Business Wire
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile device provider,
and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), a world leader in specialty
glass and ceramics, announced today that Corning® Gorilla® Glass
has been designed into the GALAXY Tab 10.1, Samsung Electronics’
most powerful new tablet PC.
The GALAXY Tab 10.1, which launched in the United States on June
8, is equipped with 1GHz Dual-Core CPU, the latest Android™
Honeycomb platform, and a 10.1 inch WXGA TFT LCD display. The
GALAXY Tab 10.1 measures only 8.6 mm thick and weighs a mere 560
grams. Thin, lightweight Corning Gorilla Glass, used as a
damage-resistant cover, helps enable this durable, ultra-slim, and
lightweight design.
Continuing a tradition of 160-year innovation in materials
science and technology, Corning Gorilla Glass is an environmentally
friendly glass designed specifically to function as a cover glass
for high-end display devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptop
computers, and televisions.
Hankil Yoon, vice president of Smartphone Product Planning,
Samsung Electronics, said “GALAXY Tab 10.1 is recognized for its
high-end technology and amazing design, even among industry
experts. For the GALAXY Tab 10.1, Samsung Electronics searched for
the most durable, scratch-resistant glass, and again found the
perfect solution with Corning Gorilla Glass.”
Haeng-Hee (HH) Lee, president and general manager, Corning Korea
Company, Ltd., said “Corning Gorilla Glass has become the cover
glass of choice for the fast-growing tablet display market. We will
continue to provide Gorilla Glass for high-end and innovative
devices.”
Used by more than 30 major brands, Corning Gorilla Glass has
been designed into more than 425 electronic devices.
Gorilla Glass is a thin and lightweight material which supports
the seamless full-glass fronts of the most sophisticated consumer
electronic device designs. Because it is strengthened at the
molecular level, its ability to resist damage creates a performance
advantage over other cover materials. For further information about
