Corning, a manufacturer of optical materials, recently announced that it has reached a new strategic cooperation with composite material supplier Pixelligent. The two parties will work to develop high-quality AR/MR optical components for XR wearable devices. According to reports, the team will integrate Pixelligent's optically transparent resin with Corning's high-refractive index glass to help shorten product development time and expand the availability of AR/VR devices.
Corning has many years of experience in providing high refractive index glass wafers to AR equipment manufacturers. The company stated: "The inherent properties of glass, coupled with industry-leading material science and optical design expertise, make Corning a unique choice for helping customers provide increasingly demanding features for consumer electronics.
Corning is always looking for opportunities to advance the development of AR technology. Our cooperation with Pixelligent is the latest proof of our commitment to the next generation of life-changing innovations. We will continue to provide OEMs with appropriate materials, machinery and design expertise to prepare for the large-scale popularization of augmented reality and mixed reality devices. "
