DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
A display device includes a cover window including a curved portion, and a panel member laminated on the cover window. A method of manufacturing a display device includes mounting a cover window including a curved portion on a first jig including a curved portion, mounting a panel member on a second jig that conforms to a surface of the first jig, and laminating the cover window to the panel member by moving a first one of the first jig or the second jig to a first other one of the first jig or the second jig. An apparatus for manufacturing a display device includes a first jig including a mount surface that is partially curved to conform to a surface of a cover window, a second jig including a surface conforming to the mount surface and configured to contact a panel member, and a driving unit.
1 . A display device comprising:
a cover window comprising a curved portion; and
a panel member on the cover window,
wherein an end of the panel member is on a surface of the curved portion of the cover window, and covers a portion and exposes another portion of the surface of the curved portion of the cover window.
2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the panel member is smaller in at least one of a length or a width than the cover window.
3 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer between the panel member and the cover window.
4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window further comprises a flat portion extending from the curved portion.
5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the panel member is entirely on the flat portion.
6 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the curved portion comprises a plurality of curved portions.
7 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the panel member comprises:
a first panel portion on the flat portion; and
a second panel portion extending in a curved shape from the first panel portion and being on the curved portion.
8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window has a curved surface having a curvature radius.
9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein a curvature radius of a portion of the cover window is different from a curvature radius of another portion of the cover window.
10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the panel member is on a recessed outer surface of the cover window or a protruding outer surface of the cover window.
11 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the panel member comprises at least one of a display panel or a touch screen panel (TSP).
12 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the panel member is flexible.
13 . A display device comprising:
a cover window comprising a central portion that is flat, one end that is connected to the central portion and has a first curved surface, and an other end that is connected to the central portion and has a second curved surface; and
a panel member that is on one surface of the cover window to be bent,
wherein an end of the panel member is on one of the first and second curved surfaces of the cover window, and covers a portion and exposes another portion of the one of the first and second curved surfaces of the cover window.
14 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the panel member is attached to an outer surface of the cover window that is recessed or to an outer surface of the cover window that protrudes.
15 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein a size of the panel member is different from a size of the cover window.
16 . The display device of claim 15 , wherein the size of the panel member is less than the size of the cover window.
17 . The display device of claim 15 , wherein both ends of the panel member are on at least one selected from the first curved surface and the second curved surface of the cover window.
18 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the panel member comprises:
a first adhesive layer that is on the cover window;
a touch panel that is on the first adhesive layer;
a second adhesive layer that is on the touch panel; and
a display panel that is on the second adhesive layer.
19 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the panel member is flexible.
20 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein at least one selected from the first curved surface and the second curved surface is a curved surface having at least one radius of curvature.
21 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein the first curved surface is a curved surface having a first radius of curvature and the second curved surface is a curved surface having a second radius of curvature that is different from the first radius of curvature.
