Corning Debuts Dashboard Prototype Featuring Corning® Gorilla® Glass for Automotive Interiors at SID’s Display Week

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced it will exhibit its advanced glass portfolio as well as a dashboard prototype featuring Corning® Gorilla® Glass for Automotive Interiors at the Society for Information Display’s (SID) Display Week, May 21-26, 2017, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

At booth #929, Corning will display for the first time a standalone dashboard prototype that features sleek, 3D, cold-formed Corning Gorilla Glass for Automotive Interiors. With its design flexibility, durability, and high-tech capabilities, glass continues to bring automotive interior displays into the connected future.

“Glass has transformed our relationships and daily interactions with smartphones, and now we’re using this premium material to enhance the way we interact with our cars,” said Fabio Salgado, program manager, Corning Automotive Interiors.

“Thin, scratch-resistant, and optically advantaged Corning Gorilla Glass for Automotive Interiors enables benefits like multi-touch response and haptic applications, as well as anti-glare and anti-reflective surface treatments, which can help us enjoy the luxurious and modern feel of glass without harsh daytime and nighttime reflections. We at Corning believe that tough, beautiful technical glass is key to bringing cars into the vivid connected future.”

Additionally, Corning’s booth will feature:

• Corning Lotus™ NXT Glass: A display glass used for  substrates, encapsulants, and carriers to enhance the design and manufacture of high-performance LTPS-OLED and LTPS-LCD displays with high resolution and brightness, energy efficiency, and innovative designs
• Vibrant Corning® Gorilla® Glass: A multicolor, high-resolution printing technology with the durability of Gorilla Glass that provides new design options for OEMs and their customers to display photo-realistic images on laptops, tablets, and handhelds
• Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5: A cover glass solution that raises the bar for protection against drops higher than ever, surviving up to 1.6-meter drops onto rough surfaces up to 80 percent of the time
• Corning Precision Glass Solutions: High-precision wafer and panel format glass-based solutions, enabling higher speeds, slimmer form factors, and enhanced optical performance in a variety of applications, including consumer electronics and the Internet of Things
• Corning Iris™ Glass: A glass light-guide plate that is pushing the standard for slender LCD sets, enabling TVs and monitors thinner than the average smartphone.

Also during SID’s Display Week, Corning experts will present at the 2017 SID/DSCC Business Conference, the 2017 SID/DSCC Automotive Market Focus Conference, and the Display Week Symposium.
