Corning Expands Line of EAGLE XG® Slim LCD Glass Substrates

Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced the commercial
availability of EAGLE XG® Slim glass substrates in larger
generation sizes to support LCD panel manufacturing for larger
applications like TV and large monitors. The announcement came at
FPD International, a major industry trade show in Makuhari Messe,
Japan.
Initially intended to enable lighter-weight portable devices,
the EAGLE XG Slim line debuted in June with glass sizes up to
Generation 5 at 0.4 mm thick. Today’s announcement adds 0.5 mm
glass in Generations 7 and 8 — the glass sizes that support
television applications and large monitors. Until now, those
generation sizes have traditionally been 0.7 mm thick.
At the standard glass thickness of 0.7 mm, glass represents 10%
to 25% of the module thickness for leading-edge slim TV designs. A
migration to 0.5 mm will provide a tangible benefit in efforts to
reduce the thickness of televisions.
“As the first to supply commercial volumes of slim glass
substrates, Corning continues to lead the industry migration toward
thinner devices,” said Lisa Ferrero, general manager, Corning
Display Technologies. “By adding larger sizes to the EAGLE XG Slim
product line, Corning is helping the industry address growing
consumer demand for thin and sleek televisions.”
The substrates leverage the award-winning EAGLE XG® composition,
the industry’s most environmentally friendly glass, making devices
even more recyclable.
Corning produces EAGLE XG Slim at its plants in Asia, utilizing
its worldwide supply chain. Samsung Corning Precision Materials
Co., Ltd. also supplies the product line to customers in Korea.
Moving forward, Corning plans to further expand the EAGLE XG
Slim product line by developing 0.3 mm substrates for glass sizes
that support portable electronic devices.
