Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today the launch of a
new glass composition to advance the development of augmented and
mixed reality (AR/MR) diffractive waveguides for wearable devices.
Optical advancements inherent in the glass take the augmented
reality experience to the next level through larger, clearer
digital content that creates more engaging and immersive user
experiences.
Corning’s Advanced Optics business efficiently delivers
high-quality glass that has been designed, measured, and cut to
meet precise customer needs with unique end-to-end solutions,
enabling advancements in the AR/MR market for nearly a decade. The
new 2.0 high-index glass joins the company’s AR/MR portfolio, which
also includes high-index compositions of 1.8 and 1.9.
Corning Advanced Optics’ new 2.0 high-refractive index glass
will enable a wider field of view (FOV) and enhanced optical
clarity, including best-in-class light transmission for blue
wavelength in AR/MR wearable devices. Compared with glass
compositions with lower refractive index values, OEMs can achieve a
greater FOV with fewer pieces of glass, allowing for lighter,
sleeker, and more cost-effective headset designs. Corning’s 2.0
glass composition, as well as its comprehensive solutions for
flatness metrology and precision laser glass cutting, will further
enable the AR/MR industry, bringing mass consumer adoption one step
closer. Corning’s 2.0 glass is available in wafer diameters of 150
mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm and a range of thicknesses with leading
geometric tolerances.
“Our new 2.0 high-index glass illustrates Corning’s commitment
to delivering advanced glass solutions for augmented reality
applications,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general
manager, Corning Advanced Optics. “Our technologies bring the
detail below the surface to life. Over the next several years,
through new glass compositions, supporting capabilities, and
innovative solutions, Corning will help enable the adoption of AR
into our daily lives.”
The launch of this new composition builds on Corning’s
leadership in glass and ceramic science, optical physics, and its
proprietary manufacturing platforms. This expertise enabled the
company to be first to market with ultra-flat, high-index glass
wafers for top-tier consumer electronic companies pursuing AR/MR
waveguide devices.
“These headsets require very precise, very flat glass in the
eyepiece for a wide FOV and superior image quality, and our
extensive knowledge of glass allows Corning to drive innovation in
this application space,” Velasquez continued.
Corning will showcase its new 2.0 glass composition at the SPIE
AR | VR | MR event and SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco from
January 24-28.
