Corning to Highlight Advanced Glass Innovations for Consumer Electronics at CES 2015
January 02 2015 - 8:30AM
Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4, Optical Cables by Corning, and
much more on display
CORNING, N.Y., January 2,
2015 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced
its plans for the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in
Las Vegas, beginning Tuesday. With glass poised to become the
quintessential material for unlocking new capabilities and
applications, Corning will showcase the critical role that glass
plays in consumer electronic devices and beyond.
At the Corning booth - number 12847, Central Hall,
Las Vegas Convention Center - the company will feature:
- Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4: Broken screens due to
device drops are a common problem for consumers. Gorilla Glass 4
performs up to two times better than competitive glass designs when
dropped from 1 meter in laboratory tests.
- Optical Cables by Corning: The first all-optical
fiber cables for the Thunderbolt(TM) and USB
3.0 communities. These cables are fast, thin, light, and remarkably
tough, making them ideal for entertainment (audio, video, editing,
and photography), healthcare, and education environments. Be on the
lookout for a special Optical Cables by Corning contest, coming
soon.
- Corning® Fibrance(TM)
Light-Diffusing Fiber: A glass optical fiber made for thin,
colorful, aesthetic lighting, Fibrance enables decorative lighting
to be designed or embedded into tight or small places where other
bulky lighting elements cannot fit.
"Innovation is at the heart of Corning's culture,"
said Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer, and
president. "We are constantly looking for ways to reimagine glass
to help inspire the development of more advanced technologies. At
CES, we will showcase the critical role that glass plays in making
consumer devices that allow people to stay connected on the go,
while offering the latest in aesthetics and design."
