Who invented Gorilla Glass?

Corning
WIRED has published a compelling look at how Corning created Gorilla Glass, which is used in iPhones. Steve Jobs went to Corning in 2005 and convinced CEO Wendell Weeks that is company could invent a new type of glass within six months.

Why is Gorilla Glass scratch resistant?

Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance (NDR) technology was announced back in 2013. The glass is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass tougher and scratch resistant. With the improved damage resistance, the glass can survive pressures, deep cuts and scratches.

What does Gorilla Glass mean?

Gorilla Glass is a scratch-resistant and durable glass product from Corning that is used to protect the screens of tablets, smartphone and other mobile devices. The glass derives its strength from this layer of compression, and is less likely to suffer a serious break if the mobile device is dropped.

What does Gorilla Glass 6 mean?

To solve for this, Corning scientists engineered tougher, drop-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6. In our lab tests, Gorilla Glass 6 survived drops from up to 1.6 meters onto hard, rough surfaces. Gorilla Glass 6 also delivers up to 2x improvement in scratch performance compared to competitive aluminosilicate.

Which Gorilla Glass is best?

Gorilla Glass Types Across the world, at any price point, drop protection remains the number one durability concern with today’s smartphones. Gorilla® Glass 6 delivers the industry’s best drop protection for premium devices, and Gorilla® Glass 5 remains Corning’s most widely adopted drop glass.

Is Gorilla Glass 3 or 5 better?

But finally, every gorilla glass is stronger and it is very thin and more flexible compared to other glasses but at the same time, it is costlier also, especially gorilla glass 3, 5 and 6.

Which is better Corning Gorilla Glass 3 or 5?

The thing with ion-strengthened glasses is, that the more shatterproof they become, the more are they susceptible to scratches. In order to improve drop resistant, glass has to become softer which makes it easier to scratch. This is also why the Gorilla Glass 3 is more scratch resistant than the Gorilla Glass 5.

Which Corning Gorilla glass is better?

The Gorilla Glass Victus is also said to surpass Gorilla Glass 6 in terms of durability. Corning states that Victus is two times more scratch-resistant than Gorilla Glass 6 and up to four times scratch-resistant than competitors.

Does Corning Gorilla 3 break?

Gorilla Glass 3 was introduced at CES 2013. According to Corning, the material is up to three times more scratch-resistant than the previous version, with enhanced ability to resist deep scratches that typically weaken glass….Development.
