Corning Incorporated, one of the world leaders in glass and ceramics, has announced the launch of Corning Lotus Glass: An environmentally friendly, high-performance display glass.

The glass helps support the demanding manufacturing processes of both organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for portable devices such as smartphones, tablets and notebook computers.

The company formulated it to perform in low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) and oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane manufacturing environments.

“Corning Lotus Glass has a high annealing point that delivers the thermal and dimensional stability our customers require to produce high-performance displays,” said Andrew Filson, Worldwide Commercial Director, Display Technologies, and Vice President, Corning Holding Japan.

The thermal consistency of the glass allows it to retain its shape and surface quality during high-temperature processing. This helps guard against thermal sag and warp, which improves the integration of components onto the glass.
