Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flexible window and flexible display are disclosed. In one aspect, the flexible window includes a first film having a first Young's modulus, a second film positioned over the first film and having a second Young's modulus that is greater than the first Young's modulus, and a first adhesive layer interposed between the first film and the second film.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A flexible window, comprising: a first film having a first Young's modulus; a second film positioned over the first film and having a second Young's modulus that is greater than the first Young's modulus; and a first adhesive layer interposed between the first film and the second film. 2 . The flexible window of claim 1 , wherein the second film has a thickness that is less than that of the first film. 3 . The flexible window of claim 1 , further comprising: a third film positioned over the second film and having a third Young's modulus that is greater than the second Young's modulus; and a second adhesive layer interposed between the second film and the third film. 4 . The flexible window of claim 3 , wherein the third film has a thickness that is less than that of the second film. 5 . A flexible display, comprising: a flexible display unit; and a flexible window formed over the flexible display unit and comprising: a first film having a first Young's modulus; a second film positioned over the first film and having a second Young's modulus that is greater than the first Young's modulus; and a first adhesive layer interposed between the first film and the second film. 6 . The flexible display of claim 5 , wherein the flexible display unit includes a bending area and a non-bending area adjacent to the bending area. 7 . The flexible display of claim 6 , wherein the flexible display is bent at a side of the flexible display unit. 8 . The flexible display of claim 6 , wherein the second film has a first portion overlapping the bending area and a second portion overlapping the non-bending area, wherein the first portion of the second film has a thickness that is less than that of the first film, and wherein the second portion of the second film has a thickness that is greater than that of the first film. 9 . The flexible display of claim 8 , wherein the first and second portions of the second film are integrally formed. 10 . The flexible display of claim 8 , wherein the first film has a first portion overlapping the bending area and a second portion overlapping the non-bending area, wherein the first portion of the first film has a thickness that is greater than that of the second film, and the second portion of the first film has a thickness that is less than that of the second film. 11 . The flexible display of claim 6 , wherein the flexible window further comprises: a third film positioned over the second film and having a third Young's modulus that is greater than the second Young's modulus; and a second adhesive layer interposed between the second film and the third film. 12 . The flexible display of claim 11 , wherein the third film has a first portion overlapping the bending area and a second portion overlapping the non-bending area, wherein the first portion of the third film has a thickness that is less than that of the second film, and wherein the second portion of the third film has a thickness that is greater than that of the second film. 13 . The flexible display of claim 6 , wherein each of the first and second films includes a first portion overlapping the bending area and a second portion overlapping the non-bending area, wherein the first portion of the first film has a thickness that is greater than that of the first portion of the second film, and wherein the second portion of the first film has a thickness that is less than that of the second portion of the second film.
