18 Febbraio 2016 - 2:30PM
Companies to present "Innovations for Screen Protectors" at
Mobile World Congress
CORNING, N.Y., February 18, 2016
- Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced the
availability of Accessory Glass 2 by Corning®, its
newest glass offering specifically designed for screen protector
applications. The company also announced that New Vision
Display is a licensed finisher of Corning's latest screen protector
innovation.
The companies will present the details of this
glass solution and its impact on the screen protector market on
Feb. 22 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Compared with soda-lime glass or plastic films
used in many screen protectors, Accessory Glass 2 by Corning offers
better scratch resistance and helps reduce breakage. This product
offers a step change in performance for consumers who choose to add
a screen protector to their device.
"We introduced Accessory Glass by Corning in 2015
and were very pleased by the market acceptance. We are now bringing
a new product innovation to this market which we believe will
provide screen-protector consumers with even more benefits," said
Clifford Hund, president of Corning East Asia. "We are delighted to
work with New Vision Display to provide them with Accessory Glass 2
by Corning to better enable them to bring high-quality
screen-protector products to consumers around the world. We look
forward to sharing the details of our progress with Mobile World
Congress visitors."
"Our customers around the world appreciate the
quality that Corning glass brings to the table," said David Kruse,
president and chief sales officer, and Jeff Hoffman, director,
Accessory Glass, New Vision Display. "Our agreement with
Corning provides us with access to Corning's newest product
innovation for the screen protector market."
The presentation is open to conference visitors
and will be held 2-3 p.m., Feb. 22, in the Shanghai Expo, Hall
3. The presentation will also include remarks from Cellular
Italia CEO Marco Cagnetta. Cellular Italia, a New Vision Display
partner, is one of the largest branded distributors of screen
protectors in Europe.
