Sapphire plan to use for your mobile device

Quite possibly, soon sapphire replace Gorilla Glass in mobile devices. According to Technology Review, the engineers of GT Advanced Technologies (NH) are working on a technology that will make the sapphire panel displays thinner than a human hair, and more affordable. Of course, we are talking about artificially produced sapphire, not natural precious minerals.

Now the cost of glass Gorilla Glass for the screen of a mobile device is less than $ 3 per panel, and if it is made of sapphire, the cost will be about $ 30 - that is, an order of magnitude greater. If we can reduce the price to at least $ 20 per share and less, sapphire can be used completely for windows mobile devices. The more so that the sapphire is three times more durable and resistant to scratches than Gorilla Glass. Of course, is unlikely to get fitted with sapphire crystal any mobile phone, including low-end models, but for high-end smartphones such glasses may well be an acceptable solution.
