The Samsung GALAXY Tab was announced on Sept. 2 at the
Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA), consumer electronics
show held in Berlin, Germany. The Galaxy Tab features a seven-inch
portable screen, video calling, full-web browsing functions, and is
powered by Android 2.2. The durable, thin display and sleek design
of the GALAXY Tab is enabled in part by using Corning Gorilla glass
as a cover glass. Continuing a tradition of more than 150 years of
innovation in materials science and technology, Corning Gorilla
glass is an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate
thin-sheet glass designed specifically to function as a cover glass
for high-end display devices such as notebook PCs, televisions, and
mobile phones.
B.J. Kang, senior manager of Product Planning of Samsung
Electronics said, “The GALAXY Tab maximizes the joy of e-reading,
web browsing, watching videos and movies, and listening to music
while on the move. It has innovative functions and advanced
characteristics in display, and Corning’s Gorilla glass has enabled
GALAXY Tab to combine best-in-class technologies in mobility and
toughness.”
“We are pleased that consumers recognize the benefits of
Corning’s Gorilla glass in their IT products,” said Haeng Hee Lee,
president of Corning Korea Company Ltd. “Consumers are enjoying IT
display products with more durability through the application of
Corning’s Gorilla glass. We strive to deliver new technologies that
help our customers gain a competitive edge in the global market
place.”
Corning Gorilla glass is currently designed into more than 225
mobile devices, and is an appealing solution for the emerging smart
media device environment due to its scratch and damage resistance.
Studies show that the portable computer market is projected to
reach annual unit sales of more than 354 million by 2014. Emerging
form factors such as slates, mobile internet devices and other
smart media devices are projected to grow at a compound annual
growth rate of 40 percent over the same period and newer form
factors will comprise up to 30 percent of the market’s overall
volume. Most importantly, studies estimate that more than 90
percent of newer form factors will utilize a touch interface.
