A window for a display device includes a cover glass including a flat portion and a curved portion adjacent to the flat portion, a decorative film which is disposed on the cover glass and in which a plurality of holes overlapping the curved portion is defined, and a printing layer disposed on the decorative film and covering the plurality of holes.

Claims (28)

1. A window for a display device, comprising:

a cover glass including a flat portion and a curved portion adjacent to the flat portion;

a decorative film which prevents reflection of external light and is disposed on the cover glass and in which a plurality of holes overlapping the curved portion is defined; and

a printing layer disposed on the decorative film, covering the plurality of holes and having a thickness greater than a maximum thickness of the decorative film in a direction perpendicular to a main plane extension direction of the cover glass.

2. The window of claim 1 , wherein the curved portion has multiple curvatures.

3. The window of claim 1 , wherein a bent angle of the curved portion is equal to or greater than about 70 degrees with respect to an imaginary straight line perpendicular to the flat portion.

4. The window of claim 1 , wherein the curved portion is positioned at a corner of the cover glass.

5. The window of claim 1 , wherein the curved portion is positioned at an edge of the cover glass.

6. The window of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of holes has a circular shape in a plan view.

7. The window of claim 6 , wherein a diameter of each of the plurality of holes is about 1 millimeter.

8. The window of claim 1 , wherein sizes of the plurality of holes are equal to each other.

9. The window of claim 1 , wherein sizes of the plurality of holes are different from each other.

10. The window of claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent holes among the plurality of holes is uniform.

11. The window of claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent holes among the plurality of holes is non-uniform.

12. The window of claim 1 , wherein the printing layer overlaps the curved portion and does not overlap the flat portion.

13. The window of claim 1 , wherein the printing layer overlaps the curved portion and the flat portion.

14. The window of claim 1 , wherein a color of the printing layer is a same as a color of the decorative film.

15. The window of claim 1 , wherein the printing layer fills the plurality of holes.

16. A method of manufacturing a window for a display device, the method comprising:

defining a plurality of holes in a decorative film;

attaching the decorative film which prevents reflection of external light to a cover glass including a flat portion and a curved portion such that the plurality of holes overlaps the curved portion; and

forming a printing layer covering the plurality of holes on the decorative film,

wherein the printing layer has a thickness greater than a maximum thickness of the decorative film in a direction perpendicular to a main plane extension direction of the cover glass.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of holes is defined by a laser cutting.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the printing layer is formed by a spray printing.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

removing air bubbles between the cover glass and the decorative film after the attaching the decorative film and before the forming the printing layer.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the air bubbles are removed in an autoclave.
