Nice feature, scratches were not that big but results after are still quite impressive. Now we want that self-healing technology for TV/smartphone/tablet... screens.

Yeah, indeed - very nice feature. What buggles me though is that noone knows for sure (except LG) how this works. There are different methods (known and somehow described to public) on how self-healing is possible, but there's no confirmation from LG on used technique.

Yet why not put it on the screen? Back plates aren't important, and they can be cheaply replaced often.

I really wonder how it works, seems very cool. They should put this tech on gorilla glass

neat

I've stumbled somewhere on internet about some HiTech self-healing car paint maybe about year and half ago: after modest scratch on car paint that paint "heals" itself after some time, few minutes or so. There was some pics and videos about that and I was more than impressed, but... But after more than half year ago I was live witness of that technology, I guess that was the same thing I saw on internet year before that. Some (rich) guy here near my town has found someone (I don't know where and who was that misterious car painter) to pain him his tuned car with probably the same self-healing technology based paint: in front of me he has scrached the car paint a bit with a coin and maybe 10 minutes later scratch on that place has gone! "WTF was that?" I've asked him "...and where did you found that paint or whatever that thing is?" "Shhhhhhhh..." was his answer.... "Go to hell man!" was my comment on that and I was not able to get anything more from him about that, I was almost ready to beat the crap out of him because he has showed me that "thing". :bang:

Yet why not put it on the screen?

If they do that (in near future I'm sure they will be forced to use that to stay above competition) then phone/screen manufacturers would loose a lot of money because we would not buy new phones and screens every few months/year because of scrached screens, screen would be literally unscrachable/undestructable in normal everyday use with that paint or whatever that thing is.

Isn't Gorilla glass already supposed to be scratchproof? [EDIT] So apparently its not scratch proof but scratch-resistant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass Self healing glass screens would be cool though 🙂
