Setting new requirements for displays:
Lower power consumption
Portable games Transportation displays
Superior picture quality
Thinner form factor

Mobile phone TVs Digital cameras
Lower cost
Music and video players
Camera phones

Overview - Jade glass for advanced display

Jade glass substrates
Heat treatment process
Float glass (polished extensively)

Other LTPS makers
Jade eliminates need for heat treatment step due to its high strain point
Maintains dimensional stability and uniformity Enables higher customer process temperature, by its best-in-class stability of thermal sag / deformation Elimination of pre-compaction step preserves pristine surface quality Stronger under mechanical stress than conventional a-Si glass

GorillaTM Glass Strengthened Cover Glass
As notebook computers take a larger share of the IT market, style and functionality present design challenges
Minimum bezel design Larger screen Touch functionality Glass used for display cover and other surfaces for high consumer aesthetic value
Thinner
At the same time, consumer expectations for durability are increasing

GorillaTM glass overview

As cover glass for LCD or Touch Glass designed for deep, protective, ion exchange layer High strength, and scratch resistance Retains high strength after use
25
The ion-exchange process creates a compression layer that makes the surface more resistant to mechanical damage
KNO3 bath
O2 Si Al Na: 0.97 K:1.33

The incoming ion (K+) and its larger volume produces: Compressive stress on the surface, volume expansion Compression profile that decreases (approximately) linearly through DOL

GorillaTM glass is high strength with a narrow distribution due to the high depth of layer of strengthened surface
Gorilla glass shows the highest strength which is accentuated in the low failure probability regime
