Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT(TM) Adopted by Dell for XPS, Inspiron, and Latitude Touch-Enabled PC Product Lines
07 Janeiro 2014 - 12:00PM
CORNING, N.Y, January 7,
2014. - Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced
Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT(TM) - designed to help protect touch
notebook displays from scratches and damage - has been adopted by
Dell for several of its touch-enabled PCs, including the XPS,
Inspiron, and Latitude series.
Corning will demonstrate the superior damage
resistance of Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT and showcase the Dell
Latitude, and XPS touch-screen PCs with Windows 8.1 and Gorilla
Glass NBT in Central Hall booth #11612 at the 2014 International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
"For both commercial and consumer customers, Dell
is committed to reliable products made with premium materials and
thoughtful design for improved performance, durability and end-user
experience," said Sam Burd, vice president, Client Solutions Group,
Dell. "Integrating Corning Gorilla Glass NBT into our Dell
XPS and select Dell Latitude and Dell Inspiron laptops delivers on
this commitment with an industry-leading touch-enabled viewing
experience."
"We've been pleased to work with Dell to bring the
scratch resistance and durability of Gorilla Glass NBT to their
touch-enabled notebook products," said James R. Steiner, senior
vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials,
"The performance of Gorilla Glass NBT, in combination with
innovative touch-enabled PC designs from Dell and operating system
innovations from Microsoft, can deliver the thin, sleek, and
reliable touch-based personal computers that consumers are looking
for. We look forward to continued collaboration with Dell to bring
the latest in cover-glass innovations to their touch-enabled
PCs."
With Windows 8.1, touch is the primary way
consumers interact with PCs, subjecting these touchscreen displays
to daily abuse from touching and swiping. This increases the
potential for the cover glass to scratch. These types of scratches
could cause conventional cover materials such as soda lime glass to
crack and break. Corning Gorilla Glass NBT helps protect
touch-enabled notebook displays with higher scratch resistance,
reduced scratch visibility, and better retained strength if a
scratch occurs.
"As Windows 8.1 delivers new touch experiences,
we're excited to partner with Dell and Corning to bring innovative,
durable display solutions to great devices," said Jordan
Chrysafidis, vice president of Marketing, OEM Division, Microsoft
Corp.
