Corning Gorilla Glass reveal 5 more efficiently to support smartphones

Corning announced the latest versions of its Gorilla Glass, which comes up in the features improve the performance of glass to withstand the accidental dropping of smart phones and devices from 1.6 meters high.

I knew versions of Corning glass Gorilla great popularity because of its features make it the first choice for smart phones and devices makers, today Corning unveiled a new release in glass Gorilla 5, which comes the biggest improvement in the performance of the glass, which has proven its ability to withstand high 1.6 meters in 80 % of devices that have undergone the experience of the process.

Corning Gorilla Glass reveal 5 more efficiently to support smartphones

Corning Inc. has provided the former issued Gorilla Glass 4 in 2014, and which came to improving the multiplier to the specifications of the previous version to him, to support the user when the fall of smart devices from height of one meter only.

Corning Inc. has conducted a study in the last period showed that 85% of the collectors of smart phones have been exposed to accidents incidental to drop the phone back at a minimum, of different heights, so despite the good performance of the previous version of the glass Gorilla Glass, but it did not provide adequate support when the fall of the phone while take pictures or phone output from the user's pocket quickly.

The study was conducted by the main reason Corning Corporation to develop new Gorilla Glass new standards were the strongest can withstand the smart phone users, that the new glass performance standards include stronger surface that supports the user when accidental fall from a greater distance.

Despite that smart phones that has survived in accidental falls characterized by a glass thickness of 0.6 mm and with the evolution conducted by Corning Inc. has been reducing the glass thickness to 0.4 to keep up with the development of smart phones thinner with smartphones and feature makers the size of the markets, which raises questions about the possibility of implementing Corning Inc. the best performance with the least thickness in glass manufacturing.

However, John Bayne, deputy CEO of Corning, stressed in his remarks that the resilience of the smart phone with the size of insomnia for the thickness of the glass also depends on the efficiency of the manufacturing and design of smart phones as well as glass manufacturing efficiency, since the design of smartphones and feature angles in the glass support to hold at the impact fall of the largest high.

He also noted that the phone design and site installation of glass on the phone Set up also affects the strength and hardness of the glass, which supports distinctive design framework in the glass to protect, and the direction of the company to design a glass 3D needs to be larger than a smart phone makers supporting the design of a more solid, so the Corning emphasizes the responsibility of the smartphone makers mainly to support the glass.


It is worth mentioning that the glass Gorilla appeared in smart devices for the first time in 2007, the company has been keen since the launch of the glass for the first time to support the glass to resist scratching and cracking, as the process of glass designed to be thinner with each new release, as Corning stressed that glass Gorilla incorporated in 4.5 billion device so far, there are also a lot of leading brands that use Gorilla Glass in organs such as Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei, Hp, HTC along with Asus company and many other companies the least popular.

Corning Inc. has confirmed the start of production of glass Gorilla 5 in the coming months, so it could be up to the devices to be launched in the autumn of this year to witness the efficiency of the new Gorilla Glass manufacturing 5.
