Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that Corning�s
Gorilla� glass was selected as the protective cover glass for
Samsung UltraTOUCH mobile phones.
�The full touch screen mobile category is growing rapidly these
days and projected capacitive technology is one of the preferred
touch technologies for today�s full touch mobile market,� said Andy
Kim, senior manager of Product Planning Group, Samsung Electronics.
�Working with Corning and the unique composition of Gorilla glass
allowed us to design a thin, light-weight, stylish mobile
phone.�
Corning�s Gorilla glass is designed so that after undergoing a
chemical strengthening process, it provides device manufacturers
with a highly durable, scratch-resistant cover glass for touch
screens and flat portable displays. These features make Gorilla
glass an ideal solution for personal electronic devices, such as
mobile phones and notebook computers, and are especially valuable
for products featuring touch-screen technologies.
�Touch screen has rapidly become the standard in high-end mobile
phone devices and in today�s mobile phone market, users want
technology packed into stylish designs,� added James E. Hollis,
commercial director, Corning Specialty Materials. �Device makers
want a product that can withstand the repetitive motion and use of
touch. Corning�s Gorilla glass is ideal for these types of
applications where pressure is being applied to the interface. It
is a strong and damage-resistant cover glass that can withstand
high-volume user interaction.�
Corning Gorilla glass is available in a variety of thicknesses,
from 0.5 millimeters up to 2.0 millimeters, providing flexibility
in device design as well as glass processing. It is also adaptable
to scalable sheet sizes for optimal throughput.
It is an environmentally friendly alumino-silicate glass
produced with Corning�s proprietary fusion draw process, which
enables the production of uniform thin sheets with a pristine
surface. The result is a drawn surface that in many cases requires
no additional finishing for some applications while providing a
wide range of thickness options, low-surface roughness and superior
flatness. These benefits enable Corning�s customers to optimize
device design and fabrication efficiencies.
