14 DAY TRIAL // After Gorilla Glass 3 and Gorilla Glass 4, Corning realized that there are other ways that it can improve mobile displays to provide better resolution and energy consumption.
That's why the company announced the Lotus NXT Glass, which is supposed to offer exactly that: vivid, resolution-rich displays with longer battery lives.
According to Corning, Lotus NXT Glass is the third general of glass composition for high-standard displays. It should provide “industry-leading” levels of low total pitch variation, which is very important for panel manufacturing of high-resolution displays.
For those unaware, the Lotus NXT Glass is a layer positioned above the backplane transistors and light emitting components. The new NXT Glass is also important to display manufacturers since it can reduce the cost of high resolution displays without having to make any compromises when it comes to quality.
“Cooperating with panel makers, Corning studied this assumption and found total pitch variation is a more complete measure of glass stability and set out to deliver the highest performing glass substrates to the industry,” said Michael Kunigonis, business director, High Performance Displays, Corning Glass Technologies.
Increased resolution, better battery consumption
In this regard, Corning announced that Lotus NXT Glass allows manufacturers to develop display panels that might feature up to 100 pixels per inch higher resolutions or up to 15% lower power consumption.
Corning also confirmed that Lotus NXT Glass should work well in both low-temperature and high-temperature LTPS and oxide TFT processes.
“The display industry has been on a journey. It’s experienced an extraordinary rate of innovation, and we’re proud to be a part of it by bringing new products to market that support the freshest, most compelling designs,” added Kunigonis.
According to Corning, the new Lotus NXT Glass should be commercially available to display manufacturers beginning this week. The new glass is already showcased at the Society of Information Display's (SID) Display Week in San Jose, California, between June 2-4.
