Substrate flatness is particularly critical in the production of panels for liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs. Any deviations from flatness can result in distortions. With Corning’s proprietary fusion process, the glass is formed in air and drawn down to form an incredibly flat piece of glass with very precise thickness controls.

Because glass formed using this method requires no subsequent surface grinding or polishing, fusion is an optimal technology for producing high-quality, large-generation LCD glass substrates. To maintain this quality from start to finish, Corning has entirely mechanized the substrate handling processes.
