Corning Display Technologies Profile
Overview
From LCD TVs to cell phones and beyond, today’s consumer electronics call for clear, vibrant images. Corning’s revolutionary display glass makes that possible, helping manufacturers improve the form, capabilities, and environmental friendliness of their electronic devices.
Corning Display Technologies is a worldwide leader in the development and supply of large-generation, high-quality glass substrates for the active matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) industry. We developed the first glass substrates more than two decades ago, and today Corning is consistently first to develop new-generation sizes and reduced thicknesses to meet emerging product needs of the TFT-LCD industry.
Corning now supplies the most environmentally friendly LCD glass substrates with EAGLE XG® and EAGLE XG® Slim – the industry’s first LCD glass substrates with no added heavy metals and halides.
Corning is also leveraging its expertise in display glass technologies to develop new products and solutions for emerging platforms.
Product Summary
Glass composition and large-generation substrates:
Designed through extensive research and collaboration with LCD manufacturers, Corning has developed the lightest, most durable glass available and is the industry standard against which all other glass substrates are measured.
Corning has also been a consistent leader in the growth and development of glass substrates that maintain exacting quality requirements: a pristine surface with unmatched dimensional stability and flatness.
