State-of the-art
glass composites complement the legendary toughness of Gorilla
Glass to deliver superior antireflective optics and scratch
resistance
CORNING, N.Y.; JULY 18, 2018 - Corning
Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced two additions to its
portfolio of cover glass innovations - Corning®
Gorilla® Glass DX and
Corning®
Gorilla® Glass DX+.
Both of these new glass composites feature an antireflective
property that vastly improves optical clarity and superior scratch
resistance scaled to consumer needs, while maintaining the
legendary toughness and touch sensitivity of Gorilla Glass.
These revolutionary new cover glass enhancements
follow the introduction earlier today of Corning's most durable
cover glass to date, Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 6. An
extension of Corning®
Gorilla® Glass SR+,
both Gorilla Glass DX and Gorilla Glass DX+ glass composites can be
used in combination with Corning's Gorilla Glass products to best
address mobile device manufacturers' design priorities. While
currently being adopted primarily for wearable mobile devices,
developments are underway to adapt these new glass composites to
larger form-factor devices.
"We have surveyed more than 85,000 global consumers* over the past
seven years, and we discovered that nearly 50 percent cited
readability as a highly desired feature in a cover glass," said
Scott Forester, division vice president, Marketing and Innovation
Products, Corning Gorilla Glass. "But we also know that consumers
don't want to sacrifice the scratch resistance and durability that
they've come to expect. Gorilla Glass DX and Gorilla Glass DX+
address this challenge by delivering outstanding readability
combined with best-in-class scratch resistance and the inherent
toughness of Gorilla Glass, making them ideal for today's advanced
mobile displays."
Comparing the two new
composites
Both Gorilla Glass DX and Gorilla
Glass DX+ enhance display readability by improving the front
surface reflection by 75 percent versus standard glass, and
increasing the display contrast ratio by 50 percent with the same
display brightness level. These improvements in optical clarity can
also lengthen battery life.
A point of differentiation between the two
solutions is in the levels of scratch resistance. Gorilla Glass DX
features enhanced optics with the same excellent scratch resistance
of Gorilla Glass while Gorilla Glass DX+ provides enhanced optics
with superior scratch resistance approaching that of alternative
luxury cover materials.
Corning continues to lead the cover glass industry
it created more than 10 years ago. Today, Corning Gorilla Glass has
been designed into more than 6 billion devices across 45 major
brands.

About Corning Gorilla
Glass
Corning Gorilla Glass was launched in September 2007, literally
creating the cover glass industry it currently leads. Since its
inception, Corning Gorilla Glass has become the cover glass of
choice for device manufacturers around the globe. The durable cover
glass technology has been designed into more than 6 billion
consumer electronic devices by more than 45 major OEMs. Today, it
would be difficult to find a premium handheld device, anywhere in
the world, without Corning Gorilla Glass. Formed through Corning's
proprietary fusion draw process and strengthened through an
ion-exchange process, Corning Gorilla Glass continues to deliver
industry-leading performance and durability with a thin, pristine
surface that is ideal for the Mobile Consumer Electronics industry,
as well as Automotive and Interior Architecture
applications.
