CORNING, N.Y., May 20,
2013 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) and Tianma
Micro-Electronics Group today jointly announced Tianma's selection
of Corning Lotus(TM) XT Glass for its line of low-temperature
polysilicon (LTPS) panels. Tianma and Corning will display these
panels in their respective booths at the Society for Information
Display's Display Week, an industry trade show in Vancouver,
British Columbia, May 21 - 23. Tianma's booths are #206 and #221,
and Corning's booth is #801.
Corning introduced Lotus XT Glass, a
second-generation composition, last week. A highly dimensionally
stable glass substrate, it enables efficient manufacturing of
high-performance displays.
Tianma, one of the world's leading manufacturers
of liquid crystal displays (LCD) in small- to medium-size,
thin-film transistor (TFT) modules, produces its LTPS product line
using high-temperature manufacturing processes, which place
stringent requirements on glass.
Lotus XT Glass performs exceptionally well in LTPS
manufacturing environments. It retains its shape and surface
quality during customer processing due to its outstanding thermal
stability. Lotus XT Glass also features superior total pitch
variation - up to 75 percent better than the company's
first-generation product, Corning Lotus(TM) Glass - supporting
higher yields. And due to its intrinsic dimensional stability, it
enables high-resolution displays that offer increased pixels per
inch (ppi).
Tianma chose Lotus XT Glass for its LTPS
backplanes because of the advanced properties of the glass. The
company's LTPS line is located in Xiamen, China, and has a capacity
of 30,000 TFT modules, and more than 30,000 color-filter modules
per month. It is the first Gen 5.5 LTPS line in China.
Tianma creates LTPS panels for its customers who
subsequently use them in high-resolution smartphones and tablets
that feature 350 - 450 ppi. Currently, Tianma's panels are
positioned to enable 4- to 6-inch smartphones and 7- to 10-inch
tablets.
"We decided on Lotus XT Glass for two main
reasons: its heightened total-pitch variation performance and
Corning's long history of glass expertise and quality," said Wang
Lei, executive vice president of Tianma Xiamen. "After testing the
glass in our rigorous manufacturing cycles, it performed remarkably
well and allowed tighter design rules and precise component
alignment. For us, Lotus XT Glass was an ideal solution for our
cutting-edge LTPS line."
"We are very pleased that Tianma selected Lotus XT
Glass," said John Bayne, vice president and general manager,
Corning High Performance Displays. "Corning developed this glass to
enable panel makers to not only improve yields but also extend
their design limits, which Tianma is certainly doing by focusing on
high-pixel-count smartphones and tablets."
Tianma LTPS panels are projected to hit the market
in June.
