Gorilla Glass coming to HDTV market to protect against Wii Remotes |
Corning has been offering Gorilla Glass for years but the stuff has only become common in the mobile market over the last few years. We typically see Gorilla Glass used for smartphone screens like the iPhone 4.
Corning has announced that starting next year Gorilla Glass will find a new market. The glass will be used to protect HDTVs from scratches and breakage. This is great news for Wii players who won’t have to worry as much about killing the TV.
The glass reportedly won’t add too much to the cost of the sets. Corning claims Gorilla Glass is about two to three times stronger than normal glass.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I know I’ve seen impact resistant screens on Insignia TVs even as early as march of this year. I remember the sales girl demonstrating it in store by picking up a sign and throwing it at the TV on the wall….
“So this is one of those shatter proof HDTV’s huh”, he says while throwing a deck chair. “nope” the man replies just as the chair smashes through the screen.
Any reflectivity advantages?
