Gorilla Glass maker Corning launches Astra Glass for tablets and TVs
July 08, 2025
Corningis currently attending Display Week in San Jose, CA. During the three-day event, the company is launching its newest product called Astra Glass, which will be geared towards high-performance tablets, notebooks, and televisions.
One of Corning’s star products isGorilla Glasswhich appears on many smartphones around the world. Thesixth iteration of Gorilla Glasswill continue to be the glass-of-choice for most 2019 flagships.
Astra Glass is designed for devices larger than smartphones. It’s precisely engineered to enable the higher pixel density of high-performance displays to come through. This will create brighter, faster, and more lifelike images on futuretablets, laptops, and 8K TVs.
Corning is positioning Astra Glass as its most-premium offering when it comes to larger displays. In other words, if in the future you find yourself eyeing a tablet with Astra Glass, that tablet will likely be pretty expensive.
Han Yim — business director at Corning — promises that Astra Glass will provide manufacturers with “low total pitch variation, low total thickness variation, and low sag,” when it comes to high-end displays.
With the recent launch of theOnePlus 7 Proand its top-of-the-line90Hz display, high-end display technologies could be the next big feature manufacturers focus on when releasing new products. Corning is likely trying to come out ahead of that trend with Astra.
