Make devices thinner and lighter—without sacrificing performance！
Flexibility
Flexible and bendable
High gas barrier properties
Compared to resin, it allows little or no passage of water vapor, oxygen, or other gases.
Surface smoothness
High flatness and low roughness are maintained, even without polishing.
Lightweight
Very thin and lightweight
Low thermal expansion
Compared to resins and metals, it has a low CTE and good dimensional stability.
Further performance can be added to ultra-thin glass!
Applications
Considered for a wide range of applications
Solar cells
Touch panels
Electronic paper
Wearable devices
Ultra-thin Glass Variations by NEG
Base Glass
Ultra-thin Glass: G-Leaf™
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.
Features
- High light transmittance
- Delivered in roll form
Applications
- Perovskite solar cells
- Flexible displays
+UV Cut
UV Shielding Ultra-thin Glass: BDX-2
This ultra-thin glass offers exceptional UV shielding properties, protecting devices from air, moisture, and ultraviolet rays, thereby extending their lifespan. Its thin and lightweight design also helps reduce the overall weight of devices.
Features
- High UV shielding properties
- Lightweight
Applications
- Satellites (solar cells, optics covers, etc.)
- HAPS
+Bending Strength
Ultra-thin Glass for Chemical Strengthening: Dinorex UTG™
This glass has been developed for cover glass for foldable displays. It boasts excellent bending properties due to its high surface smoothness and uniform thickness, and can withstand bending with a diameter as small as 3mm (R1.5).
Features
- Excellent bending properties
- Uniform thickness
Applications
- Cover glass for foldable displays
+Shatterproof
Ultra-thin Glass Laminated on Resin: Lamion™ [Flexible Type]
This hybrid material combines Ultra-thin Glass G-Leaf™ with resin film,offering the advantages of both materials. It features scratch resistance, excellent gas barrier properties, lightweight, and impact resistance. It can be used as a substitute for resin materials in areas where high gas barrier properties or dimensional stability are required.
Features
- Shatterproof
- Dimensional stability
- Flexible
Applications
- Mold for Nanoimprint lithography (NIL)
- Flexible displays
+Coating
Thin Film Coatings enhance Ultra-thin glass performance by adding advanced functionality and value. By applying metal or dielectric coatings to the glass surface, new capabilities are introduced.
Coating Types
- Transparent Conductive Coating
- Anti-reflection/Ultra-low Reflection Coating
- UV Cut Filter
Features
- Low defectivity
- High durability
