Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) unveiled its latest breakthrough innovation – Corning  Gorilla Glass 5. Responding to consumers’ No. 1 issue with mobile devices, the new cover glass is designed to provide further protection against breakage from everyday drops. Rigorous lab tests show that Gorilla Glass 5 survives drops onto rough, unforgiving surfaces up to four times better than competitive glass designs.

The unique attributes of Gorilla Glass 5 build on the best-in- class performance of previous generations of Corning Gorilla Glass. Mobile devices are the primary tools consumers use to capture, view, create, send and consume digital content, and the cover glass is the interface for touching, typing and swiping that content. Consumers count on their cover glass to deliver damage resistance, optical clarity, touch sensitivity, and protection from drops.

According to a recent global study , over 85% of smartphone owners have dropped their phones at least once per year and 55% have dropped their phones three times or more.

Additionally, more than 60% of smartphone owners reported dropping their devices between shoulder and waist height.

In lab tests, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 survives up to 80 percent of the time when dropped face- down from 1.6 meters onto rough surfaces, far outperforming competitive glass designs.

Leveraging its strengths in glass science and fusion manufacturing, Corning leads the cover glass industry it created nearly 10 years ago. Corning Gorilla Glass has been used on more than 4.5 billion devices worldwide, including more than 1,800 product models across 40 major brands. Gorilla Glass 5 will allow manufacturers to provide the ultimate in high- resolution, touch-enabled devices.
