CORNING Willow Glass, developed by Corning Incorporated, is a revolutionary ultra-thin flexible glass with a thickness of just 0.1 mm (paper-like lightness). It combines the inherent advantages of glass—high optical clarity, high-temperature resistancey surface hardness—with exceptional flexibility, enabling it to bend, curve, or conform to folded designs without sacrificing scratch resistance or durability. Ideal for flexible displays, wearable tech, curved lighting, and solar cells, it serves as a critical material for next-generation electronics and renewable energy innovations.
Ultra-Thin and Lightweight Design:Willow Glass is exceptionally thin, with a thickness of 100 micrometers (comparable to standard paper), enabling lightweight and slim device designs. This makes it ideal for next-generation portable electronics and flexible displays
High Flexibility and Bendability:The glass exhibits remarkable flexibility, allowing it to be bent into curved or circular shapes without compromising structural integrity. This property paves the way for foldable smartphones, wearable screens, and unconventional device form factors.
Durability with Scratch Resistance:Despite its thinness, Willow Glass maintains the inherent hardness and scratch-resistant properties of glass, offering protection for sensitive components like displays while remaining adaptable to bending.
Cost-Effective Manufacturing Potential:Corning highlights that Willow Glass can streamline production processes for flexible electronics by reducing material usage and enabling roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques, which may lower overall costs for high-performance devices.
Versatile Applications in Emerging Technologies:Beyond consumer electronics, Willow Glass is suitable for advanced applications such as flexible solar cells and energy-efficient lighting systems, showcasing its adaptability to diverse industries.
