Samsung’s next foldable display trick could make creases much less noticeable
A redesigned ultra-thin glass layer could make future Galaxy Z Folds flatter and tougher.
Samsung Display, the company behind the cutting-edge displays for Samsung's foldable smartphones, is reportedly working on a new glass technology that could significantly reduce the unsightly creases common to current foldable devices. This new innovation, dubbed CTG (Center Etched Thin Glass), is a next-generation version of the ultra-thin glass currently used in Samsung's OLED panels.
According to industry sources cited by ZDNet, this groundbreaking technology may be ready for commercial use as early as the Galaxy Z Fold 9 series, if development continues as planned. Samsung's latest foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, have been met with strong demand, with their pre-orders setting new records.
Amid this success, Samsung seems to be already preparing for the future, with CTG potentially addressing one of the main drawbacks of foldable displays. However, it remains to be seen if this technology will indeed be implemented in future Samsung releases, as it is currently still under development.
