On August 25th, the flexible foldable glass production line of AHKS Glass Technology Group was officially put into commercial production.
Beginning in 2019, AHKS has closely followed the development trend of flexible and foldable electronic information industry, using its own scientific research and industrialization capabilities in flexible touch glass, integrating the advantages of its scientific research strengths at the Glass Technology Research Institute and Optoelectronics Research Institute to independently develop high The strong flexible glass formula and the new technology of thinning, strengthening, cutting and forming process produce mainstream specifications ultra-thin flexible glass with a thickness of 30-70 microns, which can achieve 200,000 continuous bending times without damage, and the bending radius is less than 1.5 mm. The main performance indicators and parameters are at the leading level in the industry, forming the only domestic production chain of ultra-thin flexible glass (UTG, Ultra Thin Glass) covering "high-strength glass-ultra-thin thinning-high-precision post-processing" in China, breaking the foreign Monopoly has guaranteed the security of China's information display industry chain from the source.
Peng Shou, chairman of AHKS, said that the successful research of 30-micron flexible foldable glass is that AHKS produced the world's thinnest 0.12mm ultra-thin glass in 2018. In 2019, it will roll off the 8.5-generation float LCD glass with independent intellectual property rights. After the substrate, another major innovation was achieved in 2020. This achievement is the result of the efforts of the vast number of scientific researchers and the result of the cooperation of the AHKS entire industry chain. This will become the world's leading technology and product for the entire industry chain of new glass materials in China. After the mass production of the products, further investment will be increased to make BB the capital of flexible glass, foldable glass and display glass in China.
Flexibility and foldability are the development trends of the display industry, which can make information display terminals more portable and diversified in functions. Many terminal manufacturers are investing heavily in the folding field to develop new products. Due to material restrictions, most of the released foldable mobile phones use flexible CPI plastic substrates for their outer screens. Due to their poor surface hardness and mechanical fatigue resistance, users will experience fold marks to varying degrees after using them for a period of time. Affect user experience. UTG has the characteristics of ultra-thin, wear-resistant, high strength, bendable, and good resilience, and is considered to be an important new development direction for flexible folding cover. Well-known domestic and foreign companies are actively deploying.
