Abstract

Provided is a window including a base layer, a hard coating layer disposed above the base layer, and a bonding layer disposed between the base layer and the hard coating layer. The bonding layer includes polysiloxane.

Claims (58)

1 . A window comprising:

a base layer;

a hard coating layer disposed above the base layer; and

a bonding layer disposed between the base layer and the hard coating layer, the bonding layer including polysiloxane.

2 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer is disposed directly on a lower surface of the hard coating layer and on an upper surface of the base layer.

3 . The window of claim 1 , wherein

the base layer includes a polymer film or a glass substrate, and

the polymer film or the glass substrate is not present in the window except the base layer.

4 . The window of claim 1 , wherein

a lower surface of the hard coating layer contacts the bonding layer, and

an upper surface of the hard coating layer is an uppermost surface of the window that is exposed to the outside.

5 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the hard coating layer comprises a fluorine-based compound.

6 . The window of claim 1 , wherein

the bonding layer further includes 2-hydroxyethyl ester, and

a weight ratio of the polysiloxane to the 2-hydroxyethyl ester in the bonding layer is about 1:1.

7 . The window of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the bonding layer is in a range of about 0.1 μm to about 1 μm.

8 . The window of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the hard coating layer is in a range of about 5 μm to about 20 μm.

9 . The window of claim 1 , wherein t a thickness of the base layer is in a range of about 50 μm to about 100 μm.

10 . The window of claim 1 , further comprising:

an optical bonding layer disposed directly on a lower surface of the base layer, the optical bonding layer including a polyurethane resin.

11 . The window of claim 1 , wherein a haze of the window is in a range of about 1% or less.

12 . The window of claim 1 , wherein a modulus of the window is in a range of about 6 GPa or more.

13 . A display device comprising:

a display module;

a support module disposed below the display module;

a window disposed above the display module, the window including:

a base layer;

a hard coating layer disposed above the base layer; and

a bonding layer disposed between the base layer and the hard coating layer, the bonding layer including polysiloxane;

a folding area that is folded with respect to a folding axis extending in a direction; and

a non-folding area adjacent to the folding area.

14 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the bonding layer is disposed directly on a lower surface of the hard coating layer and on an upper surface of the base layer.

15 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the window comprises a single glass substrate or a single polymer film.

16 . The display device of claim 15 , wherein the single polymer film is a polyimide film or a polyethyleneterephthalate film.

17 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein

a lower surface of the hard coating layer contacts the bonding layer, and

an upper surface of the hard coating layer is an uppermost surface of the window that is exposed to the outside.

18 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the hard coating layer comprises a fluorine-based compound.

19 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein

the bonding layer further comprises 2-hydroxyethyl ester, and

a weight ratio of the polysiloxane to the 2-hydroxyethyl ester in the bonding layer is about 1:1.

20 . The display device of claim 13 , further comprising:

a window adhesive layer disposed between the display module and the window.

21 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the support module comprises a support plate including openings that correspond to the folding area.

22 . A display device comprising:

a display module; and

a window disposed on the display module, the window including:

a base layer;

a hard coating layer that is disposed on an upper surface of the base layer and is formed as a single layer; and

a bonding layer disposed between the base layer and the hard coating layer and contacting the base layer and the hard coating layer, the bonding layer including polysiloxane.

23 . The display device of claim 22 , wherein

the bonding layer further comprises 2-hydroxyethyl ester, and

a weight ratio of the polysiloxane to the 2-hydroxyethyl ester in the bonding layer is about 1:1.

24 . The display device of claim 22 , wherein the window further includes:

an optical bonding layer disposed on a lower surface of the base layer, the optical bonding layer including a polyurethane resin.

25 . The display device of claim 22 , wherein

the hard coating layer comprises a fluorine-based compound, and

an upper surface of the hard coating layer is an uppermost surface of the window that is exposed to the outside.
