Abstract
A window includes a base substrate defining a recess and a functional layer disposed in the recess of the base substrate. The functional layer is disposed in a first recess defined in a top surface of the base substrate.
Claims19
A window comprising:
- a base substrate facing a display panel, the base substrate including:
- a transmission area, and
- a light blocking area adjacent to the transmission area with a boundary therebetween,
- the base substrate defining a first recess which corresponds to the transmission area and is open in a direction away from the display panel, the display panel being outside of the first recess, and
- a functional layer which is in the first recess,
- wherein the functional layer which is in the first recess both:
- includes an anti-glare layer, an anti-reflection layer, an anti-fouling layer or an anti-fingerprint layer, and
- has a hardness greater than a hardness of the base substrate.

A display device comprising:
- a display panel;
- and
- a window disposed on the display panel,
- wherein
- the window comprises:
- a base substrate including a transmission area, and a light blocking area which is adjacent to the transmission area with a boundary therebetween,
- the base substrate defining a first recess which corresponds to the transmission area and is open in a direction away from the display panel, the display panel being outside of the first recess,
- a functional layer in the first recess, and
- the functional layer which is in the first recess includes an anti-glare layer, an anti-reflection layer, an anti-fouling layer or an anti-fingerprint layer, and
- a hardness of the window at the light blocking area is lower than a hardness of the window at the functional layer in the first recess.

A display device comprising:
- a display panel;
- and
- a window disposed on the display panel,
- wherein the window comprises:
- a base substrate including a transmission area, and a light blocking area which is adjacent to the transmission area with a boundary therebetween,
- the base substrate defining corresponding to the transmission area:
- a top surface which is furthest from the display panel,
- a first recess extended from the top surface of the base substrate and open in a direction away from the display panel, and
- a second recess open in a direction toward the display panel, the display panel being outside of the first recess and the second recess,
- a functional layer which is in the first recess, the functional layer which is in the recess including an anti-glare layer, an anti-reflection layer, an anti-fouling layer or an anti-fingerprint layer and having a top surface which is furthest from the display panel,
- a flat top surface of the window defined by a top surface of the base substrate at the light blocking area, together with a top surface of the functional layer at the transmission area, and
- an anti-scattering layer in the second recess.
