Abstract

Provided is a window cover film and a flexible display panel including the same. More particularly, a window cover film including a substrate layer and a hard coating layer and a flexible display panel including the same are provided.

Claims (13)

1. A window cover film comprising a substrate layer made up of a polyamideimide-based resin and a hard coating layer formed directly on at least one surface of the substrate layer,

wherein a kinetic friction coefficient is less than 0.15, the kinetic friction coefficient being measured at a speed of 100 mm/min with a force of 5 N under a load of 200 g using parchment paper as an object to be frictionized on the hard coating layer, and a ratio of a static friction coefficient a to the kinetic friction coefficient b satisfies the following Equation 1:

1≤ a/b≤ 1.2,  [Equation 1]

wherein the substrate layer is made up of a polyamideimide (PAI)-based resin including a fluorine atom and an aliphatic cyclic structure and the hard coating layer is formed of a composition for forming a hard coating layer including a (meth) acryl-based siloxane resin and a polyfunctional (meth) acrylate-based compound, and

wherein the polyamideimide (PAI)-based resin is prepared by preparing an amine-terminated polyamide oligomer from a first fluorine-based aromatic diamine and an aromatic diacid dichloride, and polymerizing the amine-terminated polyamide oligomer with a monomer derived from a second fluorine-based aromatic diamine, an aromatic dianhydride, and a cycloaliphatic dianhydride.

2. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the static friction coefficient is 0.2 or less.

3. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.1 or less.

4. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the substrate layer has a modulus in accordance with ASTM D882 of 3 GPa or more, an elongation at break of 8% or more, a light transmittance of 5% or more as measured at 388 nm in accordance with ASTM D1746, a total light transmittance of 87% or more as measured at 400 to 700 nm, a haze of 2.0% or less, a yellow index of 5.0 or less, and a b* value of 2.0 or less.

5. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the substrate layer has a thickness of 10 to 500 μm and the hard coating layer has a thickness of 1 to 50 μm.

6. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the hard coating layer has a pencil hardness of 4H or more and a water contact angle of 80° or more.

7. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the window cover film has a curl amount of 5 mm or less, the curl amount being measured at each vertex of a square sample having a side length of 10 cm each which has been cut to be inclined at an angle of 45° to an MD direction of the film.

8. The window cover film of claim 1 , wherein the window cover film has no crack occurrence at 30,000 to 200,000 times in evaluation of dynamic bending properties.

9. A flexible display panel comprising the window cover film of claim 1 .
