Abstract

A protection panel includes a first panel member, a film member, and a cover member. The first panel member includes a first panel member body portion, and a first adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion, the film member is on the first panel member, and the cover member is on the first adhesive portion. A portion of at least one selected from the first panel member body portion and the first adhesive portion of the first panel member includes a cutout portion which separates adjacent portions thereto from each other.

Claims (66)

1 . A protection panel comprising:

a first panel member comprising a first panel member body portion, and a first adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion;

a film member on the first panel member; and

a cover member disposed above a surface of the film member,

wherein a portion of at least one selected from the first panel member body portion and the first adhesive portion of the first panel member includes a cutout portion which allows adjacent portions thereto to be separated from each other, and

wherein the cover member comprises:

a cover layer comprising metal;

a cushion layer on the cover layer; and

an uneven layer on the cushion layer.

2 . The protection panel of claim 1 , wherein

the cutout portion is provided in plurality, and

the plurality of cutout portions are arranged apart from each other.

3 . The protection panel of claim 2 , further comprising:

a bridge portion disposed between adjacent cutout portions from among the plurality of cutout portions,

wherein the bridge portion connects a first region and a second region of the first panel member which are adjacent to each other with the adjacent cutout portions therebetween.

4 . The protection panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second panel member comprising a second adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion, and a second panel member body portion on the second adhesive portion.

5 . A protection panel comprising:

a first panel member comprising a first panel member body portion, and a first adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion;

a film member on the first panel member; and

a cover member disposed on the first adhesive portion, wherein

a portion of at least one selected from the first panel member body portion and the first adhesive portion of the first panel member includes a cutout portion which allows adjacent portions thereto to be separated from each other,

the protection panel further comprises a second panel member comprising a second adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion, and a second panel member body portion on the second adhesive portion, and

the cutout portion is defined in the second adhesive portion.

6 . The protection panel of claim 5 , wherein the cutout portion is defined in a portion of the second panel member body portion.

7 . The protection panel of claim 4 , wherein an adhesive force of the second adhesive portion is greater than an adhesive force of the first adhesive portion.

8 . The protection panel of claim 4 , wherein an adhesive force of the second adhesive portion is 50 times or more an adhesive force of the first adhesive portion.

9 . A display apparatus comprising:

a first panel member comprising a first panel member body portion, and a first adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion;

a film member on the first panel member;

a cover member above a surface of the film member; and

a display panel on the cover member,

wherein a portion of at least one selected from the first panel member body portion and the first adhesive portion of the first panel member includes a cutout portion which allows adjacent portions thereto to be separated from each other, and

wherein the cover member comprises:

a cover layer comprising metal;

a cushion layer on the cover layer; and

an uneven layer on the cushion layer.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the cutout portion is provided in plurality, and

the plurality of cutout portions are arranged apart from each other.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising:

a bridge portion between adjacent cutout portions from among the plurality of cutout portions,

wherein the bridge portion connects a first region and a second region of the first panel member which are adjacent to each other with the adjacent cutout portions therebetween.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein areas of at least one selected from the first adhesive portion and the first panel member body portion which are adjacent to each other with the cutout portion therebetween are connected to each other to form a step structure.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

a second panel member comprising a second adhesive portion on the first panel member body portion, and a second panel member body portion on the second adhesive portion.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the cutout portion is defined in the second panel member body portion.

15 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein an adhesive force of the second adhesive portion is greater than an adhesive force of the first adhesive portion.

16 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein an adhesive force of the second adhesive portion is 50 times or more an adhesive force of the first adhesive portion.

17 . The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein areas of the first adhesive portion which are adjacent to each other with the cutout portion therebetween contact the cover member.

18 . A display apparatus comprising:
