Jade® Glass for Advanced Display
Consumers expect their multifunctional mobile handsets to offer advanced features, such as higher-resolution displays and lower power consumption. An increasing number of these high-performance applications are being manufactured using low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology. Recognizing that there was no glass substrate fully optimized for LTPS applications, Corning filled the void by developing Jade® glass for advanced display.
Jade supports the many advantages that LTPS brings to advanced mobile devices, including better electron mobility and a higher aperture ratio, which results in brighter displays and reduced energy consumption. Produced using Corning's proprietary fusion process, Jade provides a flat, pristine surface with exceptional surface quality and dimensional control. Jade is the first glass for LTPS that will be used "as-formed," with no secondary heat treatment or polishing needed. This new glass also offers an intrinsic thermal stability, built into the glass through its chemistry. Jade accommodates tighter design rules and enables customers to integrate more components directly onto the glass.
Corning is already at work on new compositions with even higher strain points and temperature tolerances. In addition, Jade will help enable emerging display technologies such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) – and when used together with Corning's Vita® hermetic sealing solution for OLEDs, will optimize OLED performance. As a result, Jade glass for advanced display will play a key role in mobile device production, both now and in the future.
