Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) will receive two industry awards
during Display Week 2009, the annual conference of the Society for
Information Display (SID), that will be held May 31 through June 5
in San Antonio, Texas.
Corning�s Jade� glass for advanced display is a winner in the
2009 Display of the Year Awards (DYA), which recognize innovative
display products, components, and applications that hold the most
promise for shaping the future of the global display industry.
The DYAs are awarded each year with Gold and Silver honors in
three categories: Display of the Year, Display Product of the Year,
and Display Component of the Year. Corning received the Gold Award
in the Display Component of the Year category for Jade glass
substrates.
Jade substrates are optimized for two display technologies �
low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) applications and organic,
light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) � to solve some of the challenges
facing the mobile device industry at a time when the popularity of
small mobile devices is at an all-time high.
This is the second time Corning has received a DYA award. The
company�s environmentally friendly EAGLE XG� substrates were
similarly honored in 2007.
�The Display of the Year Awards recognize the chief influential
technologies across the global display community,� noted Dick
McCartney, SID�s DYA Chair. �The caliber of products and
technologies nominated this year certainly made the decision
process tough on our Awards Committee. We received a number of
nominations from around the world, and we are excited to award
Corning with the gold honor in the 2009 Display Component category
for its Jade Glass for Advanced Display. We truly commend the
company�s ongoing commitment to innovation and to shaping the
future of today�s display arena.�
SID has also bestowed a major industry honor on Corning�s Chief
Technology Officer � East Asia, Dr. Peter L. Bocko. The Special
Recognition Award honors outstanding achievements in the following
categories: Technical Accomplishments, Contributions to Literature,
Service to the Society, Entrepreneurial Accomplishments, and
Achievements in Education.
SID will recognize Dr. Bocko for his central role in delivering
innovative, high-performance glass substrates for the display
industry, including environmentally friendly display glass and
substrates compatible with polysilicon backplanes for liquid
crystal and organic, light-emitting displays.
�For more than two decades, Dr. Bocko has been integral to the
advancement of the LCD business at Corning Incorporated,� said
James Clappin, president, Corning Display Technologies. �Corning
considers this award a formal acknowledgement of what Dr. Bocko�s
peers already recognize: the depth and breadth of his contributions
to the display industry, as well as the lasting impact his work has
had on advancing the science and technology behind the glass.�
Dr. Bocko will be speaking at the SID Investors Conference and
in a technical session. Throughout the tradeshow, Corning will
present its perspective on what's next in advanced display.
