Publication number: 20250052928Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Helinda Nominada, Harvey You, Han Nguyen, Tae Kyung Won, Seong Ho Yoo, Soo Young Choi

Publication number: 20240288610Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Manivannan THOTHADRI, Harvey YOU, Neil MORRISON, Daniel Paul FORSTER
