Rispetto al modello precedente, questo nuovo prodotto conserva la stessa resistenza, anche se lo spessore è stato diminuito del 20%.
Ma non è tutto perchè, la Corning, promette maggior fedeltà dei colori ed una maggiore sensibilità del touch.

CORNING UNVEILS NEW GORILLA® GLASS 2
With new glass composition, tough gets better – with device performance benefits for sophisticated user experiences
CORNING, N.Y., January 9, 2012 – Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) introduces Corning®Gorilla®Glass 2, the next generation of the company’s widely accepted, damage-resistant cover glass for consumer electronic devices, at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The outstanding performance benefits of this new glass will be showcased through live demonstrations in the Corning booth, #12642 Central Hall, during show hours tomorrow, Jan. 10, through Friday, Jan. 13.
Corning Gorilla Glass 2 enables up to a 20 percent reduction in glass thickness, while maintaining the industry-leading damage resistance, toughness, and scratch resistance customers have come to expect from the world’s most widely deployed cover glass. The thinner Gorilla Glass 2 enables slimmer and sleeker devices, brighter images, and greater touch sensitivity. These benefits can provide electronics manufacturers with superior design flexibility as they address consumer demand for increasingly high-performing, touch-sensitive, and durable mobile devices.
“Corning Gorilla Glass has enjoyed tremendous market adoption in the high-growth mobile handset and computing device market, providing a replacement for plastic and legacy soda-lime glass as a protective cover and elegant design solution,” saidJames R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials.
Considerato che il Gorilla Glass 2 è già nelle mani dei produttori di smartphone, aspettiamoci di vederlo montato su tutti i device top di gamma di questo nuovo anno !
