Samsung,
filed for the first UTG-related trademark in the industry,
Samsung
recently applied for a trademark in 38 countries under the name of “SAMSUNG
UTG”. UTG is an ultra thin tempered glass, which is used as a protective film
for foldables. Samsung UTG's trademark contains the phrase, `` Though, yet
Tender. '' It is made of glass material and expresses the characteristics of
UTG that has rigidity and foldability.

Half
successful Galaxy Fold,
Samsung's
first foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold, was unveiled in February 1919. However,
in April, its launching was delayed because the display protection film was
easily removed and foreign matter entered into the hinge. This problem was
solved and relaunched in September, and as a result, it made a great success
that the volume could not keep up with demand, but the fundamental problem of
display was not completely solved.

UTG,
a new protective film for troubleshooting the Galaxy Fold,
The
protective film used for the Galaxy Fold was plastic CPI (Colorless Polyimide).
Because plastic is easy to process and very elastic, it doesn't leave any marks
after folding it thousands of times, but on the other hand it’s weak to heat
and easy to scratch. Experts anticipate that CPI replacement will be inevitable
to solve the display problem in the Galaxy Fold. Samsung has developed a
glass-based UTG to solve this problem. Unlike CPI, UTG is not easily scratched,
has a good touch, and expresses luxury
that is difficult with plastic materials.

On
February 11, Samsung Electronics unveiled its first foldable phone, the ‘Galaxy
Z Flip’. Samsung Display said it has received UTG durability verification from
Bureau Veritas, a French technology certification company, and has passed the
folding test of folding/unfolding 200,000 times in order not to repeat the
mistake of the previous Galaxy Fold. Accordingly, it announced that it plans to
apply UTG to various foldable devices to be released in the future. There is
some concern that it is difficult to see UTG as fully durable. We’re going to
have to pay attention to how Samsung, which has shown the best technology, can
dispel concerns and show high degree of completeness.
