Abstract

There is provided a film having use of impact absorption capable of protecting a panel from impacts when the impacts are given to a display device, a window since it has an excellent ability to absorb impacts given to a surface of a display device, a window, or equivalent base plates. The impact absorption layer having a thickness of 30 μm or more has a hardness of 20 to 100 as measured at a room temperature using an Asker C hardness tester. Also, the film having use of impact absorption has excellent impact resistance and includes at least one layer, wherein the film includes at least one impact absorption layer having a hardness of 20 to 100 as measured at a room temperature using an Asker C hardness tester, the impact absorption layer having the total thickness of 30 μm or more.

Claims (10)

1. An impact absorption layer used in a film for protection of a display panel,

wherein the impact absorption layer has a thickness of 30 μm or more, has a hardness of 20 to 100 as measured at a room temperature using an Asker C hardness tester, and comprises micro bubbles and at least one selected from the group consisting of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), acryl-based compound, urethane-based compound, urethane acrylate-based compound, silicon-based compound, and rubber-based compound;

wherein the micro bubbles have a diameter of 1 μm or less and are present in the impact absorption layer in a density of 10 to 100 bubbles per cubic millimeter (mm 3 ).

2. A display device comprising:

a display panel and a film,

wherein the film has use of impact absorption and excellent impact resistance,

wherein the film is attached to a surface of the display panel to protect the display panel, and comprises at least one impact absorption layer having a thickness of 30 μm or more and a hardness of 20 to 100 as measured at a room temperature using an Asker C hardness tester;

wherein the at least one impact absorption layer comprises micro bubbles and at least one selected from the group consisting of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), acryl-based compound, urethane-based compound, urethane acrylate-based compound, silicon-based compound, and rubber-based compound; and

wherein the micro bubbles have a diameter of 50 μm or less and are present in the impact absorption layer in a density of 10 to 100 bubbles per cubic millimeter (mm 3 ).

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a film layer is the film further comprises a high hardness layer formed between an anti reflective layer and the impact absorption layer when the anti reflective layer is disposed in the outermost surface of the film having use of impact absorption, the high hardness layer having a hardness of 60 or more as measured at a room temperature using an Asker C hardness tester.
