The American company Akhan Semiconductor has developed ultra-strong diamond glass that can be used to produce foldable smartphones.
Glass called Miraj Diamond Glass is made of nanodiamonds and is primarily intended for the production of displays of folding devices. The manufacturer claims that compared to the Corning counterpart, diamond glass is six times stronger than Gorilla Glass. The thickness of the material is only 100 nanometers.
Among the characteristics of Miraj Diamond Glass, the property of repelling liquids and fats is declared, so the glass does not require additional processing with an oleophobic coating. Akhan Semiconductor clarifies that the new material has already been demonstrated to several smartphone manufacturers who have fully approved the invention. Corning is also working on a flexible material that has a thickness of 0.1 millimeters and a bending amplitude of up to five millimeters.
