Corning to introduce Gorilla Glass 2 at CES

By on January 5, 2012 at 7:27pm in Mobile News


We’re not sure how much more Corning can improve on the scratch resistant and shatter proof Gorilla Glass, but somehow they are prepared to dazzle us at CES next week. The company announced the “next generation” of this “industry-leading, ultra-thin, and tough specialty glass”, aptly calling it Gorilla Glass 2. I remember attending their booth last year and Corning put on quite a show – see the video here. This year they plan to do the same, promising “increased functionality from smaller form factors; touch technology; connected devices in new application spaces; and sleek, durable large-format design aesthetics”… basically Gorilla Glass 2 is perfect for any manufacturer that has a glass display.

    • Apple needs to design a phone not designed to self-destruct. Yeah, it’s gorilla glass, but it’s easily the most broken phone out there just due to the design of the device. Every single other company has the common sense to cover the edges of the glass. Apple puts looks ahead of practicality.

  7. Adam raises a great point. Tempered glass is nearly impossible to break from head-on impacts. It is also extremely fragile when the impact occurs on the edge of the glass. Covering the edges is just common sense.
