Abstract

An electronic device includes a flexible display module, a window on the flexible display module, and a protective base film on the window, and having a first modulus at a first temperature and a second modulus lower than the first modulus at a second temperature 80° C. higher than the first temperature, wherein the difference between the first modulus and the second modulus may be no greater than about 985 MPa.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a flexible display module;

a window on the flexible display module; and

a protective base film on the window, and having a first modulus at a first temperature and a second modulus lower than the first modulus at a second temperature that is about 80° C. higher than the first temperature,

wherein a difference between the first modulus and the second modulus is 985 MPa or less.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first temperature is about minus 20° C., and the second temperature is about 60° C.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first modulus is 1,000 MPa or less.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second modulus is 15 MPa or more.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a functional layer on the protective base film.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the functional layer is no greater than about one tenth of a thickness of the protective base film.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the protective base film is about 30 μm or more to about 300 μm or less.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer between the window and the protective base film.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display module is a foldable display module.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible display module comprises:

a display panel;

a sensing unit on the display panel; and

a reflection prevention layer on the sensing unit.
