Corning, NY — Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) introduced two new automotive interior glass solutions to customers at CES 2019 (International Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas last week. Program. As automakers are responding to consumer demand for more integrated interactive displays, Corning's new Gorilla Glass automotive interior solutions are designed to meet market trends, bringing high-performance products and superior System economy.
Corning Automotive Glass Solutions Vice President and General Manager Michael Kunigonis said: "The vast majority of consumers want a more connected and immersive driving experience while driving. In response to this demand, automakers are gradually deploying larger, longer Shaped and highly integrated display. Due to the failure rate of the existing cover material in the industry reliability test is as high as one-third, which will lead to an increase in the cost of the supply chain. We have introduced glass solutions for automobiles to Cater to market trends and make up for the shortcomings of existing cover materials. "
According to Kunigonis, market demand has spurred Corning scientists to introduce two AutoGrade ™ cover glass solutions for automotive interiors in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D). 2D cover glass is optimized for 99% pass in industry reliability testing (using Corning's system-level design guidelines), while retaining realistic visual experience, outstanding durability, and superior optical performance for flat applications. Corning 3D Glass was developed for forming or curved applications. When bent, it provides the same reliable performance as 2D cover glass.
Fabio Salgado, Commercial Director, Corning Automotive Glass Solutions, said: "One of the most amazing features of Gorilla Glass for automotive 3D interiors is its ability to bend at room temperature for precise coverage without compromising cover glass reliability. The surface of a modern car interior. "
Compared to similar thermoformed parts, Corning's unique ColdForm ™ cold-form technology can reduce the cost of forming cover glass parts by 40% while maintaining superior optical performance and the reliability of AutoGrade ™ cover glass.
"We are excited to see the strong interest shown by manufacturers in Gorilla Glass for cars," Kunigonis said. "More than 50 new models from more than 25 automakers around the world are starting to use our glass in automotive design. Last week at the CES show, our latest innovations received a warm response from the automotive industry."
AutoGrade ™ Gorilla Glass for automotive 2D and 3D interiors will be mass-produced in 2019, and automakers are already applying it to 2020 model design.
