“Everybody knows this painful moment when the handset slips through one’s fingers. Our Xensation® team worked hard to make future smartphones unbreakable – we are not there yet, but a big step forward.”
Dr. Lutz Klippe, Head of Product Group Cover at SCHOTT
Your smartphone is always in your hand. Until it drops. With Xensation® Up., SCHOTT brings cover glass to the next level, reducing the painful problem of cracked smartphone displays.
Xensation® Up. is a chemically-strengthened lithium alumino-silicate (LAS) glass with upgraded strength, flexibility and reliability. It beats out standard alumino-silicate glass (AS) in set drop tests by 10 times higher drop height.
How did we achieve that? Of course through a long, innovative research process. But over all there is no magic behind it. Big iones replace smaller ones in the glass surface to increase the strength. This process makes our Xensation® Up. cover glass one of the most robust glasses available today.
Let us take a big step towards the ultimate vision: unbreakable smartphones.

Jack Ju, Head of Product Group UTG Cover at SCHOTT
“Glass is rigid. Glass is fragile. And it breaks when bending it.” - At SCHOTT, we don’t think so!
SCHOTT developed a unique production process, drawing molten glass down so quickly, that it gets thinner than a human hair. Thicknesses far below 100 µm are possible, while keeping the glass’ ability to be chemically toughened.
Our ultra-thin glass Xensation® Flex with the unique combination of strength and ultra-thinness is a perfect choice for foldable OLED displays – and applications such as flexible or even foldable smartphones or wearables.
SCHOTT produces Xensation® Flex in its high-end melting facilities in Germany. The processing takes place in Asia, where the leading smartphone and display technology innovators are located.
Let us re-define the mobile world, as we see it: With designs that have not been possible before.

There is an ever greater need of good quality and high performance glass and SCHOTT specialty glass is proud to be key enablers in this field.”
Hai Kwang Benjamin Lim, Head of Sales Office Singapore/GM at SCHOTT
The number of sensor and camera modules in the mobile sphere is increasing at an exponential rate.
Specialty thin glass from SCHOTT, in thicknesses ranging from sub 0.1 – 1.1 mm, plays a critical role in the manufacturing of key components for facial recognition, fingerprint sensor and AR features. It is a perfect fit for the Time of Flight (ToF), Structured Light and Stereo Vision sensors.
In camera modules, thin glass has optimal optical characteristics that can be use for Wafer Level Optics (WLO), Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs), and Narrow band pass near infrared (NIR) filters.
The diverse thickness range of SCHOTT thin glasses also allows high degree of accuracy and precision needed for different layers inside those components.
SCHOTT is redefining sensors in mobile devices.
