康寧是現時世上唯一製作 Gorilla Glass 的玻璃廠商（當然了，Corning 是 Gorilla Glass 的專利持有人)，而現時大家手上的高階智能手機超過八成都有採用此品牌的強化玻璃額，如大家非常熟識的 Samsung，Motorola，HTC，Sony Ericsson，LG 等大廠都有把旗下的高階產品裝上強度非常高的 Gorilla Glass。Gorilla Glass 有何過人之處？請看下片。
除了強度比人強，耐刮力也比人強，有多強？請看下片
由康寧製作及設計的 Gorilla Glass 無疑是現時手機市場上最耐刮，強度最強的玻璃面，下一代 Gorilla Glass 還會有什麽新技術？下星期一開幕的 CES 就會有分曉，不過現在知道 Gorilla Glass 將會被稱為 Gorilla Glass 2 ，以及 Gorilla Glass 2 將能提供一定的彎曲角度。
Corning to Showcase Glass Innovation for Consumer Electronics Design at CES 2012
New Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 to be introduced
CORNING, N.Y., January 05, 2012 – Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced its plans for the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week. The Corning booth, #12642 Central Hall, will showcase the critical role of highly engineered specialty glass in addressing emerging trends highlighted at CES 2012, including: increased functionality from smaller form factors; touch technology; connected devices in new application spaces; and sleek, durable large-format design aesthetics.
A key feature of Corning’s CES exposure will be the introduction of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2, the next generation of the popular, damage-resistant cover glass for consumer electronic devices.
“Corning Gorilla Glass has been a tremendous success for Corning, enjoying excellent market acceptance across mobile device industries. Handset and tablet device manufacturers are clearly driving toward higher functionality from thinner designs. Corning’s latest innovation in Gorilla Glass technology is very well positioned to meet these challenges and enable broader touch technology penetration,” said James R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials. Product details will be included in an announcement planned for Monday, Jan. 9.
CES attendees can engage with Corning experts and technologies featuring the latest applications and benefits of Corning Gorilla Glass innovations. “As we did last year, we’ll provide consumers and customers visiting the Corning booth the opportunity to test first-hand the outstanding damage resistance and flexibility of this industry-leading, ultra-thin, and tough specialty glass,” Steiner added.
Corning Gorilla Glass, the technology that made Corning one of the most talked-about companies at CES 2011, is currently featured on more than 30 major brands and designed into more than 575 product models, spanning more than 500 million units worldwide.
The Corning booth will also explore the benefits of Corning Gorilla Glass in larger format, touch displays for education, entertainment, auto, and home appliance applications featuring new design possibilities. These include:
An 82-inch advanced multi-touch LCD display prototype featuring Corning Gorilla Glass as a durable, touch-sensitive, and elegant cover glass.
Touch-enabled automobile interior and home appliance center simulators demonstrating the enhanced user interface experience that thin, durable glass can enable in new design applications.
A centerpiece, Gorilla Glass-covered video wall, flanked by Gorilla Glass fabricated sound speakers, projecting the latest in Corning specialty glass technology news.
Additionally, Dr. Peter Bocko, Corning’s chief technology officer for Corning Glass Technologies and one of the foremost glass experts in the display industry, will be a panelist in the “Beyond the Flat Screen” session on Thursday, Jan. 12, 1:30 p.m. PST. He will discuss the latest advances in screen resolution, viewing angle, sunlight performance, and power consumption in an effort to isolate new products and opportunities.
It’s a safe bet to assume that this new glass will be the top choice for mobile devices we can expect to see across 2012, much like its predecessor was last year.
