Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that Corning
Gorilla� glass has been designed into the Dell Adamo, a newly
released laptop computer that represents the pinnacle of
craftsmanship and design. The Adamo�s revolutionary display design
features an edge-to-edge cover glass with a unique glass panel that
covers the top half of the notebook enclosure. The high-end Adamo
laptop packs mobile computing technology into an ultra-slim form
measuring just .65 inches thick and weighing less than four
pounds.
"In designing Adamo, we set the goal of creating the thinnest
notebook in the world while keeping a commitment to precision
craftsmanship and fine materials,� said�Alex Gruzen, senior vice
president, Dell. �Collaboration with Corning on Gorilla glass
allowed us to create a truly stunning and remarkably thin, yet
robust product."
�Aesthetics and style are becoming key differentiators in the
laptop market today, and Corning�s Gorilla glass enabled Dell
designers to feature glass on the Adamo in a way not done before,�
said Jim Steiner, senior vice president, Corning Specialty
Materials. �The unique properties of the glass allow for reduced
thickness and weight without compromising durability. In addition,
on the glass surface, Corning provides an easy-to-clean,
wear-resistant coating, which allows for easy smudge removal and
maintenance of the pristine viewing surface.�
After undergoing a chemical strengthening process, Gorilla glass
becomes a durable, scratch-resistant liquid crystal display (LCD)
cover. It is available in a variety of thicknesses ranging from 0.5
millimeters up to 2.0 millimeters, providing flexibility in device
design as well as glass processing.�This environmentally friendly
alumino-silicate 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.�The result is an as-drawn
surface that in many cases requires no additional finishing, while
providing a wide range of thickness options, low-surface roughness,
and superior flatness.�These benefits allow Corning customers to
optimize device design and fabrication efficiencies.
