Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 to debut at CES 2013

Corning has confirmed that it will be unveiling two new technologies at CES 2013: Gorilla Glass 3, the company’s third-generation ultra-tough glass, and a new fiber-based solution called Optical Cables.

Gorilla Glass 3 will deliver improved product performance and functionality through touch capabilities, protective cover glass, and device connectivity, says Corning.

The other technology set to be unveiled, known simply as Optical Cables by Corning, is a fiber-based, device-to-device, solution that is designed to extend data transmission range past the limits of copper-based cables.

‘This year at CES, Corning will demonstrate its industry leadership in specialty glass and fiber optic technologies with the introduction of two products designed to enhance and extend the capabilities of consumers’ favorite devices,’ said Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer, and president.

He added: ‘these new innovations build on the increasingly important and continually evolving role of highly engineered glass technologies in delivering improved product performance and functionality through touch capabilities, protective cover glass, and device connectivity.’

Expect to see Gorilla Glass 3 covering everything in 2013.
