CORNING, N.Y.; AUGUST 27, 2018- Corning
Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced it will exhibit
technologies from its advanced glass portfolio at Touch Taiwan
2018, Aug. 29-31, at the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang
Exhibition Center in Taiwan.
At booth #M1334, Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 will
take center stage as Corning's most durable cover glass to date. On
average, in labs, Gorilla Glass 6 survived 15 consecutive 1 meter
drops onto rough surfaces, and is up to two times better than
Gorilla® Glass 5.
Today, Gorilla Glass has been designed into more than 6 billion
devices by more than 45 major brands.
"In addition to addressing drop height and drop
frequency, Corning developed Gorilla Glass 6 to meet the
requirements of modern designs that use glass on both the front and
the back of the device," said James Hollis, division vice
president, sales and applications engineering, Corning Gorilla
Glass, and commercial director, Gorilla Glass Parts, Specialty
Materials. "We see a bright future with Gorilla Glass 6 and are
sure that it will continue to be the cover glass of choice for
mobile consumer electronics."
During Touch Taiwan, James Hollis will deliver a
keynote presentation at the Innovation and Application Panel on
Wednesday, Aug. 29.
"Corning is confident in providing high-quality
support to Taiwanese and Asian customers for technology
development, product testing, engineering, and manufacturing
processes," said Daniel Tseng, president, Corning Display
Technologies Taiwan. Our advanced glass portfolio on display this
year showcases the many ways we meet customer
requirements."
Corning will highlight:
- Corning Gorilla Glass for Automotive Interiors -
a tough, damage-resistant cover glass with outstanding touch
sensitivity and optical clarity. It can be cold-formed into
beautiful and complex shapes for seamlessly integrated automotive
displays.
- Corning® EAGLE
XG® Slim Glass
substrates - enabling panel manufacturers to innovate for thinner,
lighter, and more environmentally conscious display panels. EAGLE
XG Glass delivers dimensional stability and exceptionally clean,
smooth, flat surfaces with no added heavy metals.
- Corning Lotus(TM) NXT Glass
- enhancing the design and manufacture of high-performance
displays, and optimized for the expanding LTPS-LCD and LTPS-OLED
segments. Featuring superior key attributes for flexible OLED panel
manufacturing, Lotus NXT Glass leads that segment, having enabled
more than 250 million flexible OLED phones since 2015.
- Corning Iris(TM) Glass - a
glass light-guide plate for edge-lit LCD TVs and monitors. Due to
its intrinsic rigidity and dimensional stability, it outperforms
the incumbent technology - plastic - and allows manufacturers to
reduce set thickness, increase set brightness, and design sets with
slimmer bezels.
-
Corning Precision Glass Solutions - offering
high-precision wafer- and panel-format glass-based solutions,
enabling faster processing speeds, smaller form factors, and
enhanced optical performance in a variety of applications across
microelectonics, including 3D sensing components, augmented reality
devices, and radio frequency (RF) filters.
- Corning Laser Technologies - offering laser
glass-processing systems with the ability to cut Corning Gorilla
Glass, Lotus NXT Glass, and EAGLE XG Glass, as well as other
chemically strengthened and non-strengthened glass types including
soda-lime and other brittle materials. Adapting to customer design
requirements, Laser Technologies enables high-volume production of
touchscreen displays for smart phones, tablet PCs, and other
consumer products.
