Iris Glass promotes trend toward thinner LCD
televisions
CORNING, N.Y., December 22, 2015 - One of Corning
Incorporated's newest high-tech innovations - Corning
Iris(TM) Glass - is
helping high-profile Chinese company LeTV launch a large and
remarkably thin TV with brilliant, lifelike images.
Iris Glass forms the light-guide plate (LGP) for
LeTV's new 70-inch television - the Super TV Max 70 - now available
in China. The Iris Glass substrate is a key component for edge-lit
technology because it distributes and directs light through the
front of the TV, enabling vibrant pictures. The Super TV Max 70 is
the first TV design in China to incorporate Iris Glass.
"Corning is delighted to support LeTV's strategy
of bringing the latest innovative products to consumers," said
Andrew Beck, director, Iris Glass program. "Today's announcement is
yet another example of Corning's ability to leverage a core
technology and a proprietary manufacturing process to produce a
remarkably thin TV that delivers a bright, immersive viewing
experience."
Historically, display designers have used plastic
light guide plates, which are highly susceptible to heat and
humidity. This leads to design trade-offs resulting in thicker sets
and wider bezels. Iris Glass not only becomes a third piece of
glass in the TV design, but it also eliminates design compromises
by offering optically pure glass which is both dimensionally and
thermally stable. This enables brands and designers to achieve
significantly thinner sets and bezels than were previously
attainable using plastic.
"Corning Iris(TM) Glass enabled our Super TV Max
70 to bring an exceptional viewing experience to the consumers
without sacrificing size or thinness," said Wang Zhi, product
director for LeTV. "We are excited to continue exploring new
possibilities in collaboration with Corning."
Optically, Iris Glass delivers the bright,
realistic color quality consumers demand by delivering high optical
transmission and negligible color shift, resulting in several other
prominent electronics manufacturers having designed Iris Glass into
their edge-lit LCD TVs over the past year.
