Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that Corning’s
Gorilla® glass has been designed into the LG X300, a newly released
premium mobile PC. This lightweight device packs portable computing
technology into an ultra-slim form. It measures just 17.5
millimeters (mm) thick and weighs roughly 2 pounds, giving users
convenient portability. Corning’s Gorilla glass enables the unique
edge-to-edge cover design and allows the device to remain thin and
lightweight.
Harrison Park, general manager, PC Division, LG Electronics
said, “Slim, lightweight mobile PCs will be the main trend this
year. By using Corning’s Gorilla glass, we were able to design a
thinner device with a durable and strong display.”
“Laptop makers are challenged with designing thinner and lighter
devices and Corning’s Gorilla glass is helping them succeed,” said
Jim Steiner, senior vice president, Corning Specialty Materials.
“The unique properties of Gorilla glass allow for reduced thickness
and weight without compromising durability.”
Gorilla glass is an environmentally friendly protective window
used in high-end display devices including cellular phones, laptop
and tablet computers, and mobile devices. With a variety of
available thicknesses, ranging from 0.5mm up to 2.0mm, Gorilla
glass offers a lightweight and durable design that compliments the
needs of premium devices such as the LG X300. This aluminosilicate
glass is produced with Corning’s proprietary fusion-draw process,
which enables the production of uniform thin sheets with a pristine
surface and is also adaptable to scalable sheet sizes for optimal
throughput. During finishing, Gorilla glass undergoes a chemical
strengthening process that gives it the unique properties which
make it especially suited for use as a durable, scratch-resistant
liquid crystal display (LCD) cover. These benefits allow Corning
customers to optimize their device design and fabrication
efficiencies.
