Smartphone users are always concerned that their device could drop and that the display could be damaged. To prevent this from happening, consumers usually apply an additional thin protective glass film to protect their display cover glass. SCHOTT has now developed an eco-friendly, ultra-thin glass with outstanding mechanical properties.
The new glass SCHOTT AS 87 eco for protective cell phone display glass films, but also other consumer electronics applications like fingerprint sensors or camera lenses, provides high quality and eco-friendliness. It will be presented at the C-Touch in Shenzhen, China, from Nov. 24-26, 2016.
Normal thin protective glass film and some FPS (fingerprint sensor) covers are often produced by using chemical etching technologies. The disadvantage is that extremely dangerous hydrofluoric acid is used to make the cover glasses thin. In comparison to such an environmentally harmful technology, SCHOTT has developed a sophisticated process, which allows for the manufacturing of ultra-thin thickness ranges directly out of the melt – without any additional slimming and without using hazardous substances.
AS 87 eco ultra-thin glass can reach extremely high strength after ion exchange treatment and reliably secures sensitive electronic parts like fingerprint sensors, camera lenses or touchscreen cover glass from cracks and scratches.
