4. HISTROY OF CORNING AND ITS INNOIVATION
IN DISPLAY Technologies
Gorilla Glass Gets Even Better
Gorilla Glass, a technology invented by Corning, has
already changed the mobile industry. But most
consumers don't know the role Steve Jobs had in
making that happen.
Corning engineers invented the technology behind
Gorilla Glass in the 1960s. At the time, they couldn't
find any commercial applications for it so the project
just stopped.
Fast forward to 2006. Apple was finalizing materials for
the upcoming iPhone, and Jobs was dissatisfied with
the hard plastic that many phones, including the
iPhone prototype, used for displays. The biggest
complaint was that they scratched too easily. At the
time, plastic was preferred because glass was
considered too breakable for phones of Corning to find
out if that company could develop a super-hard,
scratch-resistant glass for Apple products.

5. Corning brought the old '60s project back to life and called it Gorilla Glass.
Now, it's the standard for mobile devices and found in 600 million devices.
A new version introduced this year, called Gorilla Glass 2, which is just as
strong but 20% thinner, will help smartphones and tablets continue to get
thinner and lighter without sacrificing durability.
Corning has another glass technology that could really change things for
consumer technology. The new glass is both flexible and very thin. The
flexibility enables the manufacturing process to resemble how plastic is
made, on factory rollers. It has all the scratch- and heat-resistance of
glass.
The company envisions the use of this technology to make wall-size touch
displays, for example, and tiny mobile phones that are very thin, light and
low cost.
The company also announced this week a new glass technology that kills
bacteria and viruses, including scary antibiotic-resistant super bugs. This
will be great for medical tablets, and possibly for consumers.

6. Corning® Willow™ Glass
1.)Corning Willow Glass will help enable thin, light and cost-efficient applications including today’s
slim displays and the smart surfaces of the future.
2.) The thinness, strength and flexibility of the glass has the potential to enable displays to be
“wrapped” around a device or structure.
3.) As well, Corning Willow Glass can be processed at temperatures up to 500° C. High
temperature processing capability is essential for today’s high end displays, and is a processing
condition that cannot be supported with polymer films.
4.)Corning Willow Glass will enable the industry to pursue high-temperature, continuous “roll-to-
roll” processes – similar to how newsprint is produced - that have been impossible until now.
It will support thinner backplanes and color filters for both Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED)
and liquid crystal displays (LCD) in high performance, portable devices such as smart phones,
tablets, and notebook computers.
5.)This new, ultra-slim flexible glass will also help develop conformable (curved) displays for
immersive viewing or mounting on non-flat surfaces.
Corning Willow Glass is formulated to perform exceptionally well for electronic components such
as touch sensors, as well as leveraging glass’s natural hermetic properties as a seal for OLED
displays and other moisture and oxygen sensitive technologies.

7. The future is flexible: Corning® WillowTM
Glass
At roughly the same thickness as a sheet of
copy paper, Corning® WillowTM Glass is thin
enough to be flexible while
retaining its superior glass attributes. Willow
Glass provides the inherent benefits of glass in
a mechanically bendable
form-factor, enabling cost-efficient device
processing. It will enable thinner,
lighter, and potentially flexible
electronic
devices, that deliver high
performance at a lower cost.
Edge tab enables practical
use of Willow Glass in
roll-to-roll processing.

8. Corning Willow Glass used to make flexible solar power roofing
shingles, could lower the cost of solar power significantly
The US government’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory has built flexible
solar cells out of Corning’s Willow Glass. These new solar cells are strong
enough that they could eventually replace roofing shingles, which would
significantly shrink the biggest barrier to mass adoption of solar power: the
cost of installation.
As you probably know, Corning is the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass, which
furnishes the front of many smartphones, including the iPhone, and most HTC
and Samsung devices. (See: Gorilla Glass coming to cars, making them more
resilient and efficient.) Gorilla Glass is essentially a variety of alkali-alumina
silicate toughened glass that has been engineered for a combination of
desirable factors (high strength and toughness, while remaining thin and
light).
Willow Glass, on the other hand, is a flexible, transparent, thin (0.1mm)
borosilicate glass that’s intended to be used as a substrate — a material on
which other components, such as LCD or OLED electronics, can be laid down.
Being a borosilicate glass, Willow Glass – just like Pyrex, which was
developed by Corning in 1915 – is very heat resistant, which is useful when
the creation of modern displays can involve temperatures measured in
hundreds of degrees Celsius. Most importantly, though, Willow Glass is
flexible enough to be rolled up and used in continuous roll-to-roll processes.
It is this last point that is most exciting to display manufacturers, as it could
significantly speed up production and reduce costs.

9. If production of these cells can be
scaled up roll-to-roll processing, it
would be possible to create very
cheap solar power shingles that could
be used instead of conventional
asphalt, brick, or slate shingles.
When it comes to adopting solar
power, the cost of installation is one
of the most prohibitive factors. While
solar panels themselves generally
cost less than $1 per watt, the cost of
installation can be five or 10 times
that amount. Instead of paying a
huge amount to have solar panels
installed on your roof, it would be
much cheaper if new houses were
simply built with roofing made of
solar panels. It would be rather
exciting if each home produced the
electricity that it required — in sunny
climes, at any rate.

10. Rising Demand For High Performance Displays
Consumers today are demanding higher resolution televisions and
monitors for a better viewing experience. This is pushing manufacturers
like Samsung, Toshiba and Sony to introduce more pixels on their liquid
crystal display and organic light-emitting diode screens. However, a key
condition in adding more pixels to the display screen is that
manufacturing should take place at higher temperatures.
Corning Lotus XT display glass substrate allows precisely this and thus
enables manufacture of higher resolution displays. Corning figures that
driven by consumer demand for a more life-like viewing experience, this
market for high performance displays will grow at 47% annually over the
next few years. This will likely drive strong growth in sales volume of the
company’s Lotus XT display glass substrate.

11. A form of computing that offers “a natural way of
interacting with information,” rather than the
“traditional user interface”
Surface computing typically includes four key
attributes:
 Direct Interaction
 Multi–Touch
 Multi–User
 Object Recognition
What is surface computing?
Multi touch surface
SURFACE COMPUTING

12. DIRECT INTERACTION
The ability to "grab" digital
information with hands -
interacting with touch/
gesture, not with a mouse
or keyboard.

13. MULTI – TOUCH
The ability to recognize
multiple points of contact
at the same time, not just
one (Ex. One finger, like
with most touch screens),
but dozens.

14. MULTI – USER
The Surface’s screen is
horizontal , allowing many
people to come together
around It and experience a
“collaborative, face–to–face
computing experience”

15. OBJECT RECOGNITION
Physical objects can be placed
on the Surface’s screen to
“trigger different types of
digital responses” (Ex. cell
phones, cameras, & glasses of
wine)

17. Microsoft Surface
 The Surface is not a touch-sensitive screen device…
The screen itself is not electronic
 The Surface uses multiple infrared cameras beneath the
screen/table top to sense objects, physical touch, etc
 The Surface “recognizes objects based on shape or by using
domino-style identification (domino tags) on the bottom
of the objects ”
 This information is processed and displayed using
“ rear projection ”

18. Working of Microsoft Surface

19. Working of Microsoft Surface
Screen: Diffuser -> ”multitouch" screen. Can process multiple inputs and
recognize objects by their shapes or coded "domino" tags.
Infrared: The ”machine vision" is aimed at the screen. Once an object
touches the tabletop -> the light reflects back and is picked up by
infrared cameras.
CPU: Uses similar components as current desktop computers -> Core 2
Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 256MB graphics card. Wireless
communication -> Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas (future -> RFID).
Operating system -> modified version of Microsoft Vista.
Projector: Uses a DLP light engine ( rear-projection HDTVs).

20. APPICATIONS

21. Data representation/transfer is more
intuitive
User friendly
No use of input/output devices like mouse keyboard
etc . . .
Easily portable . . .
ADVANTAGES

22. PHOTOVOLTAIC TRANSPARENT GLASS
Transparent solar panels use a tin oxide coating on the inner surface of
the glass panes to conduct current out of the cell. The cell contains
titanium oxide that is coated with a photoelectric dye.
Most conventional solar cells use visible and infrared light to generate
electricity. In contrast, the innovative new solar cell also uses
ultraviolet radiation.
Used to replace conventional window glass, or placed over the glass,
the installation surface area could be large, leading to potential uses
that take advantage of the combined functions of power generation,
lighting and temperature control.
Photovoltaic transparent glass can be used in automotive display.
Photovoltaic panels come in various shapes and colors offering
flexibility for design integration and building integrated applications
(BIPV).

23. FLEXIBLE DISPLAY GLASS
A flexible display is a display which is
flexible in nature; differentiable from the
more prevalent traditional flat screen
displays used in most electronics devices.
In the recent years there's has been a
growing interest from numerous
consumer electronics manufacturers to
apply this display technology in
e-readers, mobile phones and other consumer electronics.
Flexible electronic paper (e-paper) based displays were the first
flexible displays conceptualized and prototyped. Though this form of
flexible displays has a long history and were attempted by many
companies, it is only recently that this technology began to see
commercial implementations slated for mass production to be used
in consumer electronic devices.
A flexible organic light emitting diode (FOLED) is a type
of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) incorporating a flexible
plastic substrate on which the electroluminescent organic
semiconductor is deposited. This enables the device to be bent or
rolled while still operating.

24. VIDEO CONFERING GLASS WALL
The logic of glass wall in a room is to make communication easy and share
the things more easily. A lot of bandwidth needed for glass for projection of
image at real time . This can change the way we work !!!

25. H TO H EDUCATIONAL WALL
THE classroom of future will be more
interactive then today.
There will be display not just on the
head of the class but on every desk.
Here the wall itself has become the
interactive educational wall. The
students will have their own tablet
that is connected to the educational
wall ,with every small footprint
operating system that communicate
with each other.

26. At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and
touch
Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves
beyond
the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience
It is a natural user interface
 Main Functions:
 Direct interaction.
 Multi-touch contact.
 Multi-user experience.
 Object recognition.
CLASS COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITY
TABLE
Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary computer that responds to
natural hand gestures and real-world objects, creating unique
new ways for people to collaboratively interact with digital
content

27. Microsoft Surface computing uses sensing and display technology to infuse
everyday surfaces with digital content and is comprised of the following
unique attributes:
Object recognitionDirect interaction Multi-touch Multi-user

28. The era of 3D TV is upon us. As movie studios, sports networks, and live
concert venues realize the potential of 3D programming, more content is
becoming available, driving consumer demand for sets.
LCD technology is the dominant platform for 3D television, based on inherent
advantages such as high brightness, fast response time, LED backlighting,
and polarization control. These features make LCD more versatile for
viewing 3D content with, or even without, special glasses.
As the industry leader in LCD glass, Corning is ready for the 3D revolution.
The dimensional stability and pristine surface quality of our large-size glass
substrates enable higher resolution displays, and the thinness of our glass
substrates enables the alignment of optical layers for better 3D images—
proving once more that at Corning, there is always more behind the glass.
Corning® Gorilla® Glass an optical clarity that helps deliver on the promise
of high-definition and 3D TV
3D TV DISPLAY GLASS

29.  Research work is going on several top universities like
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of technology) with a
innovation named SIXTH SENSE. This is an application
of surface computing.
 Research on building user defined gestures that are
used in surface computing that make the graphical
representation more intuitive…
R&D

30. 1.)What's great about all these ideas and technologies for consumer
electronics glass is that they're all about to come to market over the next
two years.
They'll transform the shape, size, performance and functionality of
everything we touch, and use in a new world where glass is smart, clear,
weatherproof, self-cleaning and cheap!
2.)Surface takes existing technology and
touch screen, but more of a touch-grab
move-slide-resize and place objects on
top of screen, and this opens up new
possibilities that weren't there before.
