As you know, glass displays, the iPhone and iPad manufactured by Corning. That it produces heavy-duty coated Gorilla Glass . However, the fact that Corning presented today can literally make a revolution in design communicators.

At the weekly exhibition of Society for Information Display in Boston, the company introduced a new development, known as Willow Glass. In the name of wonder appears the word "Willow» («Willow»), because a new generation of glass is not only an ultra, but also highly flexible. Glass can literally "wrapped" around the unit or structure. Of course, it works with touch sensors.

Glass thickness is 100 microns, or about a piece of paper. In addition to mobile devices, this technology can be useful for the manufacture of flexible solar panels. According to some reports, supplies Willow Glass individual clients have already begun, but the mass production of the product is expected to close by year end.
