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.

Abstract: Disclosed is a glass-based flexible cover window with improved strength including a planar portion formed so as to correspond to a planar region of a flexible display and a folding portion formed so as to be connected to the planar portion, the folding portion being formed so as to correspond to a folding region of the flexible display, wherein the flexible cover window includes a glass substrate and a polyimide (PI) coating layer formed on the glass substrate. The PI coating layer is formed on the glass substrate by direct coating, whereby inherent texture of glass is maintained while the overall thickness of the flexible cover window is reduced, and therefore aesthetics of the flexible cover window are improved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a near-infrared filter. The near-infrared filter includes a filter-support-seat body including a quadrangular pillar cell region and a dummy region which surrounds the cell region and which is gradually reduced in size from the cell region, and an optical-filter-subdivision layer covering the cell region and the dummy region at a front side and a rear side of the filter-support-seat body based on the path of a light beam which is incident on the front side and penetrates the rear side in the filter-support-seat body. The dummy region has a chamfered side that is slanted obliquely in at least one side of the front side and the rear side of the filter-support-seat body. Further, a method of manufacturing the near-infrared filter is disclosed for each process step.
