Fingerprint-proof flexible plastic could soon replace Gorilla Glass 9H 91%T .4%H


Fingerprint-proof flexible plastic could soon replace Gorilla Glass | Cell Phones & Mobile Device Technology News & Updates | Geek.com: "Buy a phone or tablet today and the surface you will be tapping your fingers on is made of glass. But glass is relatively heavy and fragile, meaning if you drop it or place it next to your keys in a pocket, chances are you’re going to end up with some permanent scratches or possibly a cracked display.

Dai Nippon Printing (DPN) may have just solved that problem, though. The Japanese company has developed a hard-wearing plastic sheet that it believes can replace cover glass on both phones and tablets.

The plastic cover’s pencil hardness is rated at 9H (the same level as corundum and Gorilla Glass, but half has hard as diamond), while its light transmittance is rated at 91.2% and haze at 0.4%."
