Abstract

A protective structure includes an impact resistant structure and an anti-scratch structure. The impact resistant structure includes a plurality of buffer structures and a plurality of filling structures located around the buffer structures. The anti-scratch structure is located over the impact resistant structure. The anti-scratch structure includes a hard coat layer which covers the impact resistant structure, and a surface anti-scratch layer which covers the hard coat layer.

Claims (47)

1. A protective structure, comprising:

an impact resistant structure, comprising:

a plurality of buffer structures; and

a plurality of filling structures located around the buffer structures; and

an anti-scratch structure located over the impact resistant structure and comprising:

a hard coat layer covering the impact resistant structure; and

a surface anti-scratch layer covering the hard coat layer.

2. The protective structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a first substrate that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein:

the hard coat layer is located on the first surface of the first substrate; and

the impact resistant structure is located on the second surface of the first substrate.

3. The protective structure according to claim 2 , wherein the first substrate comprises a single-material substrate, a composite substrate or a hybrid substrate of organic materials, a composite substrate or a hybrid substrate of inorganic materials, or a hybrid substrate or a composite substrate of an organic material and an inorganic material.

4. The protective structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a light filter structure that at least comprises a plurality of light filter layers located between the hard coat layer and the impact resistant structure.

5. The protective structure according to claim 4 , further comprising a first substrate, wherein the first substrate is located between the light filter structure and the impact resistant structure, and the light filter structure comprises:

the light filter layers located on the second surface of the first substrate; and

a planar layer located on the second surface of the first substrate and filled into a plurality of first opening regions of the light filter layers.

6. The protective structure according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the light filter layers is disposed corresponding to one of the buffer structures.

7. The protective structure according to claim 4 , wherein an order of the surface anti-scratch layer, the hard coat layer, the first substrate, the buffer structures, and the filling structures is based on a descending order of Young's moduli thereof.

8. The protective structure according to claim 1 , wherein the hard coat layer is an unpatterned layer, the surface anti-scratch layer is an unpatterned layer, or the hard coat layer and the surface anti-scratch layer are both unpatterned layers.

9. The protective structure according to claim 1 , wherein the hard coat layer is a patterned layer, the surface anti-scratch layer is a patterned layer, or the hard coat layer and the surface anti-scratch layer are both patterned layers.

10. A protective structure, comprising:

a light filter structure at least comprising a plurality of light filter layers; and

an anti-scratch structure located over the light filter structure and comprising:

a hard coat layer covering the light filter structure; and

a surface anti-scratch layer covering the hard coat layer, wherein a Young's modulus of the surface anti-scratch layer is greater than a Young's modulus of the hard coat layer.

11. The protective structure according to claim 10 , further comprising a first substrate that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein the light filter structure comprises:

the light filter layers located on the second surface of the first substrate; and

a planar layer covering the second surface of the first substrate and the light filter layers and filled into a plurality of first opening regions of the light filter layers,

12. The protective structure according to claim 10 , further comprising a first substrate that has a first surface, wherein the light filter structure comprises:

the light filter layers located on the first surface of the first substrate; and

a planar layer covering the first surface of the first substrate and the light filter layers and filled into a plurality of first opening regions of the light filter layers,

wherein the hard coat layer is located on the first surface of the first substrate and covers the planar layer.

13. The protective structure according to claim 10 , further comprising a first substrate that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein the light filter structure comprises:

the light filter layers located on the first surface of the first substrate; and

a planar layer located on the second surface of the first substrate,

wherein the hard coat layer covers the first surface of the first substrate and the light filter layers and is filled into a plurality of first opening regions of the light filter layers.

14. The protective structure according to claim 10 , further comprising a first substrate that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein the light filter structure comprises:

the light filter layers located on the second surface of the first substrate,

wherein the hard coat layer is located on the first surface of the first substrate.

15. The protective structure according to claim 14 , further comprising a planar layer located on the second surface of the first substrate and located between the light filter layers and the first substrate.

16. The protective structure according to claim 10 , wherein an order of the surface anti-scratch layer, the hard coat layer, and the first substrate is based on a descending order of the Young's moduli thereof.

17. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

an electronic device; and

the protective structure according to claim 1 , located on the electronic device.

18. The electronic apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the electronic device is in contact with the protective structure.

19. The electronic apparatus according to claim 17 , further comprising an adhesive layer located between the protective structure and the electronic device.
