Corning® Astra™ Glass Chosen for CCPD’s Oxide-LCD Line
August 22 2019 - 8:30AM
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced the selection of
Corning® Astra™ Glass by Chengdu CEC Panda Display Technology Co.,
Ltd., (CCPD) for its line of oxide-TFT liquid crystal display (LCD)
panels used primarily for high-performance, large-size TVs and
monitors. Corning was named majority display glass supplier for
CCPD’s Oxide-LCD panels.
“Corning is pleased to work alongside CCPD to implement Astra
Glass as the foundation for the next evolution of high-performance
oxide-TFT displays,” said Han Yim, business director, High
Performance Displays, Corning Glass Technologies. “CCPD has quickly
become a valued collaborator for Corning and we look forward to
continuing to enable immersive viewing experiences with Astra Glass
in their displays.”
CCPD, one of the industry’s leading oxide panel makers, selected
Astra Glass as its backplane substrate because it has the inherent
fidelity – dimensional and thermal stability – to thrive in
high-temperature oxide-TFT fabrication for immersive
high-performance displays. High-temperature oxide-TFT technology
helps panel makers achieve high resolutions while providing
attractive panel economics, particularly in large form factors,
like TVs.
CCPD’s advanced oxide-TFT process
is widely used in 4K and 8K display panels. Corning
will showcase one of these displays, completely designed by CCPD
and enabled by Corning® Astra™ Glass and CCPD’s latest core
technologies of Oxide PAT, Super-UVA, Cu connect, at Touch Taiwan
2019, August 28-30 in Taipei.
Corning introduced Astra Glass globally in May 2019. Astra Glass
joins industry-favorite Corning® EAGLE XG® Slim Glass and
premium-performance Corning Lotus™ NXT Glass in Corning’s
advantaged display glass portfolio. Corning is collaborating with
valued customers to define the next chapter of display technology
with this advantaged and proven portfolio.
