  • Patent number: 10592017
    Abstract: A window deco film includes a hard coating layer, and a deco layer, a light-shielding layer and an acryl-based coating layer formed on the hard coating layer. The window deco film may have a remarkably reduced thickness, and thus an entire thickness of an image display device including a window substrate to which the window deco film is applied may be also reduced. Additionally, even when the window deco film is attached to a curved window substrate, a bubble may not be generated at a curved portion of the window substrate. A mura caused by a retardation or a phase difference due to the window deco film may be suppressed. Thus, the window deco film may have an improved transmittance.
