One of the latest and interesting display innovations presented at SID Display Week 2008 is this Gorilla Glass developed by Corning, specialty glass and ceramics leader.
The optically pure thin-sheet glass was designed for customer applications that require high strength such as LCD display covers, and has durable, scratch-resistant characteristics for personal electronic devices, especially touch-sensitive displays.

"What sets Gorilla glass apart is its enhanced durability," declared Corning's Gorilla glass program manager James E. Hollis. "This is especially important for handheld devices that are routinely thrown around by consumers. A protective cover made from Corning Gorilla glass is capable of providing the best protection for LCD screens versus any other glass in the marketplace today."

Corning Gorilla glass can be found in several thicknesses like 0.7 mm, up to 2 mm. It is made from flexible alumino-silicate glass, using the company’s fusion draw technology.
