Improved adhesion layer in flexible cover plate

Exemplary flexible cover plates and methods of making the same are described. The methods may include exposing a surface of the 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. The silane-containing adhesion promoter may be bonded to the silicon-containing adhesion layer. The method may also include forming a hard coating on the silicon-containing adhesion layer, wherein the silane-containing adhesion promoter is bonded to both the hard coating and the silicon-containing adhesion layer. The illustrative flexible cover plate manufactured by the method is less susceptible to folding fatigue along the bending or folding axis of the cover plate. 描述了示例性柔性盖板及其制造方法。这些方法可包括将基板层的表面暴露于表面处理等离子体以形成基板层的经处理表面。含硅粘附层可以沉积在基板层的经处理表面上。含硅烷粘附促进剂可结合在含硅粘附层上。该方法亦可包括在含硅粘附层上形成硬涂层，其中该含硅烷粘附促进剂键合到硬涂层和含硅粘附层两者。借由本方法制造的例示性柔性盖板较不易沿着盖板的弯曲或折叠轴线经受折叠疲劳。
