LG's developers have shared information on creating an innovative protective coating for the displays of mobile devices. The design is far superior to ultra-thin flexible glass in its parameters. In the future, this solution can be implemented for commercial use.
According to company representatives, the proprietary material has both high flexibility of plastic and hardness of glass. The film thickness is measured in a few micrometers, and no cracks form at the folds. It is planned that the material will be applied to smartphones, including devices with outward-folding displays.
The test results showed that the screen with this protection can withstand at least 200 thousand bends, which in theory will be enough for 5 years of device operation. LG is going to start mass production of technological coating next year, and the first devices with it will appear on the market in 2023. In addition, in the future, tablets, laptops and other gadgets may well acquire such protection.
