Corning announced its latest offering, the Gorilla Glass SR+ for wearable devices. SR+ is specially designed to significantly reduce visible scratches while delivering the toughness, optical clarity, and touch sensitivity. Gorilla Glass has been designed into 4.5 Billion devices by more than 40 major OEMs.
With wearable devices getting popular, challenges to keep them safe from knocks, bumps and scratches would be manufacturers first priority. In their lab tests, Gorilla Glass SR+ demonstrated superior scratch resistance approaching that of alternative luxury cover materials, while delivering up to 70 percent better damage resistance against impacts and 25 percent better surface reflection than those alternative materials. Such step improvements in optical performance enable longer battery life and improved outdoor readability.
Corning Gorilla Glass SR+ is commercially available and is expected to be on product models from leading global brands later this year.
