Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today unveiled
its newest glass innovation, Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2.
Corning continues to push the boundaries of glass by expanding its
Corning® Gorilla® Glass portfolio. With a new glass composition,
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 delivers improved drop performance on rough
surfaces like concrete, the world’s most abundantly engineered
material, while preserving the scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass
Victus.
“Smartphones are the center of our digital lives, and the
requirement for exceptional scratch and drop resistance has only
increased with our growing reliance on clear, damage-free
displays,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general
manager, Gorilla Glass. “Surfaces matter, and rough surfaces like
concrete are everywhere.”
Corning’s extensive research has shown that 84% of consumers
across three of the largest smartphone markets – China, India, and
the United States – cite durability as the number one purchasing
consideration behind brand itself.
“We challenged our scientists not only to create a glass
composition that was durable enough to better survive drops from
waist height onto rougher surfaces than asphalt, but to improve
cover-glass performance for larger and heavier devices,” said
Velasquez. “With more sophisticated and varied designs, today’s
smartphones are nearly 15% heavier, and screen sizes are up to 10%
larger, than they were four years ago – increasing both the stress
on the cover glass and the probability of damage. Gorilla Glass
Victus 2 redefines tough for consumers and OEMs.”
In lab tests, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 survived drops of up to one
meter on a surface replicating concrete. Competitive
aluminosilicate glasses from other manufacturers typically failed
when dropped from half a meter or less. In addition, Gorilla Glass
Victus 2 continued to survive drops up to two meters on a surface
replicating asphalt and maintained scratch resistance up to four
times better than competitive aluminosilicate.
For more than a decade, Gorilla Glass has helped revolutionize
the way we communicate and transform the mobile consumer
electronics industry. With nearly half a billion global consumers
yet to transition to smartphones, Gorilla Glass will continue to
solve tough consumer challenges and meet the needs of current and
future smartphone users.
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is currently being evaluated by multiple
customers and is expected to reach the market within the next few
months.
Gorilla Glass has been designed into more than 8 billion devices
by more than 45 major brands. Throughout the company’s Mobile
Consumer Electronics (MCE) market access platform, Corning
continues its legacy of innovation with its market-leading cover
glasses as well as glass and optics for semiconductor products that
enhance performance, deliver new connectivity features, enable new
designs, and support immersive user experiences with augmented
reality and 3D sensing.
