Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced its continuing
collaboration with Acer Incorporated, which plans to use Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 2 on new computing devices released in 2012. Corning
Gorilla Glass 2 is the next generation of the widely deployed
damage-resistant cover glass for consumer electronic devices. This
new glass enables up to a 20 percent reduction in cover glass
thickness, without sacrificing the performance consumers have come
to expect from the world’s most widely deployed strengthened cover
glass.

“We design high-performing, mobile products that enhance the
total on-the-go computing experience,” said Campbell Kan, president
of Personal Computer Global Operations, Acer Incorporated. “We are
impressed with the design opportunities presented by this new glass
innovation and how it supports the latest technology trend towards
devices that are multitouch, lightweight, and durable.”
“Corning’s new glass composition, Gorilla Glass 2, which enables
slimmer and sleeker devices, brighter images, and greater touch
sensitivity, is an ideal solution for Acer’s products,” said David
Velasquez, director of Marketing and Commercial Operations,
Corning® Gorilla® Glass. “We’ve been pleased to collaborate with
Acer to bring scratch resistance and durability to the Acer ICONIA
family of products and look forward to their introduction of
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 devices later this year.”
First introduced in 2007, Corning Gorilla Glass set the industry
standard for damage-resistant cover glass. Today it is the most
widely deployed cover glass, used by more than 30 major brands and
designed into more than 575 product models, spanning over 500
million units worldwide.
Corning is demonstrating the new glass performance at the
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 10 – 13 at Booth
#12642 Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
