In 2021 it was likely done within glass. It will now be done within the foldable screen itself.

Samsung has incorporated in-cell touch technology into its foldable devices, allowing for a thin and integrated touch layer that contributes to the device's overall slimness and screen functionality, enabling the seamless experience users expect from its Z Fold and Z Flip series. This technology involves integrating the touch sensor into the screen's display layers, removing the need for a separate touch digitizer and reducing component thickness. This allows Samsung's foldable phones to be thinner and lighter while maintaining high performance and user experience.

What is in-cell touch?



  • Integrated touch sensor:
    Instead of having a separate touch layer on top of the display, in-cell touch technology embeds the touch sensor directly into the display's layers.



  • Reduced thickness:
    This design significantly reduces the overall thickness of the display module, making the device thinner and lighter.



Benefits for Samsung foldables



  • Thinner and lighter design:
    The integration of the touch sensor allows for thinner phone designs, a key focus for recent models like the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.



  • Seamless user experience:
    The reduced thickness contributes to a more comfortable and natural feel in the hand, enhancing the experience of both folded and unfolded usage.



  • Enhanced functionality:
    By optimizing the screen design, Samsung can also enhance features like the cover screen's width and overall screen performance, providing a better experience for everyday tasks like typing and browsing.
