  • Publication number: 20150043174
    Abstract: A window panel includes a first rigid part including a rigid material, a second rigid part including the rigid material, and a base substrate interposed between the first and second rigid parts and including a folding part configured to be folded by an external force. The folding part includes a first area and a second area, which are alternately arranged on a plane surface of the base substrate substantially perpendicular to a thickness direction of the base substrate. The first area includes the rigid material, and at least a portion of the second area includes a soft material. Thus, the rigidity of the window panel is maintained by the rigid material and the flexibility of the window panel is improved by the soft material.

  • Publication number: 20150029143
    Abstract: A flexible touch screen panel includes a window substrate, a polarizing functional layer, sensing patterns and sensing lines. The window substrate is flexible. The polarizing functional layer is attached on a first surface of the window substrate, and is divided into an active area and an inactive area positioned outside of the active area. The sensing patterns are formed in the active area on a first surface of the polarizing functional layer. The sensing lines are formed in the inactive area on the first surface of the polarizing functional layer, and are connected to the sensing patterns. In the touch screen panel, the polarizing functional layer has a laminated structure in which a polarizer and a retardation compensation film are attached on the first surface of the window substrate.

  • Patent number: 8922505
    Abstract: A flexible and very thin touch screen panel is implemented by forming sensing patterns as touch sensors on a first surface of a flexible thin glass substrate and by forming a supporting film on a second surface of the glass surface. A method of fabricating a touch screen panel for securing the strength of a unit cell touch screen panel includes forming sensing patterns as touch sensors in every unit cell touch screen panel on a mother glass substrate, etching the glass substrate in the thickness direction, forming a supporting film under the glass substrate, and by cutting the glass substrate and the supporting film cell by cell using dual cutting.
