Abstract
A cover window includes a base layer including a bending portion bent about a bending axis extending in one direction, a first flat portion, and a second flat portion spaced apart from the first flat portion with the bending portion interposed therebetween in a direction crossing the one direction and facing each other and a first coating portion disposed on the bending portion and having a first modulus less than a modulus of the base layer.
Claims20
A cover window comprising:
- a base layer comprising a bending portion bent about a bending axis extending in one direction, a first flat portion, and a second flat portion spaced apart from the first flat portion with the bending portion interposed therebetween in a direction crossing the one direction and facing each other;
- and
- a first coating portion disposed on the bending portion and having a first modulus less than a modulus of the base layer.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel comprising a bending area bent about a bending axis extending in one direction, a first flat area, and a second flat area spaced apart from the first flat area with the bending area interposed therebetween in a direction crossing the one direction and facing each other;
- a cover window disposed on the display panel;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed between the display panel and the cover window, and the cover window comprising:
- a base layer comprising a first flat portion corresponding to the first flat area, a bending portion corresponding to the bending area, and a second flat portion corresponding to the second flat area;
- and
- a first coating portion disposed on the bending portion and having a first modulus less than a modulus of the base layer.

A method of manufacturing a cover window, the method comprising:
- inserting a base layer into a supporter, wherein the base layer comprises a bending portion bent about a bending axis extending in one direction, a first flat portion, and a second flat portion spaced apart from the first flat portion with the bending portion interposed therebetween in a direction crossing the one direction and facing each other, and the supporter exposes an upper surface of the bending portion and covers an upper surface of the first and second flat portions;
- providing a coating portion on the base layer to overlap the bending portion by spraying a composition on the exposed upper surface of the bending portion;
- and
- separating the base layer, on which the coating portion is provided, from the supporter.
