Mobile Displays: Battle of Glasses As Smartphone Screen Size Is Getting Larger, It Makes the Display More Vulnerable to Damage/Scratches Through Accidental Drops tech&trends Mobile Displays: Battle of Glasses As smartphone screen size is getting larger, it makes the display more vulnerable to damage/scratches through accidental drops. But with names like Gorilla Glass, Sapphire, DragonTrail, etc you don’t need to worry anymore – Anuj Sharma he smartphone screen is the one of important components of the device as this is where you will spend most of the time interacting with Tit. We all stick screen guards to protect it from those scratches or hairline breaks and also pack them in cases so that it does not shatter on fall. So the best way to avoid the agony is to make the screen completely scratch resistant. We all know about Gorilla Glass and how it pro- tects the screen. Let’s now take a detailed look at what it as well others have to offer. Corning Gorilla Glass Gorilla Glass is an alkali-aluminosilicate sheet toughened glass developed and manufactured by Corning. The glass improved mechanical durability of the glass to in-field dam- combines thinness, lightness and damage-resistance age such as through drops. properties and is widely used as a cover glass on most smartphones, tablets, television screens etc. Fusion and Sapphire Glass Ion-Exchange processes are employed in making the glass. Sapphire is not new and it’s not just a gemstone. It is a In the fusion process raw materials (silicon dioxide) are transparent crystal that happens to take on some attractive blended into a glass composition, which is melted and hues yellow, purple, orange, green or red when it forms conditioned. The resulting glass is aluminosilicate that naturally. However pure sapphire is hard to find thus combines aluminum, silicon and oxygen. The molten synthetic sapphire has been widely used in wristwatch glass is fed into a trough called an isopipe. It then rejoins, crystals, windows, camera lenses, etc. Synthetic sapphire or fuses, at the bottom, where it is drawn down to form is manufactured by applying high heat and pressure to a continuous thin sheet of flat glass. Ion exchange is a aluminum oxide powder (sapphire is, after all, just a chemical strengthening process where large ions are compound of aluminum and oxygen). It is heat-treated to stuffed into the glass surface. The glass is placed in a hot eliminate its internal stresses which can cause weakness bath of molten salt at a temperature of approximately and later processed into sheets to form what is known as 400 degrees. Smaller sodium ions leave the glass, and sapphire glass. And that’s what ends up on your phone as a larger potassium ions replace them. These large ions are cover glass. pressed together producing a layer of compressive stress It is 4 times tougher than glass and is also considered as on the surface of the glass. This allows the potassium ions hardest material after moissanite and diamond, projecting to diffuse far into the surface, creating high compressive a value of 9 on Mohs scale that measures mineral hard- stress deep into the glass. This layer of compression creates ness. The key benefits of sapphire is that it is highly trans- the surface that is more resistant to damage. By 2010, Gorilla Glass 1 was used in approximately 20 percent of mobile handsets worldwide. The second generation, called Gorilla Glass 2, was introduced in 2012 and is 20 percent thinner than the original Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass 3 is up to three times more scratch-resistant than the previous version of the product, demonstrating an enhanced ability to resist deep scratches that gener- ally weaken glass. Recently Corning introduced GG4 in the consumer electronics market. Gorilla Glass 4 provides at least two times improved damage resistance resulting in 22 PCQUEST FEBRUARY 2015 pcquest.com twitter.com/pcquest facebook.com/pcquest linkd.in/pcquest [email protected] How different glasses compare Single Crystal Glass Physical Property Units Sapphire Corning Gorilla Glass DragonTrail Glass Soda Lime Glass Density g/cm3 3.97 2.42 2.48 2.5 Young’s Elastic of Modulus GPa 345 71.5 74 73 Shear Modulus GPa 145 29.6 30 30 Fracture Toughness Mpa√m 2.3 0.68 1.2-1.8 0.7-0.8 Knoop Hardness GPa 18.6 6.17 6.95 6.03 Vickers Hardness kg/mm2 2200 649 673 580 Di-electric Constant k 9.39 7.23 7.3 7.75 Refractive Index ɳ 1.76 1.51 1.51 1.52 parent to wavelengths and highly resistant to scratching expensive as it involves large furnaces and diamond to and abrasion.

The glass is produced using High Ion Exchange process which is then chemically strenghtened to achieve scratch, break/impact, and shock resistance. The resulting glass is strong, lightweight and flexible. The material’s primary properties are its strength, allowing thin glass without fragility, its high scratch resistance and its hardness making it and ideal solution for cover glass and touch screen applications. Dragontrail was launched in 2011 and is used by the Oplus XonPhone 5, Sony Xperia Z series, Xiaomi MI2 and Redmi, Galaxy nexus, Xolo Q1000 and Q1010i, XOLO Win Q900S, etc. Soda Lime Glass Soda-lime glass is relatively inexpensive, chemically stable, reasonably hard, and is capable of being re-softened and re-melted numerous times, thus it is ideal for glass recy- cling also.

    Touch Panel The touch panel is an input device, so it needs to be combined with a display and a PC or other device to make a complete touch input system. This is the main structure. • Cover Lens - Can be made of composed of glass, PET, PC or other plastic film. This primarily serves to protect the touch sensor and act as an electrical insulator, though it can also be a functional part of the product, in the case of resistive technology. • Touch Sensor - this is wear the circuity for the touch screen is located and it acts to collect and process the touch signal • Controller - The controller connects between the touch sensor and the PCB. It takes information from the touch sensor and translates it into information that the PCB can understand and act on. • COF - The controller can be located on a chip mounted on the product’s FPC (this is known as Chip on Film – or COF). • COB - The controller can also be on a separate PCB (known as COB – Chip on Board). • Software Drivers - The driver allows the touchscreen and PCB to work together. It tells the computer’s OS how to interpret the touch information that is sent from the controller. Most touch screen drivers today are a mouse emulation type - this makes touching the screen the same as clicking your mouse at the same location on the screen. This allows the touchscreen to work with existing software eases application development costs and lead times. • FPC - a flat printed circuit cable (FPC or FFC) that is used to send data from the screen to the controller, or the display to the board.

  • Materials Innovation Case Study: Corning’S Gorilla Glass 3 for Consumer Electronics
    Materials Innovation Case Study: Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 for Consumer Electronics SUMMARY Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 is a notable materials innovation that occurred over a compressed, 22-month time period—an achievement facilitated by Corning’s depth of modeling capability, experience with prior Gorilla Glass products, and direct control over the major elements of the innovation process. The following case study explores the specific actions that led to this success through the development of a “reverse roadmap,” which captures and classifies the key activities that either accelerated or inhibited the innovation process. Gorilla Glass has indeed been a commercial BACKGROUND success for Corning—recently, Gorilla Glass 4 was While it is now a household name, Corning’s introduced to extend the product line. At the end Gorilla Glass has only been used in consumer of 2015, Corning’s Gorilla Glass had been used in applications for less than 10 years. In fact, the first over 4.5 billion devices, including smartphones, 4 generation of the glass—which resists breakage tablets, notebook computers, and smartwatches, and scratching thanks to a chemical treatment as well as extended applications such as interior applied by an ion exchange process1—was architecture and design, markerboards, and developed for Apple’s first iPhone, launched automotive glass and touch panels. in 2007.

  • Micro-Hole Drilling on Glass Substrates—A Review
    micromachines Review Micro-Hole Drilling on Glass Substrates—A Review Lucas A. Hof 1 and Jana Abou Ziki 2,* 1 Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, Concordia University, 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West, Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada; [email protected] 2 Bharti School of Engineering, Laurentian University, Sudbury, ON P3E 2C6, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-705-675-1151 (ext. 2296) Academic Editors: Hongrui Jiang and Nam-Trung Nguyen Received: 14 November 2016; Accepted: 3 February 2017; Published: 13 February 2017 Abstract: Glass micromachining is currently becoming essential for the fabrication of micro-devices, including micro- optical-electro-mechanical-systems (MOEMS), miniaturized total analysis systems (µTAS) and microfluidic devices for biosensing. Moreover, glass is radio frequency (RF) transparent, making it an excellent material for sensor and energy transmission devices. Advancements are constantly being made in this field, yet machining smooth through-glass vias (TGVs) with high aspect ratio remains challenging due to poor glass machinability. As TGVs are required for several micro-devices, intensive research is being carried out on numerous glass micromachining technologies. This paper reviews established and emerging technologies for glass micro-hole drilling, describing their principles of operation and characteristics, and their advantages and disadvantages. These technologies are sorted into four machining categories: mechanical, thermal, chemical, and hybrid machining (which combines several machining methods). Achieved features by these methods are summarized in a table and presented in two graphs. We believe that this paper will be a valuable resource for researchers working in the field of glass micromachining as it provides a comprehensive review of the different glass micromachining technologies.

  • From Pyrex to Vaccine Vials
    PROFILE Corning: from Pyrex to Vaccine Vials The US group that invented Pyrex has also developed ultra-tough glass for smartphone screens and high-tech ceramics for catalytic converters in cars. Now it’s manufacturing vials adapted to COVID-19 vaccines that must be stored at -70°C. Corning’s Eagle glass enables manufacturers to innovate with LCD screens that are designed to be slimmer, lighter and more eco-friendly. (©Corning Incorporated) By Benoît Georges Published March 31, 2021 at 11:10 a.m. | Updated March 31, 2021 at 11:24 a.m. What do your smartphone screen, the Pyrex dishes you cook with, the ceramic essential to the catalytic converter in your car, the fiber optics that connect you to the Internet, and a vial of COVID-19 vaccine have in common? All these products were invented by a 100-year-old company that you’ve probably never heard of: the US company Corning. A global giant with 50,000 employees and a turnover of 11 billion dollars whose 108 plants worldwide supply the major telecom operators, Nasa, Mercedes, Apple, and Pfizer. Corning is also the name of a small town with a population of 10,500, and a five hour drive from Manhattan in an area of upstate New York that is mostly known for its lakes and vineyards. Ever since a businessman, Amory Houghton, moved his glassworks there from Brooklyn in 1868, the destinies of Corning (the town) and Corning (the company) have been intertwined. The group provides jobs for 7,000 people in the region, where it has always had its headquarters and main R&D lab.
