Abstract

A window includes a base substrate including a bezel region and a transmission region in a plan view, a light-blocking layer disposed under the base substrate, and overlapping the bezel region, and a printing layer disposed under the light-blocking layer, and including a barcode pattern on a lower surface thereof. The printing layer selectively transmits infrared rays.

Claims (19)

1 . A window comprising:

a base substrate including a bezel region and a transmission region in a plan view;

a light-blocking layer disposed under the base substrate, and overlapping the bezel region; and

a printing layer disposed under the light-blocking layer, and including a barcode pattern,

wherein the printing layer absorbs visible rays, and transmits infrared rays, and

the barcode pattern overlaps the light-blocking layer in a thickness direction.

2 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the bezel region comprises an infrared detection region and a non-detection region, and the printing layer overlaps the non-detection region.

3 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the bezel region surrounds the transmission region in the plan view, and the light-blocking layer extends along the bezel region and entirely overlaps the bezel region.

4 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer comprises:

a first light-blocking part under which the printing layer is disposed; and

a second light-blocking part which does not overlap the printing layer in the plan view.

5 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the barcode pattern is defined in a lower surface of the printing layer.

6 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the printing layer comprises a base resin and a pigment or dye dispersed in the base resin.

7 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the printing layer comprises:

a first printing layer disposed under the light-blocking layer; and

a second printing layer disposed under the first printing layer.

8 . The window of claim 7 , wherein the barcode pattern is defined in a lower surface of the second printing layer.

9 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the barcode pattern is a two-dimensional pattern having a matrix form.

10 . The window of claim 1 , wherein the barcode pattern is engraved in a lower surface of the printing layer.
