Perhaps because BOE does not have access to UTG, the foldable display will use CPI.
The CPI film is at 220㎛ including layers of PET film and PSA, it’s also reportedly thinner than UTG cover windows with measurements of 250~270㎛. The downside to CPI is that it tends to wrinkle after substantial use. In contrast, the best features of UTG are its hardness, visibility and wrinkle resistance. It also offers a firm and solid aesthetic compared to the inevitably plastic look of CPI film.
