Hello Steemit today I Will share regarding Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla Glass is a brand of specialized
toughened glass developed and manufactured by Corning, the glass designed to be thin, light and damage-resistant. Gorilla Glass is unique to Corning.The glass gains its surface strength, ability to contain flaws, and crack-resistance by being immersed in a proprietary.
Corning experimented with chemically strengthened glass in 1960, as part of a "Project Muscle" initiative. Within a few years they had developed a "muscled glass" marketed as Chemcor . The product was used until the early 1990s
Than in 2005 the glass could be made thin enough for use in consumer electronics. It was brought into commercial use when Apple asked Corning for a thin, toughened glass to be used in its new iPhone .As of October 2017, some five billion devices globally contain Gorilla Glass.
Corning has unveiled Gorilla Glass 6 as an all-new glass protection for mobile devices. As the successor to Gorilla Glass 5 that was launched back in July 2016, the new development is touted to be designed with an "entirely new material" that helps withstand multiple drops. The Corning, New York-based company emphasises that the new glass protection is its most durable cover glass to date. While the company hasn't revealed the devices featuring the new glass panel, it has confirmed that the latest creation is currently being evaluated by multiple customers - suggesting its debut sometime in the next coming months. The next-generation Galaxy Note that is scheduled to arrive on August 9 could emerge as the first handset featuring Gorilla Glass 6.
In lab tests, Corning claims that Gorilla Glass 6 survived as many as 15 drops from 1-metre height onto rough surfaces and was found to be up to two times better than Gorilla Glass 5. The company has used a new glass composition to make the fresh Gorilla Glass version capable of withstanding multiple drops. "Gorilla Glass 6 is an entirely new glass composition that can be chemically strengthened to give it significantly higher levels of compression than is possible with Gorilla Glass 5," said Dr. Jaymin Amin, Vice President of Technology and Product Development, Corning Gorilla Glass and Corning Specialty Materials, in a press statement while announcing the new panel. "This enables Gorilla Glass 6 to be more resistant to damage. Moreover, with breaks during drops being a probabilistic event, the added compression helps increase, on average, the likelihood of survival through multiple drop events."Gorilla Glass 6 is designed with optimised "optical clarity, touch sensitivity, scratch resistance, efficient wireless charging and enhanced durability" to match modern design trends where glass panels are featured not just at the front but also at the back.
