LG’s new foldable display technology aims to teach Samsung how to do this
The technological world seems to have become more interesting. If you haven’t heard of it, foldable smartphones have begun to become a thing in the past few years. Unfortunately, the display panels of these foldable devices will crease after repeated opening and closing.
In fact, the latest foldable smartphones have become stronger and more durable, but none of the devices on the market currently have a display panel as sturdy as glass. But obviously, due to LG Chem and its latest announcement, things are about to change.
LG recently announced a new foldable display material that makes the screen panel as hard as glass and at the same time as flexible as plastic. This means that future foldable devices can improve durability and strength.
“The’Real Folding Window’ developed by LG Chem is coated with a new material with a thickness of several tens of microns (㎛) on both sides of the PET film. The PET film is a thin plastic to improve heat resistance and mechanical properties. Plastic Material.”

“Different from the existing polyimide film and tempered glass materials, the cover window using LG Chem’s new coating technology will maximize flexibility, while also providing optimized solutions for foldable mobile phones, such as improving chronic Problems, such as fold marks on the connecting part. Screen.”
The new foldable display panel was officially announced as a “true folding window.” This new panel is realized by applying a specially developed coating material on the transparent PET film (a thermoplastic polymer resin) on both sides of the panel. This process then provides a thin plastic-like heat-resistant panel that can withstand 200,000 folds without creases. The best part is that the user can fold it in and out.
Now, according to Chang Do Ki, the head of the IT materials department and vice president:
“We will strengthen our partnership with leading companies in the smartphone industry, and expand our market starting from mobile phones, and expand to new foldable applications such as laptops and tablets.”
