So, you may display your next smartphone may come to be made of sapphire . Currently, sapphire is used even in vehicles due to its military strength, and it is believed that if used to create the screens of smartphones, then the same would become very resistant to scratches and falls, and even be able to survive without typical problems fall on a concrete floor.
Sapphire is one of the world's toughest minerals, surpassed only by diamond. Obviously, it being a type of precious gem, the price of a screen of sapphire would be a bit high, costing $ 30 each, while the standard of today, the Gorilla Glass, costs about $ 3.
According to a report from MIT, GT Advanced Technologies is working on a method to create sapphire sheets thinner than a human hair and are looking for a way to reduce the cost of production. Not expected to reach these screens cost the price of a Gorilla Glass, but perhaps costing about 3 or 4 times, which is good when compared with the cost 10 times more than today.
Does it seem possible that smartphones can take this kind of display?
