DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, display devices in embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used for the same components in the drawings, and redundant descriptions of the same components will be omitted.


It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.


It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, “a first element,” “component,” “region,” “layer” or “section” discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.


The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms, including “at least one,” unless the content clearly indicates otherwise. “Or” means “and/or.” As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.


Furthermore, relative terms, such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top,” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the Figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the Figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on “upper” sides of the other elements. The exemplary term “lower,” can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of “lower” and “upper,” depending on the particular orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements would then be oriented “above” the other elements. The exemplary terms “below” or “beneath” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.


“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). The term such as “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value, for example.


Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Unlike the second film unit FL2, which will be described later, the second cushion unit CS2 may not wear even when the cover window CG is processed several times. That is, the second cushion unit CS2 may not be replaced even after processing the cover window CG several times.


The second film unit FL2 may cover the second part CS2B. The second film unit FL2 may include diamond powder, selenium dioxide (SeO2), silicon carbide (SiC), or the like. These materials may be used alone or in any combinations with each other.


The second film unit FL2 may directly contact the cover window CG when the polishing apparatus PA processes the cover window CG. Accordingly, the second film unit FL2 may be worn as the cover window CG is processed several times. Accordingly, the worn second film unit FL2 may be replaced with a new second film unit FL2.

In an embodiment, the first opening OP1 may have a fan shape.



FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part A of FIG. 4. Specifically, FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an enlarged view of the second film unit FL2 of FIG. 4 by about 500 times. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the second film unit FL2 of FIG. 4, but is not limited thereto, and may be an enlarged view of the first film unit FL1.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, each of the first film unit FL1 and the second film unit FL2 may have a microstructure of a repeated lattice pattern LS. In addition, a second opening OP2 may be defined by the repeated lattice pattern LS. That is, the second opening OP2 may be an empty space surrounded by the lattice pattern LS.


In an embodiment, the lattice pattern LS may have a triangular shape. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the lattice pattern LS may have a shape different from the shape of the triangle.


When the polishing apparatus PA processes the cover window CG, the first film unit FL1 and the second film unit FL2 may directly contact the cover window CG. In this case, fine foreign materials may be generated in the cover window CG, the first film unit FL1, or the second film unit FL2. The fine foreign materials may refer to fine particles that are separated from the cover window CG, the first film unit FL1, or the second film unit FL2 in a process of processing the cover window CG.


The fine foreign materials may be absorbed by the second opening OP2. That is, each of the first film unit FL1 and the second film unit FL2 has a triangular lattice-patterned microstructure, so that the fine foreign materials may be effectively removed or managed.


In the process of processing the cover window CG several times using the polishing apparatus PA of FIG. 1, the first film unit FL1 and the second film unit FL2 may be worn. In this case, when only the first film unit FL1 and the second film unit FL2 are replaced among the components included in the polishing apparatus PA, the cover window CG may be uniformly processed. Accordingly, the cost of processing the cover window CG may be reduced.
