The rise of display glass continues.
For more than five decades, Corning scientists have advanced the potential of display glass.
It began with small, inauspicious glass pieces to support digital readouts on wristwatches and pocket calculators – revolutionary for their time.
Laptop computers – with LCD glass thin and lightweight enough to make them truly portable – became the must-have devices of the 1990s, untethering workers and students from the desktop and ushering in a whole new way to access the new, remarkable world of the Internet.
The tsunami of technological change that followed has made today’s connected world virtually unrecognizable compared with previous generations.
Smartphones, tablets, televisions, wearables – all made possible by display glass that just gets better and better – have transformed how we learn, how we stay healthy, how we are entertained, and how we interact with one another.
Corning helped create this industry – and continues to collaborate in every new trend as it unfolds.
Today, the world watches as we experience the next rise. The industry is shifting once again, looking to technologies like quantum dots, MiniLED, and MicroLED to deliver more lifelike, beautiful, and useful displays.
And that’s only the beginning. Corning is not only ready for the challenge – it’s part of the solution.
Its new generation of innovators is now making display glass even tougher, even thinner, capable of enabling human interaction in astonishing new ways.
These visionaries have a passion for science, a belief in intricate process, and the audacity to insist it will all lead to something spectacular.
Because at Corning, it always does.
