Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, a polarization member facing the display panel, a cover window including an inorganic material and facing the display panel with the polarization member therebetween, and a window bonding member which is between the cover window and the polarization member attaches the cover window to the polarization member. The window bonding member which attaches the cover window to the polarization member has a modulus of about of 1 MPa to about 10 MPa.
