What Is Gorilla Glass?
 Corning’s Gorilla Glass is an environmentally
friendly alkali- aluminosilicate thin sheet
glass designed specifically to function as a
protective cover glass for high-end display
devices.
 An extremely strong and scratch-resistant

type of glass.
 The material retains its exceptional properties

even in very thin sheets

Development Background
 Chemcor
 “Fusion Draw“ to make super-thin,

unvaryingly flat glass.

 Pumped hot glass into a suspended trough

and allowed it to overflow and run down

either side.
 The glass flows then meet under the trough

and fuse seamlessly into a smooth, hanging

sheet of glass.
Gorilla Glass Characteristics

 Thinner form factor.

 Pristine surface quality.
 Compliance with environmental standards.
 Compatibility with touch screen devices.
 Available with an easy-to-clean, wear-

resistant coating
