  • Publication number: 20250052928
    Abstract: Exemplary flexible coverlenses and the methods of making them are described. The methods may include exposing a surface of a substrate layer to a surface treatment plasma to form a treated surface of the substrate layer. A silicon-containing adhesion layer may be deposited on the treated surface of the substrate layer. A silane-containing adhesion promoter may be incorporated on the silicon-containing adhesion layer. The method may also include forming a hardcoat layer on the silicon-containing adhesion layer, where the silane-containing adhesion promoter is bonded to both the hardcoat layer and the silicon-containing adhesion layer. The exemplary flexible coverlenses made by the present methods are less susceptable to folding fatigue along a bending or folding axis of the coverlens.

  • Publication number: 20240423015
    Abstract: Flexible display devices, such as flexible cover lens films, are discussed and provided herein. The flexible cover lens film has good strength, elasticity, optical transmission, wear resistance, and thermostability. The cover lens film includes a hard coat layer with a thickness from about 5 ?m to 40 ?m, an impact absorption layer with a thickness from about 20 ?m to 110 ?m, and a substrate layer with a thickness from about 10 ?m to 175 ?m and is disposed between the hard coat layer and the impact absorption layer. By combining the hard coat layer and the impact resistant layer, the cover lens film is both flexible and strong with hardness from 6H to 9H.

  • Publication number: 20240288610
    Abstract: Implementations described herein generally relate to a flexible display devices, and more specifically to flexible cover lens films. The flexible cover lens film has improved strength, elasticity, optical transmission, and anti-abrasion properties, and contains a multi-layer hardcoat disposed on a substrate layer. The substrate layer has a thickness of 2 ?m to 100 ?m and the multi-layer hardcoat has a thickness of 1 ?m to 30 ?m. The multi-layer hardcoat contains a first layer deposited using a wet deposition process, a second layer deposited using a dry deposition process, and one or more adhesion promotion layers. For optical properties, the multi-layer hardcoat has a total transmission greater than 88%, a haze of about 1% or less, and a yellowness index of b*<1. By combining wet and dry deposition processes to form the multi-layer hardcoat, the cover lens film is both flexible and strong with a hardness between 4H and 9H.
