A method of repairing a glass of a display device includes disposing the glass including a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a scratch formed on the first surface, the scratch facing toward a gravitational direction, disposing a heating plate on the first surface of the glass, and irradiating a laser on the second surface. A transmittance rate of the laser passing through the glass is greater than an absorption rate of the laser being absorbed in the glass. A portion of the laser irradiated to the second surface reaches the heating plate. The laser reaching the heating plate generates heat. Heat is transmitted to the glass. A portion of the glass adjacent to the scratch is melted by the heat. The portion of the melted glass fills the scratch.

Method of repairing glass for display device

A cover window includes a plastic layer and a first hard coating layer disposed on an upper surface of the plastic layer. An edge of the cover window includes a vertical side part perpendicular to the upper surface of the plastic layer. A first inclination part is connected to the vertical side part and is inclined with respect to the vertical side part. The vertical side part and the first inclination part include a mechanical processing trace. An edge of the first hard coating layer adjacent to the first inclination part includes a laser processing trace.

A display apparatus includes a display panel configured to display an image; a window disposed on the display panel and including a transmission area transmitting the image and a non-transmission area adjacent to the transmission area; and a case member configured to receive the display panel and coupled to the window. The window includes a substantially flat base member and a protective member disposed on the base member. The protective member includes a first portion overlapping the non-transmission area and having a first upper surface. The first upper surface is curved. The protective member also includes a second portion overlapping the transmission area and connected to the first portion.
