Corning Showcases Industry-leading Advanced Glass Solutions at SID's Display Week 2018

At booth #1029, Corning will showcase its rich history as an innovation leader enabling applications that meet consumer demands for large-size LCD TVs, stunning OLED mobile phones, and immersive augmented reality devices.

"We are leveraging Corning's core technologies and our manufacturing and engineering expertise to drive the next wave of display innovations," said Chris Hudson, international division vice president and commercial director, Corning Display Technologies. "For over 165 years, Corning has effectively leveraged our experience and capabilities to transform the future in ways once thought impossible. Today, the display industry is witnessing a shift to the next generation of devices, and Corning is excited to be at the forefront of this continued evolution."

Additionally, Corning's booth will feature:

Corning Lotus(TM) NXT Glass
