SCHOTT said it offers the industry’s most flexible glass, with a bending radius lower than 2 mm and thicknesses less than a human hair after processing.
Besides its flexibility, Xensation Flex can be chemically toughened.
This makes it a suitable material for flip phones, which require both flexible and strong displays. The high-transparency of Xensation Flex makes it a premium option to create a high-end user experience.
SCHOTT introduced Xensation Flex, the most flexible ultra-thin glass that is available in mass production.
The new flexible cover glass product line-up offers bending radii below 2 mm after processing and is an addition to the company’s Xensation high-performance glass portfolio.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip has brought flexible displays to the smartphone universe, revitalizing the flip phone concept for the mobile era.
“We are supplying ultra-thin glass to Samsung now. This means our technology and high-volume production capability are in a leading position versus other glass players. We continue to improve and strengthen our ultra-thin glass offering with the official market launch of the Xensation Flex brand," said Dr. Feng He, head of Global Product Management and Application of SCHOTT UTG Product.
