Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2: Corning Incorporated Wednesday unveiled its latest glass innovation, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. With a brand new glass composition, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 delivers improved drop efficiency on tough surfaces like concrete, the corporate stated.
“Smartphones are the center of our digital lives, and the requirement for exceptional scratch and drop resistance has only increased with our growing reliance on clear, damage-free displays,” stated David Velasquez, Vice President and General Manager, Gorilla Glass.
“We challenged our scientists not only to create a glass composition that was durable enough to better survive drops from waist height onto rougher surfaces than asphalt, but to improve cover-glass performance for larger and heavier devices,” Velasquez added.
In lab checks, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 survived drops of as much as one meter on a floor replicating concrete. Competitive aluminosilicate glasses from different producers sometimes failed when dropped from half a meter or much less. In addition, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 continued to outlive drops as much as two meters on a floor replicating asphalt and maintained scratch resistance as much as 4 instances higher than aggressive aluminosilicate.
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is at the moment being evaluated by a number of prospects and is anticipated to achieve the market throughout the subsequent few months.
Gorilla Glass has been designed into greater than 8 billion gadgets by greater than 45 main manufacturers.
Throughout the corporate’s Mobile Consumer Electronics (MCE) market entry platform, Corning continues its legacy of innovation with its market-leading cowl glasses in addition to glass and optics for semiconductor merchandise that improve efficiency, ship new connectivity options, allow new designs, and assist immersive consumer experiences with augmented actuality and 3D sensing.
