24 August 2016 - 6:30AM
CORNING, N.Y., August 23, 2016
- Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced it will
showcase innovations from its Corning Glass Technologies portfolio
at Touch Taiwan, Aug. 24-26 at the Taipei World Trade Center
Nangang Exhibition Hall in Taiwan.
Corning's booth (N1205) will feature recently
launched Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, a cover glass that takes tough
to new heights while maintaining leadership in optical clarity,
touch sensitivity, and damage resistance. Responding to consumers'
number-one issue with mobile devices, the new cover glass is
designed to provide further protection against breakage from
everyday drops. Rigorous lab tests show that Gorilla Glass 5
survives drops onto rough, unforgiving surfaces up to four times
better than competitive glass designs.
Other Corning technologies highlighted in the
booth include:
- Vibrant Corning® Gorilla® Glass: A
decorative design technology, Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass
provides new design options for printing on Corning's
industry-leading cover glass solution. OEMs and their customers can
now express their style with multicolor, photo-realistic decorative
designs for devices with the same toughness and optical clarity
they have come to expect from Corning Gorilla Glass.
- Corning Iris(TM) Glass:
Recently named a Display Component of the Year by the Society for
Information Display, this high-transmission glass used as a
light-guide plate enables set makers to design edge-lit LCD TVs
less than 5 millimeters thick. Iris Glass delivers outstanding
transmission and minimizes color shift, delivering vibrant displays
with immersive colors.
- Corning Lotus(TM) NXT Glass: Lotus NXT Glass is
designed to endure the high-temperature manufacturing processes
required to make cutting-edge displays. It features dimensional
stability, which enables energy-efficient devices with higher
resolutions and brightness. Lotus NXT Glass is uniquely optimized
for LTPS-LCD and LTPS-OLED panel-making processes.
- Corning Semiconductor Glass Products: Ideal for
advanced semiconductor packaging and carriers in the semiconductor
manufacturing process, Corning's precision glass wafers provide
exceptionally low total-thickness variation and low warp in a wide
range of form factors, sizes, and coefficients of thermal
expansion.
- Corning® EAGLE XG® Slim Glass substrates: EAGLE
XG Slim Glass substrates enable panel manufacturers to innovate for
thinner, lighter, and more environmentally conscious display
panels.
During Touch Taiwan, James Hollis, director of
sales and engineering, Corning® Gorilla® Glass, will deliver a
keynote presentation titled: "Materials Science Innovations for
Next Generation Consumer Electronics" at 3:35 p.m., Aug. 24, in
Room 401 of the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition
Hall.
"This year at Touch Taiwan we are showcasing
technologies that meet the evolving needs of our customers and
satisfy industry trends," said Daniel Tseng, president of Corning
Display Technologies Taiwan. "Leveraging its strengths in glass
science, ceramics science, and fusion manufacturing, Corning
continues to deliver cutting-edge innovations for the display
industry."
