Corning to Supply Scratch-Resistant Glass for Samsung Touchscreen Phones

Speciality glass manufacturer, Corning says that it has won a contract to supply its "Gorilla" glass as the protective cover glass for Samsung UltraTOUCH mobile phones. Corning's Gorilla glass is designed so that after undergoing a chemical strengthening process, it provides device manufacturers with a highly durable, scratch-resistant cover glass for touch screens and flat portable displays.

"Touch screen has rapidly become the standard in high-end mobile phone devices and in today's mobile phone market, users want technology packed into stylish designs," added James E. Hollis, commercial director, Corning Specialty Materials. "Device makers want a product that can withstand the repetitive motion and use of touch. Corning's Gorilla glass is ideal for these types of applications where pressure is being applied to the interface. It is a strong and damage-resistant cover glass that can withstand high-volume user interaction."

Corning Gorilla glass is available in a variety of thicknesses, from 0.5 millimeters up to 2.0 millimeters, providing flexibility in device design as well as glass processing. It is also adaptable to scalable sheet sizes for optimal throughput.
