Ultra thin glass in foldable display

New trends and designs of foldable smartphones – so-called “foldables” or “flip phones” – rather demand cover glasses that are flexible, and offer a very small bending radius. SCHOTT is presenting a groundbreaking product in this area. Xensation^® Flex is the first ultra-thin cover glass on the market that enables a bending radius of less than two millimeters after processing and chemical strengthening. SCHOTT has started producing several different types of ultra-thin glasses 1990s by down-draw process. The process offers an advantage in that the glass does not need secondary slimming and thus eliminating downstream etching processes that are harmful to the environment. Xensation^® Flex shines with the unmatched tight dimension precision from macro to micro scales and a flawless surface, in addition to the outstanding ease for processing and strengthening characteristics.
