Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a protection member, a display apparatus and a method of manufacturing the display apparatus. The protection member includes a protective film including a first layer having a central area, a first side area extended to a first edge of the central area, a second side area intersecting the first edge of the central area, and a corner area extended between the first side area and the second side area, and a second layer arranged on the first layer and exposing at least a portion of the corner area of the first layer; and a shielding member shielding the at least the portion of the corner area exposed.
Claims33
A protection member comprising:
- a protective film comprising:
- a first layer having:
- a central area;
- a first side area extended to a first edge of the central area;
- a second side area intersecting the first edge of the central area;
- and
- a corner area extended between the first side area and the second side area;
- and
- a second layer arranged on the first layer and including a groove exposing at least
- a portion of the corner area of the first layer in a plan view;
- and
- a shielding member shielding the at least the portion of the corner area that is exposed.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a protective film comprising:
- a first layer having:
- a central area;
- a side area extended to an edge of the central area;
- and
- a corner area that extends from a corner of the central area and is bent at a first curvature radius;
