from the first partial area in a cross-sectional view.

Cover window, method of manufacturing the cover window, and display device

A method of manufacturing a window may include cutting a window having a uniform thickness of about 20 μm to about 100 μm and polishing a cut surface of the window with a polishing pad having an elastic modulus less than an elastic modulus of the window while applying slurry to the cut surface of the window.

Method of manufacturing window and window for display device

A cover window includes a base layer including a first flat portion and a first bending portion bent from a first end of the first flat portion and a coating layer including a first coating portion disposed on the first flat portion and a second coating portion disposed on the first bending portion and having a thickness less than a thickness of the first coating portion. A first end of the second coating portion has a thickness greater than a thickness of a second end of the second coating portion, and the first end of the second coating portion is closer to the first coating portion than the second end of the second coating portion is.

Cover window, method of manufacturing the same, and display device including the cover window

A display device includes a display panel including a bending area and a non-bending area adjacent to the bending area, a base substrate disposed under the display panel and including a through-hole overlapping the bending area, a conductive part filling the through-hole, a flexible printed circuit board including a first surface connected to the conductive part and second a surface opposite to the first surface, a first film contacting the first surface of the flexible printed circuit board overlapping the non-bending area, and a protection member contacting an upper surface of the first film.

Display device

A method of manufacturing a window includes preparing a base material layer, forming a first hard coating layer on the base material layer, and forming a second hard coating layer on the first hard coating layer. The forming of the second hard coating layer is performed in an environment having an oxygen concentration of about 0.01% to about 0.1%.

Method of manufacturing window for a display device

A method for manufacturing a display device includes providing a first display device assembly comprising a display module, a first window disposed on the display module, a first window adhesive layer disposed between the display module and the first window, and a first protective layer disposed on the first window. The first protective layer is removed. The first window is removed by providing an acid solution on the first display device assembly. A second window is provided that is disposed on the display module after the first window is removed. A second protective layer is provided that is disposed on the second window after the first protective layer is removed.

Method for manufacturing a display device
