Mobile phone sapphire screen will be put into mass production within one year

**Abstract** Sapphire is one of the hardest materials in the world, second only to diamonds. In June 2013, the Asia Mobile Communications Expo (GSMA 2013) took place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from June 26th to 28th. As a major event showcasing new products and technologies in the mobile industry, it attracted top manufacturers like Lenovo, BBK, vivo, Samsung, Sony, and Huawei. These companies displayed their latest devices and innovative tech. Meanwhile, China's three main telecom operators—China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom—along with companies like Visa, Rovio, and App Lab, also made their debut at the event. When it comes to alternatives for Corning’s Gorilla Glass in the mobile device market, sapphire stands out as a strong contender. If you're tired of scratched phone screens, sapphire might be the solution you’re looking for. Known for its exceptional hardness, it ranks just below diamonds on the Mohs scale. This means that even without a screen protector, a sapphire screen can resist scratches from sand, dust, and other small particles. It's expected to compete closely with Gorilla Glass in the near future. The key factors that determine whether sapphire can challenge Gorilla Glass are cost and production capacity. These two aspects will shape the market landscape over the next year or so. While sapphire has been around for over a century, its use in consumer electronics was limited due to high costs and low yield. However, with recent technological advances, sapphire production has become more efficient and reliable. International collaboration has helped improve crystal quality and output, making sapphire a viable option for mass production. In terms of touch sensitivity, sapphire has a dielectric constant that is 30% higher than that of regular glass. This makes it potentially more responsive on touchscreens. Although it won’t completely replace Gorilla Glass anytime soon, both materials are likely to coexist in the market for a long time. To truly understand the strength of sapphire, watching a video demonstration is the best way. In one test, an iPhone 5 was fitted with a custom sapphire cover. Despite being repeatedly exposed to sharp stones, the sapphire layer remained undamaged. Even substances like fingerprints and sweat could be easily wiped away without any issues. While sapphire isn’t a new material, its application in mobile devices has been limited by cost and production challenges. But with ongoing improvements, it’s now more accessible and ready to make a real impact. The industry is working on better coordination between material suppliers and device manufacturers to fully realize sapphire’s potential. This process is expected to be completed within the next year or so.
