Touch Display Research believes touch screen is critical to flexible displays, because: 1. Touch screen can provide the interactive function. 2. Touch cover lens can act like the protection layer to the flexible display.

Foldable touch screen and foldable cover lens is analyzed in the “Flexible Display & Flexible Touch Technologies, Supply Chain and Market Forecast 2018 Report (3rd Edition)”. This report profiles over 270 companies working on flexible display and flexible touch screens.
