Abstract

The present invention relates to a plate with a printed layer, including a plate having a bent portion, a lower printed layer, and an upper printed layer provided at a portion of the lower printed layer, in which at least a portion of the lower printed layer is provided at a position corresponding to the bent portion on a main surface of the plate.

Claims (29)

1. A plate with a printed layer, comprising:

a plate having a bent portion;

a first printed layer formed on a surface of the plate such that the first printed layer includes a lower portion formed in the bent portion of the plate; and

a second printed layer including a single-layer portion formed on the surface of the plate and an upper portion formed on the lower portion of the first printed layer in the bent portion of the plate.

2. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the second printed layer is formed such that the upper portion of the second printed layer has a thickness that is less than a thickness of the single-layer portion of the second printed layer on the surface of the plate.

3. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the first printed layer is formed in a plurality, and the second printed layer is formed in a plurality such that a plurality of second printed layers includes the upper portion formed in a plurality.

4. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of upper portions of the plurality of second printed layers is formed such that the upper portions include a plurality of sets of upper portions having different sizes from each other.

5. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the upper portion of the second printed layer has a thickness in a range of from 0.5 μm to 8 μm.

6. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second printed layers are formed such that a ratio of a thickness of the single-layer portion of the second printed layer to a thickness of a multi-layer portion formed of the lower portion of the first printed layer and the upper portion of the second printed layer is 0.6 or greater and that a ratio of a thickness of the first printed layer to the thickness of the multi-layer portion is 0.6 or greater.

7. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the first printed layer is formed such that the lower portion has unevenness at an outer edge of the lower portion in a plan view such that a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the unevenness is 40 μm or smaller.

8. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is a transparent plate, and the lower portion of the first printed layer is formed at at least a portion of a circumferential region of the surface of the plate.

9. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is glass.

10. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 9 , wherein the glass is a tempered glass.

11. A display device, comprising:

a display panel;

the plate of claim 1 such that the plate having the bent portion is a transparent plate; and

an adhesive layer bonding the plate of claim 1 and the display panel.

12. A method for manufacturing a plate with a printed layer, comprising:

forming a first printed layer in a first region on a surface of a plate by an ink jet method, and

forming a second printed layer on the surface of the plate by an ink jet method such that the second printed layer includes an upper portion continuing from a lower portion of the first printed layer to a second region adjacent to the first region on the surface of the plate,

wherein the second printed layer is formed such that a thickness of the upper portion on the lower portion of the first printed layer has a thickness that is less than a thickness of a single-layer portion of the second printed layer in the second region on the surface of the plate.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the plate has a bent portion, and the lower portion of the first printed layer is formed on the surface of the plate in the bent portion.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the plate has a bent portion, and at least a portion of the first printed layer is formed on the surface of the plate in the bent portion.

15. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is a transparent tempered glass plate, and the lower portion of the first printed layer is formed at at least a portion of a circumferential region of the surface of the plate.

16. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 15 , wherein the upper portion of the second printed layer has a thickness in a range of from 0.5 μm to 8 μm.

17. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 15 , wherein the first and second printed layers are formed such that a ratio of a thickness of the single-layer portion of the second printed layer to a thickness of a multi-layer portion formed of the lower portion of the first printed layer and the upper portion of the second printed layer is 0.6 or greater and that a ratio of a thickness of the first printed layer to the thickness of the multi-layer portion is 0.6 or greater.

18. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 15 , wherein the first printed layer is formed such that the lower portion has unevenness at an outer edge of the lower portion in a plan view such that a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the unevenness is 40 μm or smaller.

19. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 7 , wherein the first printed layer is formed in a plurality, and the second printed layer is formed in a plurality such that a plurality of second printed layers includes the upper portion formed in a plurality.

20. The plate with a printed layer according to claim 19 , wherein the plurality of upper portions of the plurality of second printed layers is formed such that the upper portions include a plurality of sets of upper portions having different sizes from each other.
