Abstract: Proposed is a flexible cover window manufacturing method capable of simultaneously reinforcing a plane part and a folding part by using alkali-based metal ions having an ionic radius smaller than that of alkali-based metal ions contained in a glass. A flexible cover window manufactured using the same method is also proposed. The plane part and the folding part are simultaneously reinforced using alkali-based metal ions having a smaller ionic radius than alkali-based metal ions included in a glass to simplify the process, and the flexible cover window ensures strength and folding characteristics by controlling tensile stress of the entire part of the flexible cover window.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flexible cover window is proposed. The flexible cover window includes a planar part and a folded part extending continuously from the planar part, wherein the folded part is thinner than the planar part. The method includes: forming a photoresist layer on a glass substrate, patterning the photoresist layer to form a gradation resist pattern layer for forming the folded part on the glass substrate, forming the folded part having an inclined portion formed between the folded part and the planar part using the gradation resist pattern layer as a mask, removing the gradation resist pattern layer, and reinforcing the glass substrate.

Abstract: Proposed are a flexible cover window for simultaneously improving strength characteristics and folding characteristics of a glass-based ultra-thin flexible cover window, and a method of manufacturing the same. A glass-based flexible cover window is configured such that a ratio of the intensity of replacing metal ions at the glass center to the intensity of replacing metal ions at the glass surface is 1:3 or greater. The present disclosure can provide a flexible cover window with improved window strength characteristics and folding characteristics by adjusting the depth (ion penetration depth) and the surface compressive stress of a tempered layer by performing a gradient tempering process including primary tempering, slimming, and secondary tempering.

Abstract: Proposed is a flexible cover window including a window substrate and an elastic buffer layer having a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The elastic buffer layer is provided on the rear surface of the window substrate to absorb deformation occurring in a folding part. The flexible cover window is a glass-based cover window for protecting a flexible display that is foldable, rollable, slidable, or stretchable. In addition, the flexible cover window has an elastic buffer layer on the rear surface of the window substrate to reduce the difference in elongation between the window substrate and a display panel so that delamination or buckling due to micro-deformation at the folding part thereof can be prevented. Therefore, the life span of the flexible cover window is prolonged and distortion of an image on the screen at the folding part can be prevented.
