One interesting showcase coming next week at CES in Las Vegas is the new Gorilla Glass made by Corning. It is reported to be 3 times as tough as its previous version, and show 40% fewer visible scratches than before. In addition it will be 50% more shock resistant. These changes are likely to keep it out in front of its competitors and on the next release of products.
Wendell Weeks, Chairman, CEO and president of Corning said:
This year at CES, Corning will demonstrate its industry leadership in specialty glass and fiber optic technologies with the introduction of two products designed to enhance and extend the capabilities of consumers’ favorite devices.
This quote makes reference to a new optical cable that is designed to speed up data transmission beyond that of traditional copper-based cables. Wendell Weeks continued:
These new innovations build on the increasingly important and continually evolving role of highly engineered glass technologies in delivering improved product performance and functionality through touch capabilities, protective cover glass, and device connectivity.
We will know more on the 7th January following their revealing at the CES event in Las Vegas.
