2. HISTROY OF CORNING AND ITS INNOIVATION IN DISPLAY Technologies Gorilla Glass Gets Even Better Gorilla Glass, a technology invented by Corning, has already changed the mobile industry. But most consumers don't know the role Steve Jobs had in making that happen. Corning engineers invented the technology behind Gorilla Glass in the 1960s. At the time, they couldn't find any commercial applications for it so the project just stopped. Fast forward to 2006. Apple was finalizing materials for the upcoming iPhone, and Jobs was dissatisfied with the hard plastic that many phones, including the iPhone prototype, used for displays. The biggest complaint was that they scratched too easily. At the time, plastic was preferred because glass was considered too breakable for phones of Corning to find out if that company could develop a super-hard, scratch-resistant glass for Apple products. 3. Corning brought the old '60s project back to life and called it Gorilla Glass. Now, it's the standard for mobile devices and found in 600 million devices. A new version introduced this year, called Gorilla Glass 2, which is just as strong but 20% thinner, will help smartphones and tablets continue to get thinner and lighter without sacrificing durability. Corning has another glass technology that could really change things for consumer technology. The new glass is both flexible and very thin. The flexibility enables the manufacturing process to resemble how plastic is made, on factory rollers. It has all the scratch- and heat-resistance of glass. The company envisions the use of this technology to make wall-size touch displays, for example, and tiny mobile phones that are very thin, light and low cost. The company also announced this week a new glass technology that kills bacteria and viruses, including scary antibiotic-resistant super bugs. This will be great for medical tablets, and possibly for consumers. 4. Corning Willow Glass 1.)Corning Willow Glass will help enable thin, light and cost-efficient applications including todays slim displays and the smart surfaces of the future. 2.) The thinness, strength and flexibility of the glass has the potential to enable displays to be wrapped around a device or structure. 3.) As well, Corning Willow Glass can be processed at temperatures up to 500 C. High temperature processing capability is essential for todays high end displays, and is a processing condition that cannot be supported with polymer films. 4.)Corning Willow Glass will enable the industry to pursue high-temperature, continuous roll-to- roll processes similar to how newsprint is produced - that have been impossible until now. It will support thinner backplanes and color filters for both Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) and liquid crystal displays (LCD) in high performance, portable devices such as smart phones, tablets, and notebook computers. 5.)This new, ultra-slim flexible glass will also help develop conformable (curved) displays for immersive viewing or mounting on non-flat surfaces. Corning Willow Glass is formulated to perform exceptionally well for electronic components such as touch sensors, as well as leveraging glasss natural hermetic properties as a seal for OLED displays and other moisture and oxygen sensitive technologies. 5. The future is flexible: Corning WillowTM Glass At roughly the same thickness as a sheet of copy paper, Corning WillowTM Glass is thin enough to be flexible while retaining its superior glass attributes. Willow Glass provides the inherent benefits of glass in a mechanically bendable form-factor, enabling cost-efficient device processing. It will enable thinner, lighter, and potentially flexible electronic devices, that deliver high performance at a lower cost. Edge tab enables practical use of Willow Glass in roll-to-roll processing. 6. Corning Willow Glass used to make flexible solar power roofing shingles, could lower the cost of solar power significantly The US governments National Renewable Energy Laboratory has built flexible solar cells out of Cornings Willow Glass. These new solar cells are strong enough that they could eventually replace roofing shingles, which would significantly shrink the biggest barrier to mass adoption of solar power: the cost of installation. As you probably know, Corning is the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass, which furnishes the front of many smartphones, including the iPhone, and most HTC and Samsung devices. (See: Gorilla Glass coming to cars, making them more resilient and efficient.) Gorilla Glass is essentially a variety of alkali-alumina silicate toughened glass that has been engineered for a combination of desirable factors (high strength and toughness, while remaining thin and light). Willow Glass, on the other hand, is a flexible, transparent, thin (0.1mm) borosilicate glass thats intended to be used as a substrate a material on which other components, such as LCD or OLED electronics, can be laid down. Being a borosilicate glass, Willow Glass just like Pyrex, which was developed by Corning in 1915 is very heat resistant, which is useful when the creation of modern displays can involve temperatures measured in hundreds of degrees Celsius. Most importantly, though, Willow Glass is flexible enough to be rolled up and used in continuous roll-to-roll processes. It is this last point that is most exciting to display manufacturers, as it could significantly speed up production and reduce costs. 7. If production of these cells can be scaled up roll-to-roll processing, it would be possible to create very cheap solar power shingles that could be used instead of conventional asphalt, brick, or slate shingles. When it comes to adopting solar power, the cost of installation is one of the most prohibitive factors. While solar panels themselves generally cost less than $1 per watt, the cost of installation can be five or 10 times that amount. Instead of paying a huge amount to have solar panels installed on your roof, it would be much cheaper if new houses were simply built with roofing made of solar panels. It would be rather exciting if each home produced the electricity that it required in sunny climes, at any rate. 8. Rising Demand For High Performance Displays Consumers today are demanding higher resolution televisions and monitors for a better viewing experience. This is pushing manufacturers like Samsung, Toshiba and Sony to introduce more pixels on their liquid crystal display and organic light-emitting diode screens. However, a key condition in adding more pixels to the display screen is that manufacturing should take place at higher temperatures. Corning Lotus XT display glass substrate allows precisely this and thus enables manufacture of higher resolution displays. Corning figures that driven by consumer demand for a more life-like viewing experience, this market for high performance displays will grow at 47% annually over the next few years. This will likely drive strong growth in sales volume of the companys Lotus XT display glass substrate. 9. A form of computing that offers a natural way of interacting with information, rather than the traditional user interface Surface computing typically includes four key attributes: Direct Interaction MultiTouch MultiUser Object Recognition What is surface computing? Multi touch surface SURFACE COMPUTING 10. DIRECT INTERACTION The ability to "grab" digital information with hands - interacting with touch/ gesture, not with a mouse or keyboard. 11. MULTI TOUCH The ability to recognize multiple points of contact at the same time, not just one (Ex. One finger, like with most touch screens), but dozens. 12. MULTI USER The Surfaces screen is horizontal , allowing many people to come together around It and experience a collaborative, facetoface computing experience 13. OBJECT RECOGNITION Physical objects can be placed on the Surfaces screen to trigger different types of digital responses (Ex. cell phones, cameras, & glasses of wine) 14. Types 1.Microsoft Surface 2. Laser Touch (Microsoft) 3. Gesture Tek 4. Perceptive Pixel 5. Diamond Touch (Mitsubishi) 6. Smart Table 7. Catchyoo 8. Reactrix 9. Sensacell Developments done till now. 15. Microsoft Surface The Surface is not a touch-sensitive screen device The screen itself is not electronic The Surface uses multiple infrared cameras beneath the screen/table top to sense objects, physical touch, etc The Surface recognizes objects based on shape or by using domino-style identification (domino tags) on the bottom of the objects This information is processed and displayed using rear projection 16. Working of Microsoft Surface 17. Working of Microsoft Surface Screen: Diffuser -> multitouch" screen. Can process multiple inputs and recognize objects by their shapes or coded "domino" tags. Infrared: The machine vision" is aimed at the screen. Once an object touches the tabletop -> the light reflects back and is picked up by infrared cameras. CPU: Uses similar components as current desktop computers -> Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 256MB graphics card. Wireless communication -> Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas (future -> RFID). Operating system -> modified version of Microsoft Vista. Projector: Uses a DLP light engine ( rear-projection HDTVs). 18. APPICATIONS 19. Data representation/transfer is more intuitive User friendly No use of input/output devices like mouse keyboard etc . . . Easily portable . . . ADVANTAGES 20. PHOTOVOLTAIC TRANSPARENT GLASS Transparent solar panels use a tin oxide coating on the inner surface of the glass panes to conduct current out of the cell. The cell contains titanium oxide that is coated with a photoelectric dye. Most conventional solar cells use visible and infrared light to generate electricity. In contrast, the innovative new solar cell also uses ultraviolet radiation. Used to replace conventional window glass, or placed over the glass, the installation surface area could be large, leading to potential uses that take advantage of the combined functions of power generation, lighting and temperature control. Photovoltaic transparent glass can be used in automotive display. Photovoltaic panels come in various shapes and colors offering flexibility for design integration and building integrated applications (BIPV). 21. FLEXIBLE DISPLAY GLASS A flexible display is a display which is flexible in nature; differentiable from the more prevalent traditional flat screen displays used in most electronics devices. In the recent years there's has been a growing interest from numerous consumer electronics manufacturers to apply this display technology in e-readers, mobile phones and other consumer electronics. Flexible electronic paper (e-paper) based displays were the first flexible displays conceptualized and prototyped. Though this form of flexible displays has a long history and were attempted by many companies, it is only recently that this technology began to see commercial implementations slated for mass production to be used in consumer electronic devices. A flexible organic light emitting diode (FOLED) is a type of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) incorporating a flexible plastic substrate on which the electroluminescent organic semiconductor is deposited. This enables the device to be bent or rolled while still operating. 22. VIDEO CONFERING GLASS WALL The logic of glass wall in a room is to make communication easy and share the things more easily. A lot of bandwidth needed for glass for projection of image at real time . This can change the way we work !!! 23. H TO H EDUCATIONAL WALL THE classroom of future will be more interactive then today. There will be display not just on the head of the class but on every desk. Here the wall itself has become the interactive educational wall. The students will have their own tablet that is connected to the educational wall ,with every small footprint operating system that communicate with each other. 24. At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves beyond the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience It is a natural user interface Main Functions: Direct interaction. Multi-touch contact. Multi-user experience. Object recognition. CLASS COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITY TABLE Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary computer that responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects, creating unique new ways for people to collaboratively interact with digital content 25. Microsoft Surface computing uses sensing and display technology to infuse everyday surfaces with digital content and is comprised of the following unique attributes: Object recognitionDirect interaction Multi-touch Multi-user 26. The era of 3D TV is upon us. As movie studios, sports networks, and live concert venues realize the potential of 3D programming, more content is becoming available, driving consumer demand for sets. LCD technology is the dominant platform for 3D television, based on inherent advantages such as high brightness, fast response time, LED backlighting, and polarization control. These features make LCD more versatile for viewing 3D content with, or even without, special glasses. As the industry leader in LCD glass, Corning is ready for the 3D revolution. The dimensional stability and pristine surface quality of our large-size glass substrates enable higher resolution displays, and the thinness of our glass substrates enables the alignment of optical layers for better 3D images proving once more that at Corning, there is always more behind the glass. Corning Gorilla Glass an optical clarity that helps deliver on the promise of high-definition and 3D TV 3D TV DISPLAY GLASS 27. Research work is going on several top universities like MIT (Massachusetts Institute of technology) with a innovation named SIXTH SENSE. This is an application of surface computing. Research on building user defined gestures that are used in surface computing that make the graphical representation more intuitive R&D 28. 1.)What's great about all these ideas and technologies for consumer electronics glass is that they're all about to come to market over the next two years. They'll transform the shape, size, performance and functionality of everything we touch, and use in a new world where glass is smart, clear, weatherproof, self-cleaning and cheap! 2.)Surface takes existing technology and touch screen, but more of a touch-grab move-slide-resize and place objects on top of screen, and this opens up new possibilities that weren't there before.
