Abstract

A window including a base substrate, which includes a transmission region and a bezel region in a plan view and includes a front surface and a rear surface that are opposite to each other in a thickness direction, a light-blocking layer, which is disposed on the rear surface of the base substrate and is overlapped with the bezel region, and a printing layer, which is disposed on the light-blocking layer and has a target surface, in which a barcode pattern is formed. The printing layer may have a chromatic color, and a width of the printing layer may be less than a width of the light-blocking layer.

Claims (39)

1. A window, comprising:

a base substrate including a transmission region and a bezel region in a plan view and including a front surface and a rear surface that are opposite to each other in a thickness direction;

a light-blocking layer disposed on the rear surface of the base substrate and overlapped with the bezel region; and

a printing layer disposed on the light-blocking layer and having a target surface, in which a barcode pattern is formed,

wherein:

the printing layer has a chromatic color; and

a width of the printing layer is less than a width of the light-blocking layer.

2. The window of claim 1 , wherein the printing layer is overlapped with the light-blocking layer and is extended along the bezel region.

3. The window of claim 1 , wherein:

the light-blocking layer comprises a first light-blocking layer disposed on the base substrate and a second light-blocking layer disposed on the first light-blocking layer; and

a width of the first light-blocking layer is equal to a width of the second light-blocking layer.

4. The window of claim 3 , wherein the first light-blocking layer, the second light-blocking layer, and the printing layer have a same thickness.

5. The window of claim 1 , wherein:

the light-blocking layer comprises a first inner side surface adjacent to the transmission region and a first outer side surface opposite to the first inner side surface, when viewed in a plan view; and

the printing layer is disposed to be closer to the first outer side surface of the light-blocking layer than to the first inner side surface.

6. The window of claim 5 , wherein:

the printing layer comprises a second inner side surface adjacent to the transmission region and a second outer side surface opposite to the second inner side surface, when viewed in the plan view; and

the second outer side surface of the printing layer is aligned with the first outer side surface of the light-blocking layer in the thickness direction.

7. The window of claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer has an achromatic color.

8. The window of claim 1 , wherein the barcode pattern is a matrix-shaped two-dimensional pattern.

9. The window of claim 1 , wherein the barcode pattern is carved in the target surface of the printing layer in an intaglio manner.

10. The window of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the light-blocking layer is greater than a thickness of the printing layer.

11. The window of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the barcode patterns are formed in the target surface.

12. A display device, comprising:

a display module including a display region and a non-display region adjacent to the display region; and

a window disposed on the display module,

wherein:

the window comprises:

a base substrate divided into a transmission region overlapped with the display region and a bezel region overlapped with the non-display region and including a front surface configured to display an image, and a rear surface, which is opposite to the front surface in a thickness direction and faces the display module;

a light-blocking layer disposed on the rear surface of the base substrate and overlapped with the bezel region; and

a printing layer disposed on the light-blocking layer and having a target surface, in which an intaglio barcode pattern is provided;

the printing layer has a chromatic color; and

a width of the printing layer is less than a width of the light-blocking layer.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein:

the light-blocking layer is extended along the bezel region; and

the printing layer is fully overlapped with the light-blocking layer.

14. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the width of the light-blocking layer is at least 1.3 mm.

15. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the width of the printing layer is less than the width of the light-blocking layer by at least 0.1 mm.

16. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the light-blocking layer has a black color, and the printing layer has a white color.
