Abstract

A cover window covering a display panel of a display device comprises a base member covering a display area and a non-display area of the display panel, and an inorganic layer disposed on the base member. The inorganic layer has substantially uniform thickness on the display area, and has a diffraction grating structure on the non-display area.

Claims (17)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel including a display area and a non-display area;

a cover window located on the display panel; and

a resin layer located between the display panel and the cover window, wherein the cover window comprises:

a base member covering the display area and the non-display area of the display panel; and

an inorganic layer located on the base member, the inorganic layer having substantially uniform thickness on the display area, and having a diffraction grating structure on the non-display area.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the diffraction grating structure includes a plurality of grooves arranged in parallel in a first direction.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window further comprises:

a coating layer located on the inorganic layer, and

wherein the coating layer has substantially uniform thickness such that the coating layer has a substantially flat shape on the display area and has a diffraction grating structure corresponding to the diffraction grating structure of the inorganic layer in the non-display area.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the coating layer comprises an anti-fingerprint coating layer.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the anti-fingerprint layer comprises a fluorine-containing coating material.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer comprises silicon-oxide.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window further comprises:

an anti-reflection layer located between the inorganic layer and the base member.
