SEOUL, Dec. 30 (Yonhap) -- SK Innovation Co., South Korea's major energy-chemical firm, said Sunday it will showcase a key part of flexible displays at the CES 2019 slated for next month in the United States.

The company said it will introduce its flexible cover window, which is utilized in flexible displays.

SK Innovation has been making various efforts to penetrate deeper into the flexible display segment, including the coating technology that allows screens to endure being bent tens of thousands of times.
