Abstract

The embodiments relate to a polyamide-based film excellent in optical properties, mechanical properties, and processing suitability and to a cover window and a display device comprising the same. The polyamide-based film comprises a polyamide-base polymer, wherein a dipolar solvent compatibility represented by the following equation is 18.5 to 24: Dipolar solvent compatibility=√{square root over ((σ d −δ1 d ) 2 +(σ p −δ1 p ) 2 )}. In the equation, σ d is a value of a dispersible component in surface energy of the polyamide-based film, σ p is a value of a polar component in surface energy of the polyamide-based film, δ1 d is a value of a dispersible component in Hansen solubility parameter of the dipolar solvent, and δ1 p a value of a dipolar component in Hansen solubility parameter of the dipolar solvent.
