Corning Launches Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic

[Nomad76]

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced the introduction of Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic, an innovative, transparent, and strengthenable glass ceramic material to help bring advanced toughness to more mobile devices. Gorilla Glass Ceramic significantly improves drop performance on rough surfaces compared to competitive aluminosilicate glasses. The new material expands Corning's portfolio of durable cover materials for OEMs.

"Gorilla Glass has built a reputation of strength and resilience, and our new glass ceramic material continues this tradition. Designed to offer enhanced toughness, Gorilla Glass Ceramic reinforces our commitment to innovating and engineering high-quality, durable materials for display covers and enclosures," said David Velasquez, Vice President & General Manager, Corning Gorilla Glass.



In Corning lab tests, Gorilla Glass Ceramic survived 10 repeated drops from one meter on surfaces replicating asphalt. An alternative aluminosilicate glass typically failed on the first drop.

Gorilla Glass Ceramic is the latest offering in Corning's renowned Gorilla Glass portfolio. It will be available within the market on a Motorola device in the coming months.

Corning has been one of the world's leading innovators in glass and glass ceramic materials for more than 170 years. The company invented the world's first transparent, color-free, and highly strengthenable glass ceramic material for use in consumer electronics products. Corning continually develops new glass and glass ceramic materials that advance durability for mobile devices and meet the evolving needs of global customers.

How does it compare to previous generations of gorilla glass.

Gorilla Glass is just marketing BS and they don't stand behind their product, or at least in my case they didn't.
Claiming a phone with their glass can withstand a drop from 1 metre on to concrete and not be damaged, yet they refused to warranty when my phone fell 30CMs onto carpet and cracked.

must have already had a hairline crack, there is no way if it lands on carpet it would crack on something that soft
