Ultra-thin glass: Making fiction a reality
Dr. Feng He, manager for Electronic Application at SCHOTT China, has been working closely with several fingerprint sensor manufacturers. They have shared a dream of developing an ultra-thin strong glass for their applications which has outstanding technical properties and is environmentally friendly.
Feng He contacts Mario Haas, who is responsible for the production of ultra-thin glass at SCHOTT’s German plant in Gruenenplan. Haas and his team translate Feng’s initial idea into manageable production processes which support his approach.
