Kang Ningfa fifth generation gorilla glass, further enhance the tolerance!

The west coast of the United States on July 20th morning, Corelle (CORNING) in California city PaloAlto released its latest fifth generation gorilla glass, according to Corelle data presented show that the new generation of the glass plate wear resistance and drop resistance compared with the fourth generation has been further improved.

According to a recent global survey, more than 85% of global intelligent mobile phone users every year at least their mobile phone drop one time, 55% of users fell more than three times, and there are more than 60% users in the mobile phone is in drop, drop in the process of using mobile phone, usually in the drop height of shoulder to waist position.

In 2014 when Corelle released the fourth generation gorilla glass, was given the drop safety data is a meter, obviously if combined with the survey data above, data security and so drop distance in real life has a significant difference. And this has become a major improvement in Corelle's latest generation gorilla glass.

According to the data given by Corelle, the fifth generation gorilla glass dropped to a height of 1.6 meters, in this range, the new glass cover fell intact rate of up to 80%. Compared to the fourth generation gorilla glass, in the fall resistance, the top fifth glass to enhance the times of 1.8.

Due to the use of new materials and ion exchange technology, the fifth generation gorilla glass scratch resistance compared to the fourth generation is about 2 times, compared with competing products (sodium calcium glass common) there are about four times improvement.

There are many OEM manufacturers began to contact and do the assessment test on the fifth generation gorilla glass, according to Corelle's official description, is expected next month or Q3 will have OEM vendors use the gorilla glass cover a whole new generation in their own products.

Fifth generations of gorillas can say goodbye to broken screen?

Then the fifth generation of Corelle gorilla glass, is not the phone to say goodbye to broken screen it? In fact, the glass is stronger than the previous generation, but in fact, it is also powerful, glass is not?

In fact if you can understand the mobile phone screen, you know, now the mobile phone screen using the fitting process, so that the screen mobile phone cover, a liquid crystal layer, the touch layer tightly attached together, thus increasing screen permeability, while allowing the entire screen thinner film group. So in most cases, the glass cover is more meaningful for us to ensure that the screen will not be scratched.

In the fall, glass hardness and ruggedness is one of the key factors, more factors from the overall design of mobile phone, such as a metal frame and the back of the screen is not strong, the buffer zone around the screen frame and dispensing process is not good enough to do so. So do not think that your phone has a new generation of gorilla glass, it is safe, the strength of the glass cover is indeed increased, but also depends on the OEM manufacturers can use it well.

Corelle also strength on the popular 2.5D glass explained, they found that the 2.5D glass and ordinary 2D glass will not impact on the differences in the study, so the strict sense of the curved edge of the screen will not affect the glass cover of the anti fall.

Gorilla glass and sapphire who better?

Many people have this question, especially when a rumor that XX and iPhone will use the sapphire cover, this problem is more in the consumer.

You can actually see this as a contrast between glass and sapphire. Corelle gorilla again severe, can not escape it is the essence of glass. Mohs hardness on the Mohs hardness of 7, sapphire is 9, it is clear that sapphire is harder, so it is better for wear resistance.

But why not suitable for mobile phone sapphire such large size products cover? The reason is because of poor toughness of sapphire, the ruggedness is glass Shuaixia a large portion of the sapphire cover will be used in more like watches, fingerprint identification is not easy to drop the envelope. This is also the main reason why artificial sapphire can not be used in the field of consumer electronics.

Corelle released a new product plan earlier, they called it "Phire", this thing according to Corelle's own is a kind of new material, it has good abrasion resistance and toughness of sapphire glass, is a future alternative, against the gorilla glass sapphire material.
