Abstract

A method of fabricating a cover glass includes preparing a base member including a first area and a second area, wherein a surface of the base member is substantially parallel to a direction in the first area and is inclined with respect to the direction in the second area, and forming an ink layer on the surface of the base member in the second area, and forming a first print layer by removing a portion of the ink layer and forming a second print layer on the first print layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cover glass comprising:
a base member including a first area and a second area adjacent to the first area, wherein a surface of the base member is substantially parallel to a direction in the first area and is inclined with respect to the direction in the second area; a first print layer disposed on the surface of the base member in the second area; and a second print layer disposed on the first print layer and spaced apart from a side surface of the first print layer, the side surface of the first print layer being adjacent to the first area, wherein at least part of the side surface of the first print layer is recessed toward the second print layer.

2 . The cover glass of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first print layer is larger than a width of the second print layer.

3 . The cover glass of claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the first print layer is smaller than a thickness of the second print layer.

4 . The cover glass of claim 1 , wherein the at least part of the side surface of the first print layer includes a lower end portion that is inwardly recessed and in direct contact with the base member.

5 . The cover glass of claim 1 , wherein
the first print layer and the second print layer extend along a side of the base member, and a side of the first print layer adjacent to the first area has a partially curved shape.

6 . The cover glass of claim 1 , wherein
the base member further includes a third area in which the base member is bent downward from the first area, a portion of the base member faces another surface of the base member in the third area, the another surface of the base member being disposed at an opposite side of the surface of the base member, and the first print layer is disposed at the portion of the base member facing the another surface in the third area.
