Ultra-thin Glass: G-Leaf™

Lightweight and bendable glass

This bendable glass achieves flexibility by being ultra-thin. With a thickness of 200µm or less, it is exceptionally lightweight, and at under 100µm, it can be rolled up, enabling roll-to-roll processing for improved delivery efficiency. It maintains the excellent properties of glass, such as heat resistance and gas barrier properties, making it a promising material for the development of new devices that were previously unachievable.

Applications

  • Flexible displays
  • Solar cells (Perovskite solar cells, solar cells on satellites, etc.)
  • Wearable devices
  • OLED displays
  • Touch panels
  • Electronic paper

Specifications

Flexibility

The ultra-thin thickness of the glass minimizes the tensile stress caused by bending. As a result, even with a reduced bending radius, the glass remains intact without fracturing, providing exceptional flexibility.
