Disclosed herein are sealed devices comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, an inorganic film between the first and second substrates, and at least one weld region comprising a bond between the first and second substrates. The weld region can comprise a chemical composition different from that of the inorganic film and the first or second substrates. The sealed devices may further comprise a stress region encompassing at least the weld region, in which a portion of the device is under a greater stress than the remaining portion of the device. Also disclosed herein are display and electronic components comprising such sealed devices.

Methods for assembling a narrow border plastic cover include defining a center portion and an edge portion of a plastic cover. A hard coat treatment may be applied to the center portion of the plastic cover to improve anti-glare and anti-scratch properties and mechanical strength while retaining the flexibility of the plastic cover at the edge portion. An optically clear adhesive may be applied to the plastic cover to improve the durability and bond strength of the bond between the narrow border plastic cover and a display. A structural adhesive may be applied to an edge portion of the display to improve the mechanical strength at the edge portion of the plastic cover when bonded to the display. The narrow border plastic cover may be bonded to the display to improve the ability of the display to absorb impacts.

Provided are a photocurable resin composition and fabrication method of window member using the same. The photocurable resin composition includes a (meth)acrylic resin, a urethane acrylate oligomer, a photopolymerizable monomer and a photopolymerization initiator. Accordingly, deterioration in physical properties such as cracking or decrease of adhesion under additional ultraviolet irradiation conditions, high temperature and high humidity conditions, and thermal shock conditions does not occur.

The present application discloses a support film layer and a flexible display panel. By periodically arranging at least one elliptical hollow structure and a plurality of shuttle-shaped hollow structures in a bending region of the support film layer, stress concentrations in the bending region can be weakened, which is beneficial to increase a bending lifespan of the support film layer. The present application can improve an overall ductility of the flexible display panel, increase a bending performance of the flexible display panel, reduce a risk of peeling and fracture between film layers, and increase production yields of products.

The protective layer includes a polymer resin polymerized from monomers including a first monomer which is an acrylic monomer substituted with a hydroxy group, a second monomer having an epoxy group, and at least one of a third monomer having a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or a fourth monomer which is an acrylic monomer having a substituted or unsubstituted bicyclic alkyl group, and thus, has excellent durability, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance.

A display device includes a display module, and a window which is disposed on the display module and in which a first non-folding region, a folding region, and a second non-folding region are sequentially defined in a first direction, wherein the window includes a base layer, a first hard coating layer disposed on an upper surface of the base layer, and a second hard coating layer disposed on a lower surface of the base layer, and the second hard coating layer includes a first portion overlapping the first non-folding region and the second non-folding region of the window, and a second portion overlapping the folding region of the window and having a hardness lower than a hardness of the first portion. Therefore, it is possible to provide a display device having desired surface hardness, impact resistance, and bending properties.

A display device includes a display panel foldable about a folding axis, a window on the display panel, a protective film on the window, and a plurality of adhesive layers between the window and the protective film. The adhesive layers include a first adhesive layer on the window and a second adhesive layer on the first adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer includes a side chain crystalline polymer, and the second adhesive layer has a modulus smaller than a modulus of the first adhesive layer.

The present invention is directed toward transparent films prepared from soluble aromatic copolyamides with glass transition temperatures greater than 300° C. The copolyamides, which contain pendant carboxylic groups are solution cast into films using N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), or other polar solvents. The films are thermally cured at temperatures near the copolymer glass transition temperature. After curing, the polymer films display transmittances >80% from 400 to 750 nm, have coefficients of thermal expansion of less than 20 ppm, and are solvent resistant. The films are useful as flexible substrates for microelectronic devices.

An electronic component has an organic member between two transparent substrates, in which outer peripheral portions of the two transparent substrates are bonded by a sealing material containing to melting glass. The low melting glass contains vanadium oxide, tellurium oxide, iron oxide and phosphoric acid, and satisfies the following relations (1) and (2) in terms of oxides. The sealing material is formed of a sealing material paste which contains the low melting glass, a resin binder and a solvent, the low melting glass containing vanadium oxide, tellurium oxide, iron oxide and phosphoric acid, and satisfies the following relations (1) and (2) in terms of the oxides. Thereby, thermal damages to an organic element or an organic material contained in the electronic component can be reduced and an electronic component having a glass bonding layer of high reliability can be produced efficiently.
