A new plastic able to flex while also resisting scratches could replace the glass currently used on smartphones.
Developed by Dai Nippon Printing of Japan, the plastic is made up of two separate layers—one that gives strength and another that resists fingerprints. According to the company, the display has a pencil hardness of 9H, which is on par with enamels and ceramics, and was not scratched even when scraped with 7 pounds of pressure from steel wool. In addition, the flexibility helps prevent the material from shattering if dropped and allows for a bendable display.
DNP will being shipping samples of the material in 2013.
