The new display on the Nintendo Switch (organic EL model) is made of glass, but users cannot directly touch it. The reason is that the display has an 'anti-scattering adhesive film' on it. Anti-scattering adhesive films are usually applied to protect the display from scratches and help prevent damage to the more expensive display glass.

The regular versions of Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite use a plastic display, so I didn't have to worry about 'cracking the display', but the Nintendo Switch (which uses a glass display) This is not the case with the organic EL model), so an anti-scattering adhesive film is attached.

The Verge said of this anti-scattering adhesive film for display protection, 'Maybe ordinary users will not notice the existence of the anti-scattering adhesive film when looking at the display of Nintendo Switch (organic EL model), but Nintendo Clearly warns you not to peel off this film. The Nintendo Switch (OLED model) instructions say 'Do not remove the anti-scattering adhesive film from the organic EL display on the console. It is written. '

This kind of protective film is not technically new. The Galaxy Fold, a foldable smartphone released by Samsung, went up in flames with a series of reports that 'the display was damaged on the day of getting it' when the ban on reviews for stakeholders was lifted. This Galaxy Fold also has a sheet layer for display protection, and some reviewers have reported that the protective sheet layer has been peeled off.

The Verge confirmed with Nintendo that even if a commercially available display protection film is pasted on top of this anti-scattering adhesive film that protects the display in advance, it can be used without any problems. In fact, some of Nintendo's licensed products are protective films for the Nintendo Switch (organic EL model).
