Corning Incorporated announced plans to work with Christie® Digital Systems, a global visual technologies company, and its suppliers at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, 8-11 January. Corning showcased Christie’s 55-inch LCD flat-panel that uses optically bonded Corning® Gorilla® Glass in its booth. Christie’s FHD551-X model is best-suited for configuring video walls.
“Corning’s work with Christie on the FHD551-X has opened up a variety of new opportunities in the digital signage market,” said Richard Heslett, senior product manager, Christie. “Corning Gorilla Glass helps produce a beautiful device capable of numerous eye-catching video-wall configurations. Also, because it provides the damage resistance for these types of commercial displays, Corning Gorilla Glass is the ideal cover-glass solution for Christie.”
Corning Gorilla Glass, the world-leading thin cover-glass solution, allows for a sleek, narrow-bezel design that enables a wide variety of tiled video-wall applications. The model’s high pixel density and minimal seams – as small as 5.9mm, coupled with the optical clarity of directly bonded Gorilla Glass, optimize its full HD resolution and deliver a spectacular viewing experience.
“Christie’s FHD551-X model is visually stunning from both a design and performance standpoint. Optically clear Corning Gorilla Glass won’t hinder the high pixel density of today’s most innovative, high-performance displays,” said David Loeber, business director, Large Cover Glass, Corning.
“Furthermore, Corning Gorilla Glass enables a remarkably thin design so our customers benefit from a lighter device, leading to transportation, mounting, and installation costs savings.”
Corning Gorilla Glass is the standard for protective cover glass performance and is now on more than 33 brands, 975 models and 1 billion devices worldwide.
Advanced multi-touch and digital-signage solutions are well-suited for the public display market, which is growing due to increased penetration into the retail, hospitality, transportation, government and defence, media and entertainment, and education industries.
