Corning Lotus™ Glass is a new high-performance display glass developed to enable cutting-edge technologies, including organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays and next generation liquid crystal displays (LCD) by providing a stable and reliable platform from start to finish.
Corning Lotus Glass is formulated to perform exceptionally well in low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) and oxide thin film transistor (TFT) backplane manufacturing environments. It’s tough enough to withstand demanding manufacturing processes, while delivering the pristine surface quality customers require. This allows for the vibrant colours and clarity OLED and LCD transmissions are known for.
The intrinsic thermal consistency of Corning Lotus Glass allows it to retain its shape and quality during high-temperature processing. Decreased compaction and variation during the crystallization and activation step further reduces stress and distortions to the substrate. This enables tighter design rules in advanced backplanes for higher resolution and faster response time.
The end result is a thin, portable display device that consumes less power while delivering superior picture quality.
“Corning Lotus Glass has a high annealing point that delivers the thermal and dimensional stability our customers require to produce high-performance displays,” said Andrew Filson, worldwide commercial director, Display Technologies, and vice president, Corning Holding Japan GK. “Because of its intrinsic stability, it can withstand the thermal cycles of customer processing better than conventional LCD glass substrates. This enables tighter design rules in advanced backplanes for higher resolution and faster response time.”
The thermal consistency of Corning Lotus Glass allows it to retain its shape and surface quality during high-temperature processing. This helps guard against thermal sag and warp, which improves the integration of components onto the glass.
Produced using Corning’s proprietary fusion process, Corning Lotus Glass offers the advantages of the company’s other industry-leading glass substrates – including a pristine surface and advanced thickness control.
“Corning will continue to develop innovative glass compositions to enable the high-performance displays that will drive tomorrow’s consumer electronics,” Filson said.
