[CNMO science and technology news] On May 17, according to Korean media, Samsung is expected to launch a new folding mobile phone Galaxy Z Flip6 in the second half of the year. The ultra-thin glass (UTG) used for its outer screen is thicker than the previous generation.This change aims to improve the surface hardness by increasing the thickness of UTG, so that the crease in the middle of the folding screen is less conspicuous.In terms of design, Samsung Electronics decided to use the previous generation of water drop shaped hinge design on Z Flip6, while next year's Z Flip7 is expected to use the newly designed hinge, and the UTG structure may also be adjusted accordingly.
According to industry news, the thickness of the outer screen UTG of Z Flip6 has increased to about 50 μ m, which is significantly improved compared with the 30 μ m UTG previously used.This not only enhances the surface hardness of UTG, but also effectively reduces the appearance of creases in the center of the folding screen.As early as last year, Samsung first applied the water drop hinge design on the Galaxy Z5 series to reduce folding marks.
It is reported that Samsung is developing new hinge structures and UTG structures in order to make the folding screen creases of the Galaxy Z Flip7 released next year more imperceptible.It is expected that the UTG of Z Flip7 will be further thickened when the UTG thickness of Z Flip6 increases to about 50 microns.In order to realize the thickening of UTG, the adjustment of hinge structure is a necessary support.Samsung Electronics will finalize the product specifications for next year based on market feedback and technology development.
Reducing creases in the middle of the folding screen is also one of Apple's concerns.Apple has long cooperated with Samsung Display and LG Display to develop foldable products, explicitly requiring Korean panel manufacturers to solve the folding screen crease problem.
