Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that the
company has been awarded the Corporate Technical Achievement Award
by The American Ceramic Society. Corning was honored for its
development of Gorilla® glass, an environmentally friendly alkali
aluminosilicate thin-sheet glass designed specifically to function
as a cover glass for high-end display devices such as mobile
phones, notebook PCs, and televisions. This award recognizes
outstanding, commercialized technologies that improve our
society.
“Gorilla glass enables manufacturers to make devices that are
thin, lightweight, durable, and damage-resistant,” said James R.
Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning
Specialty Materials. “We are honored to accept this award on behalf
of the Corning employees that brought this product into the market
and are responsible for its rapid growth over the last few
years.”
Corning’s scientists and engineers have a comprehensive
understanding of the physics behind glass breakages in various
applications. They used this knowledge to produce Gorilla glass,
which is better able to survive the real-world events that most
commonly cause glass failure.
Gorilla glass is produced with Corning’s proprietary fusion-draw
process, which enables the production of uniform thin sheets with a
pristine surface and is also adaptable to scalable sheet sizes for
optimal throughput. During finishing, Gorilla glass undergoes a
chemical strengthening process that gives it the unique properties
which make it especially suited for use as a durable,
scratch-resistant liquid crystal display (LCD) cover. These
benefits allow Corning customers to optimize their device design
and fabrication efficiencies. Gorilla glass is currently used by
more than 22 major brands and is designed into more than 225
devices.
This is the seventh time Corning has been honored with this
award. It will be presented at The American Ceramic Society’s
annual meeting in Houston, Texas, on Oct. 17. For more information
