A glass-based flexible cover window comprising planar portions formed so as to correspond to planar regions of a flexible display and a folding portion formed so as to be connected to the planar portions, the folding portion being formed so as to correspond to a folding region of the flexible display, wherein
- the folding portion comprises a shock compensation pattern unit, and
- the shock compensation pattern unit has cylindrical patterns.
A method of manufacturing a glass-based flexible cover window comprising planar portions formed so as to correspond to planar regions of a flexible display and a folding portion formed so as to be connected to the planar portions, the folding portion being formed so as to correspond to a folding region of the flexible display, the method comprising:
- a first step of forming a resist layer on a glass substrate;
- a second step of patterning the resist layer to form a resist pattern layer for formation of a folding portion comprising a shock compensation pattern unit on the glass substrate;
- a third step of forming a folding portion comprising a shock compensation pattern unit between the planar portions using the resist pattern layer as a mask;
- a fourth step of removing the resist pattern layer;
- and
- a fifth step of strengthening the glass substrate.
