Best-in-class display substrate enables brighter, more
energy-efficient devices
CORNING, N.Y., June 1, 2015 -
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today unveiled Corning Lotus(TM)
NXT Glass, its third-generation glass composition for
high-performance displays. The company will showcase this latest
innovation in booth #733 at the Society for Information Display's
(SID) Display Week in San Jose, Calif., June 2-4.
Lotus NXT Glass provides industry-leading levels
of low total pitch variation - a metric that is essential to
efficient panel manufacturing for high-resolution displays. It can
outperform incumbent products using this metric by up to 60
percent.
"For nearly a decade, the display industry focused
on one glass-substrate attribute - compaction," said Michael
Kunigonis, business director, High Performance Displays, Corning
Glass Technologies. "Cooperating with panel makers, Corning studied
this assumption and found total pitch variation is a more complete
measure of glass stability and set out to deliver the highest
performing glass substrates to the industry."
The improved stability of Lotus NXT Glass - and,
in turn, better total pitch variation performance - enables
manufacturers to develop display panels that feature up to 100
pixels per inch higher resolutions or up to 15 percent lower power
consumption. Additionally, panel makers can improve cell assembly
yields by up to 1.5 percent.
For consumers, that means vivid, resolution-rich
mobile devices with longer battery lives.
Lotus NXT Glass targets liquid crystal displays
(LCD) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays that use
either low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) or oxide thin-film
transistor (TFT) backplanes.
Corning specifically designed Lotus NXT Glass to
maintain its total pitch variation performance in a wide range of
manufacturing temperatures. It works well in both low-temperature
and high-temperature LTPS and oxide TFT processes.
In addition to Lotus NXT Glass, the Corning booth
will also feature: Corning Iris(TM) Glass, a high-transmission
glass light-guide plate enabling thinner edge-lit LCD TVs; Corning
EAGLE XG® Slim for a-Si displays; Corning®
Willow® Glass, the
company's ultra-slim, flexible glass; and Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 4, the
latest version of Corning's damage-resistant cover glass now on
nearly 4 billion devices.
Display Week attendees may also hear several Corning experts share
their insights:
- Bob O'Brien, director, market intelligence,
Planning and Strategy, will participate in an LCD-focused panel
discussion during the IHS Business Conference on June 1.
- Stephanie Sisk, special projects manager, High
Performance Displays, Commercial Technology, will present on how
advanced glass enables the display evolution at the SID Display
Week Exhibitor Forum on June 3.
- Boh Ruffin, technology strategy manager, will
speak during the IHS Wearable-Flexible Conference on June 4.
"The display industry has been on a journey. It's
experienced an extraordinary rate of innovation, and we're proud to
be a part of it by bringing new products to market that support the
freshest, most compelling designs," Kunigonis added. "We're eager
to share our advanced glass solutions at Display Week and encourage
attendees to visit us."
