Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 2, the next generation of the company’s widely
accepted cover glass, has been designed into the new Samsung GALAXY
S III smartphone. This improved glass was first revealed at the
Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas earlier this year.
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 enables up to a 20 percent reduction in
glass thickness, while maintaining the industry-leading scratch and
damage resistance that consumers demand. Samsung Electronics
equipped the GALAXY S III with a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display.
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 enables the device’s slim and sleek design,
and helps protect the device display from scratches and bumps.
Hankil Yoon, senior vice president of global product strategy,
Samsung Electronics, said, “Following Samsung and Corning’s
successful cooperation on the previous GALAXY S series smartphones,
we are pleased to offer our customers the thin elegance and refined
style of the GALAXY S III using Corning Gorilla Glass 2. New
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is an ideal solution for Samsung’s
high-quality smartphones, enabling a superior touch experience and
a lightweight and slim design, with the damage and scratch
resistance consumers have come to expect.”
Haeng-Hee (HH) Lee, president and general manager of Corning
Korea Company, Ltd. added, “We are excited about the introduction
of Corning Gorilla Glass 2 because it provides device makers with
numerous design benefits without sacrificing toughness. With
Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Samsung GALAXY S III customers will enjoy
an enhanced smartphone experience.”
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 750 product models, spanning over 750
million units worldwide. For further information about Corning
