Corning Incorporated to Supply LG Electronics with Corning Gorillaâ„¢ Glass for New Mobile Phone

Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that Corning�s
Gorilla� glass was selected as the protective cover glass for LG
Electronics� �Secret phone� (model: LG-KF750), and other models
currently in development. Gorilla glass, an environmentally
friendly, thin-sheet glass, functions as a protective window for
high-end display devices.
�Corning developed Gorilla glass in response to the industry�s
need for a better cover glass solution,� commented Mark Matthews,
division vice president, Corning Specialty Materials. �What sets
Gorilla glass apart from the competition is that it is both strong
and damage resistant, and retains its performance advantage even
when used in thin form factors. This was key in meeting the design
requirements for the new LG Secret phone.�
Corning�s Gorilla glass is designed so that after undergoing a
chemical strengthening process, it provides device manufacturers
with a highly durable, scratch-resistant liquid crystal display
(LCD) display cover. Because it is durable and scratch-resistant,
Gorilla glass can be used for personal electronic devices, such as
mobile phones and notebook computers, and is especially valuable
for products featuring touch screen technologies.
Corning Gorilla glass is available in a variety of thicknesses,
from 0.5 millimeters up to 2.0 millimeters, providing flexibility
in device design as well as glass processing. It is an
environmentally friendly alumino-silicate glass produced with
Corning�s proprietary fusion draw process. Fusion draw technology
enables the production of uniform thin sheets with a pristine
surface. It is also adaptable to scalable sheet sizes for optimal
throughput. The result is a drawn surface that in many cases
requires no additional finishing for some applications while
providing a wide range of thickness options, low-surface roughness
and superior flatness. These benefits enable Corning customers to
optimize device design and fabrication efficiencies.
