Technology for Non-Breaking Smartphone Display Developed



- A high-strength plastic display has been developed by applying a glass-fiber fabric -
- “Will bring about innovation to the field by replacing substituting glass substrates” -
It is now possible to materialize manufacture non-breaking smartphone display. Heavy glass substrates of large-screen televisions will be replaced with light plastic films.

Professor Choon Sup Yoon, from KAIST’s Department of Physics and KAIST Institute for Information Technology Convergence, has developed the technology for high-strength plastic substrates to replace glass display substrates.
