Window member and display device including the same

A window member comprising:

• a first base member having a first storage modulus, and a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first base member being bendable with respect to a bending axis extending in a first direction;
• an impact absorbing layer disposed on the first surface of the first base member to contact the first surface of the first base member and having a second storage modulus that is less than the first storage modulus of the first base member;
• a first hard coating layer disposed on the impact absorbing layer to contact a surface of the impact absorbing layer;
• a second hard coating layer disposed on the second surface of the first base member;
• and
• a second base member disposed between the first base member and the second hard coating layer,
• wherein the first surface of the first base member contacts the impact absorbing layer, and the second surface of the first base member contacts a layer that is different from the impact absorbing layer.

A display device comprising:

• a display module having a top surface configured to display an image and a rear surface that is opposite to the top surface;
• and
• a window member disposed on the top surface of the display module,
• wherein the window member comprises:
• a first hard coating layer disposed on the top surface;
• an impact absorbing layer disposed on the first hard coating layer;
• a first base member having a first surface and a second surface, and disposed on the impact absorbing layer;
• and
• a second hard coating layer disposed on the first base member,
• wherein a ratio of a thickness of the impact absorbing layer to a thickness of the first base member is equal to or greater than 1.0 and equal to or less than 1.67,
• wherein the first surface of the first base member contacts the impact absorbing layer, and the second surface of the first base member contacts a layer that is different from the impact absorbing layer, and
• wherein the first hard coating layer contacts a surface of the impact absorbing layer.
