Abstract
A display apparatus includes a window member, a display module, and a photocured adhesive layer. The window member includes a base member and a bezel layer overlapping a partial region of a rear surface of the base member, the bezel layer including a photosensitive material having a reduced transmittance with an increased amount of irradiated light. The display module is disposed on the lower side of the window module. The photocured adhesive layer is configured to bind the window member to the display module, and overlaps with the bezel layer on a plane.
Claims7
A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, comprising:
- providing a light-transmittable, photocurable preliminary bezel layer on a surface of a base member, wherein the preliminary bezel layer overlaps a partial region of the base member and comprises a photosensitive material;
- providing a photocurable preliminary adhesive layer on a surface of a display module or on the surface of the base member;
- contacting the base member and the display module such that the photocurable preliminary adhesive layer overlaps the preliminary bezel layer, and the photocurable preliminary adhesive layer is disposed between the surface of the base member and the surface of the display module;
- and
- then irradiating light on a surface of the preliminary bezel layer which is opposite to the surface of the base member such that the preliminary bezel layer is cured to form a bezel layer having a predetermined transmittance and the photocurable preliminary adhesive layer is cured to form an optically clear adhesive layer which adheres the base member to the surface of the display module,
- wherein during the irradiating of light on the preliminary bezel layer the light is simultaneously irradiated on the photocurable preliminary adhesive layer, and
- wherein the photocurable preliminary adhesive layer is completely cured to form the optically clear adhesive layer before the preliminary bezel layer is completely cured to form the bezel layer.
