the nano inorganic particle is incorporated into the transparent sheet by 10 wt % to 40 wt % with respect to the transparent sheet, and
a base material of the transparent sheet comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or colorless polyimide (CPI).
2. The cover window of claim 1 , wherein the nano inorganic particle comprises at least one of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , or ZrO 2 .
3. The cover window of claim 1 , wherein the transparent sheet and the coating layer adhere to each other using hot melt or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
4. A flexible display panel cover window, comprising:
a transparent sheet having transmittance with respect to light from the display panel, the transparent sheet comprising a first nano inorganic particle incorporated into the transparent sheet, the transparent sheet having a thickness of 50 μm to 190 μm; and
a coating layer disposed on the transparent sheet and comprising a second nano inorganic particle, wherein
the first nano inorganic particle is included in the transparent sheet by 10 wt % to 40 wt % with respect to the transparent sheet, and
a base material of the transparent sheet comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or colorless polyimide (CPI).
5. The cover window of claim 4 , wherein the second nano inorganic particle comprises at least one of Al 2 O 3 or ZrO 2 .
6. The cover window of claim 4 , wherein the coating layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 80 μm.
7. The cover window of claim 4 , wherein the second nano inorganic particle is included in the coating layer by 40 wt % to 60 wt % with respect to the transparent sheet.
8. The cover window of claim 4 , wherein the transparent sheet and the coating layer adhere to each other using hot melt or PDMS.
9. A flexible display panel cover window, comprising:
a lower transparent sheet having transmittance with respect to light from the display panel, the lower transparent sheet comprising a nano inorganic particle incorporated into the lower transparent sheet;
a hot melt cohesive layer disposed on the lower transparent sheet;
an upper transparent sheet disposed on the hot melt cohesive layer, the upper transparent sheet comprising the nano inorganic particle incorporated into the upper transparent sheet; and
an upper coating layer disposed on the upper transparent sheet, wherein
the lower transparent sheet and the upper transparent sheet each have a thickness of 50 μm to 190 μm, wherein
the nano inorganic particle is included in the lower transparent sheet and the upper transparent sheet by 10 wt % to 40 wt % with respect to the lower transparent sheet and the upper transparent sheet respectively,
a base material of the lower transparent sheet comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or colorless polyimide (CPI), and
a base material of the upper transparent sheet comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or colorless polyimide (CPI).
10. The cover window of claim 9 , further comprising a lower coating layer disposed between the display panel and the lower transparent sheet.
11. A flexible display panel cover window, comprising:
a first transparent sheet having transmittance with respect to light from the display panel, the first transparent sheet comprising a nano inorganic particle incorporated into the first transparent sheet;
a first polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cohesive layer disposed on the first transparent sheet and having a plasma-processed surface;
a second transparent sheet disposed on the PDMS cohesive layer having a plasma-processed surface; and
a coating layer disposed on the second transparent sheet, wherein
the first transparent sheet and the second transparent sheet each have a thickness of 50 μm to 190 μm,
the nano inorganic particle is included in the first transparent sheet and the second transparent sheet by 10 wt % to 40 wt % with respect to the first transparent sheet and the second transparent sheet respectively,
a base material of the first transparent sheet comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or colorless polyimide (CPI), and
a base material of the second transparent sheet comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or colorless polyimide (CPI).
12. The cover window of claim 11 , further comprising:
a third transparent sheet disposed on the PDMS cohesive layer having a plasma-processed surface; and
a second PDMS cohesive layer disposed on the third transparent sheet and having a plasma-processed surface.
