Optimus Vitrum Raises £600,000 for Toughened Glass Innovation

Optimus Vitrum, a University of Leeds (UK) spin-out, is advancing a new way to make toughened glass for mobile phone screens and wearable devices. Led by Professor Gin Jose, the company has developed technology that aims to help resolve a key challenge facing the global mobile industry – how to create thinner, more flexible screens for smartphones and other electronic devices without making them more vulnerable to cracking. The process uses lasers instead of chemicals to treat the glass, resulting in more uniform toughening and better performance.
