ensuring durability and optical clarity
CORNING, N.Y., APRIL 19, 2016 - Corning
Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced the commercial
availability of a new extension to its portfolio of market-leading
cover glass features with Vibrant Corning® Gorilla® Glass, a new
decorative design technology.
With Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass, device
manufacturers can now expand their options for device design by
adding multi-color, high resolution, photo-quality images to the
industry's leading cover glass solution, Corning Gorilla Glass.
"Device manufacturers today are looking for new
ways to differentiate their products, without compromising
important features such as durability and clarity," said Scott
Forester, director, Gorilla Glass Innovations. "Vibrant Corning
Gorilla Glass provides a new opportunity for customized decoration
and commercial branding and is one of several valuable product
enhancements that leverage Corning's core capabilities to meet the
evolving needs of our customers."
Using Corning's proprietary process, ink and
equipment, Corning prints a colorful, customized design for
smartphones, tablets or notebooks on Corning Gorilla Glass,
including gradient colors and logos, photo-quality images and
multi-color decorations. Unlike traditional screen printing
technologies, Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass provides outstanding
resolution and sharpness, requires shorter processing times, and
produces less waste.
Corning Gorilla Glass is the world leader in
damage-resistant cover glass. Gorilla Glass is manufactured using
Corning's proprietary fusion draw process and is the cover glass of
choice for device manufacturers around the globe. Since its launch
in 2007, Corning Gorilla Glass has been used on 4.5 billion devices
worldwide, on more than 1,550 product models across 40 major
brands. For further information about Corning Gorilla Glass, please
