Abstract

A display device including a display panel including a front portion and a corner portion disposed at a corner of the front portion, a patterned film disposed on a rear surface of the display panel, a cover panel disposed on the rear surface of the patterned film and overlapping the front portion, and a coating layer disposed on the rear surface of the patterned film and overlapping the corner portion.

Claims (54)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including a front portion and a corner portion disposed at a corner of the front portion;

a patterned film disposed on a rear surface of the display panel;

a cover panel disposed on a rear surface of the patterned film and overlapping the front portion;

a coating layer disposed on the rear surface of the patterned film and overlapping the corner portion; and

an adhesive layer disposed between the cover panel and the rear surface of the patterned film,

wherein the coating layer is directly disposed on the rear surface of the patterned film.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the coating layer comprises a primer layer disposed on the patterned film, a foam coating layer disposed on the primer layer, and a hard coating layer disposed on the foam coating layer.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein:

the patterned film comprises a silicon-based polymer; and

the primer layer comprises a silicon primer layer.

4 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the hard coating layer comprises a conductive filler.

5 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the primer layer, the foam coating layer, and the hard coating layer includes a black dye or pigment.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the coating layer is thinner than the cover panel.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the cover panel comprises at least one of a shield layer, a support layer, a cushion layer, and a light blocking layer.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the front portion is flat, and the corner portion has a double curved surface;

the corner portion comprises a plurality of stripe areas separated from each other; and

the plurality of stripe areas are combined to form the double curved surface of the corner portion.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein:

the patterned film comprises a plurality of portions corresponding to the plurality of stripe areas; and

a first gap between adjacent stripe areas is greater than a second gap between adjacent portions of the patterned film.

10 . An electronic device comprising:

a display panel including a front portion, a side portion disposed at a side of the front portion, and a corner portion disposed at a corner of the front portion;

a patterned film attached to the display panel;

a cover panel attached to the patterned film and covering the front portion and the side portion;

a coating layer coated on the patterned film and covering the corner portion; and

an adhesive layer disposed between the cover panel and the rear surface of the patterned film,

wherein the coating layer is directly disposed on the rear surface of the patterned film.

11 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein:

the display panel comprises a substrate, a transistor disposed on the substrate, and a light emitting diode connected to the transistor; and

the patterned film is attached to the substrate.

12 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein:

the corner portion includes a double curved surface; and

the coating layer comprises a primer layer coated on a surface of the patterned film, a foam coating layer coated on a surface of the primer layer, and a hard coating layer coated on a surface of the foam coating layer.

13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein:

the patterned film comprises a silicon-based polymer; and

the primer layer comprises a silicon primer layer.

14 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the hard coating layer comprises a conductive filler.

15 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the primer layer, the foam coating layer, and the hard coating layer includes a black dye or pigment.

16 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein:

the corner portion comprises a plurality of stripe areas separated from each other;

the patterned film comprises a plurality of portions corresponding to the plurality of stripe areas; and

a gap between adjacent portions of the patterned film is less than a gap between adjacent stripe areas.

17 . A manufacturing method of a display device, comprising:

attaching a patterned film to a display panel that includes a front portion and a corner portion disposed at a corner of the front portion;

attaching the display panel to which the patterned film is attached to a window;

attaching a cover panel to the patterned film to overlap the front portion while not overlapping the corner portion; and

forming a coating layer on a surface of the patterned film to overlap the corner portion.

18 . The manufacturing method of the display device of claim 17 , wherein forming the coating layer comprises:

forming a primer layer on the surface of the patterned film;

forming a foam coating layer on a surface of the primer layer; and

forming a hard coating layer on a surface of the foam coating layer.

19 . The manufacturing method of the display device of claim 18 , wherein the primer layer is pre-cured before forming the foam coating layer, the foam coating layer is pre-cured before forming the hard coating layer, and the primer layer and the foam coating layer are main-cured after forming the hard coating layer.
