Glass Of The Near Future: Gorilla Glass



INNOVATING WITH GORILLA


Corning® Gorilla® Glass’s unique combination of beauty and toughness is creating exciting new possibilities for electronic devices.
Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use. It's cool to the touch, and cleans easily – making it the perfect solution for sleek, seamless designs. And it’s sensitive enough to enable today’s most sophisticated touch applications.



NEW CORNING GORILLA GLASS 2

New Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 is now up to 20 percent thinner, enabling slimmer devices, better touch responsiveness, and brighter images without sacrificing the damage resistance consumers demand. The result is superior design flexibility for electronics manufacturers as they develop high performing, touch sensitive, and durable mobile devices.

CHARACTERISTICS

Corning® Gorilla® Glass provides exceptional performance and protection, with distinct advantages over other materials.
Damage resistance: Gorilla Glass is chemically strengthened through an ion-exchange process that creates a deep compression layer on the surface of the glass substrate. This layer acts as “armor” to reduce the introduction of flaws by end users.
Thinner form factor: Depending on application and manufacturer specifications, Gorilla Glass can be produced in thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm. Even at 0.5 mm, Gorilla Glass retains a performance advantage over other cover materials.
Unparalleled surface quality: Corning’s proprietary fusion process gives Gorilla Glass the same superior surface as all of our high-technology display substrates. This extraordinarily precise, highly automated process produces glass with exceptionally clean, smooth, flat surfaces and outstanding optical clarity.
Compliance with environmental standards: Gorilla Glass is compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS).
Compatibility with touch screens: Gorilla Glass is an ideal cover sheet for touch screens. It’s tough enough to handle the surface pressures intrinsic to these devices, and exceptionally thin to enable more sensitive and accurate responses.
Easy-to-clean, wear-resistant coating: Customers can request Gorilla Glass with a special coating, making it easier to clean than other cover glasses – a perfect feature for touch devices
The unique composition of Gorilla Glass creates a much deeper compression layer than other strengthened glasses. 

CUSTOMIZATION

Corning® Gorilla® Glass offers customization options to suit your applications.

Easy-to-clean

Fingerprints and smudges can be a problem with touch devices, but Gorilla Glass offers a coating that is easier to clean than other cover glasses – perfect for touch screens and handhelds.

Printing on glass



The ability to print directly on Gorilla Glass creates exciting options for customization and branding. Customers can personalize their high-end display devices with a brilliant, full-color spectrum and a state-of-the-art printing process.

APPLICATIONS

Gorilla Glass is an ideal cover glass for the most innovative electronic devices, from smartphones to slates to TVs. Many companies have not only integrated the glass, but designed for it. More »
