Corning Supplies Gorilla® Glass for Samsung Galaxy S Premium Smartphone
23 Agosto 2010 - 6:00PM
Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), a world leader in specialty
glass and ceramics, announced today that Corning® Gorilla® glass
has been designed into the Samsung Electronics Galaxy S, a newly
released premium smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy S features a four-inch super AMOLED display,
while weighing roughly 119 grams in a slim, highly durable design.
The enhanced super AMOLED display is enabled in part by using
Corning Gorilla glass as the protective cover. Gorilla glass is an
environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass
that is both scratch resistant and durable.
BJ Kang, senior manager of Samsung Electronics said, “Advanced
display technology plays a crucial role in meeting consumers’
growing expectations on high-end mobile devices, especially
smartphones. Corning’s Gorilla glass has helped maximize Galaxy S’s
unique smartphone features by enabling a high-quality touch
display.”
Haeng Hee Lee, president of Corning Korea Company Ltd added,
“Device makers are challenged with designing stylish yet durable
products. The Galaxy S is a fine example of a premium device
created through the combination of Corning’s specialty glass and
Samsung’s mobile display technologies. Corning’s Gorilla glass
enables device makers to introduce durable display products with
innovative designs.”
More than 20 major makers of PC and handheld devices have
already recognized the benefits of Gorilla glass by designing it
into more than 225 devices, and more than 55 models will be
released over the next six months.
