Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced ASUS’s plan to
design Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 into their newest 2012 devices.
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is the next generation of the widely
accepted damage-resistant cover glass for consumer electronic
devices. This new glass enables up to 20 percent reduction in cover
glass thickness, without sacrificing the performance customers have
come to expect from the world’s most widely deployed strengthened
cover glass.

“We have collaborated with Corning to bring the scratch
resistance and durability of Corning Gorilla Glass to the very
popular ASUS Transformer family of products,” said Samson Hu,
corporate vice president, ASUS. “We look forward to the
introduction of Corning Gorilla Glass 2 as it provides product
design opportunities never before available. We can leverage these
differences to deliver high-performing devices that are thin and
lightweight for an enhanced mobile computing experience.”
“We’ve been pleased to work with ASUS to bring the scratch
resistance and durability of Corning Gorilla Glass to the ASUS
Transformer family of products,” said David Velasquez, director of
marketing and commercial operations, Corning Gorilla Glass. “As our
customers drive toward thinner form factors, Corning has worked to
deliver an even-thinner cover glass solution, while maintaining
industry-leading damage resistance, toughness, and scratch
resistance.”
ASUS expects to make specific product announcements and unveil
new devices using Corning Gorilla Glass 2 over the coming
months.
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 575 product models spanning over 500
million units worldwide.
Corning is demonstrating the new glass performance at the
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 10–13 Booth #12642
Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
