The eyes of a smart phone burned. Gorilla Glass: everything about the famous glass

What is Gorilla glass

Gorilla Glass can be translated as "gorilla glass". The name of the underlinger is the name of the mіtsnіst of the warehouse. It is hard to release by Corning - an American company with a 160-year history of development and innovation. Corning distributes and manufactures products for fiber optic transmission of data, medical, specialty materials with desired characteristics, key components for the development of solar batteries. The company writes to them, that all space officials are crushed by it.

One of the key directions in Corning's business is the choice of linings for monitors and televisions. The company expanded the first glass lining in the world more than two decades ago, and today Corning is the leader in the field of distribution and supply of glass linings of miracle quality for LCD monitors and televisions.

Benefits of Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass - the purpose of a thin warehouse with aluminosilicates, as the best rank to survive in the minds real life. In quiet situations, if others collapse or fail, Gorilla Glass takes the first look. Yogo miraculous warehouse allows you to take more chemical strength, even if it’s bulo іnshі warehouse.

The quality of Gorilla Glass is 3 times higher than that of the shorter grades of the traditional silicate glass. In addition, it can be more so-called "out of the box" so that after the ear is applied to the building of a larger world, it saves its mechanical strength.

Gorilla Glass may be more important. So, in the world of increasing comradeship, the yogo mentality increases linearly, and the deviations of the parameters in terms of the average value are already small. Zavdyaki tsyomu can accurately razrahuvat comrades' warehouse, as it is necessary for access to the outbuildings of the defense of the necessary equal. The high materiality of Gorilla Glass allows it to play the role of a load-bearing structural element. It becomes an indispensable element of outbuildings, the screen of some of them does not have a perfect frame, and the corisna of the working surface is as close as possible to the edges.

Gorilla Glass can be ideally equal to the transparency coefficient for light in the entire visible range. Tse means that the very same colors reach the eye and in quiet proportions, as if on the back of the head they are created under such a folded screen. It is necessary to show that not all glasses have such power. For whom, it is enough to marvel at the street in the window, and then let's see yoga. It is imperceptible to change in purity of color, freshness. Be it a man, it’s easy and absolutely accurate to mark retail. Tse vіdbuvaєsya itself through those that are traditionally trochic in a different way passing light different colors, Chim and see your presence.

Slo Gorilla Glass is an environmentally friendly product. There is a second reworking, both in the process of manufacturing with the removal of technical inputs, and in the warehouse of the finished product after the completion of the first operation. Gorilla Glass does not avenge important metals, and when exposed to it, it releases less toxic gases into the atmosphere, and less when exposed to plastic.

Devicting Gorilla Glass

The remaining rocks are more and more outbuildings filled with thin rice, equipped with a touch screen, which can serve as an hourly panel for cleaning. All smartphones, laptops, televisions, consumer electronics. It becomes obvious that a new design concept can be propagated. Slo Gorilla Glass is thinner - from 0.5 to 2 mm, which means it is lighter. It can be more springy and bend no faster than plastic.

Prototypes of a thick and thin fold appeared on the cob of the 1960s. These warehouses were split up for the automotive industry, and only a few other things hung before them. Quietly, Corning has perfected the technology of manufacturing, more patiently, if the material on the market with such power becomes demanded by purchases.

How to fight

The glass of Gorilla Glass is being manufactured at two of the company's factories in the USA and Japan. Leaves are vibrated on the cob with a size of 1250x900 mm. As it is extremely hard, it is necessary to use the smelting method of the standard components for such a process - silicon oxide (sand), vapne and soda. The stench is laying the foundation of any warehouse. In addition, they are added in small quantities of oxides of various metals. Warehouse for additives and to become the secret of the recipe.

At the final stage of brewing, you are ready to add chemical fermentation. It is placed in melted steel at a temperature of 400 degrees. As a result, potassium ions penetrate into the clots and replace smaller sodium ions. Such a substitution should be brought up to an internal stress between the balls of the rock.

Zagartuvannya sharply increases the strength of the slope and durability to the point. It has been stagnating for a long time and to other types of glass, Corning could achieve a deep gart, as a result of which great strength, not only the surface balls, but also the entire sheet in all depths, are swollen. At the end of the process, it was inclined to cut into the blanks of the required expansion: from the smartphone screen to the TV screen.

Gorilla Glass does not require sanding and additional processing - already coming off the conveyor, the sheets lay flat on the surface perfectly.

In some yoga pots you can practice

According to the estimates of the company itself, at the same time in the world there are 200 million outbuildings in thirty leading manufacturers that win Gorilla Glass.

Such an extension, like an Acer Iconia Tab W500 tablet, Nokia smartphones N9, N7, Desire, ACER laptops Aspire Ethos, Lenovo ThinkPad X1, Optimus, Sony TVs Bravia NX720, HX820 One of the mysteries is the power that Apple has in its Gorilla Glass phones and tablets. The company itself does not admit to anyone, and Corning slyly says: "Not all the representatives allow us to tell about them."

Insanely, the collapsible process of shaping promotes versatility. However, a small fee for more thorough work allows you to save the first look of your smartphone and laptop, save your mind from the opportunity to learn with intensive victories and save your pennies.

Ale at the same time with tsim - more tedious. Sporuditi z metal it is especially important to do it, the axis i go out, that practically all metal models are similar one to one in the back. The second on the right is a slope: smartphones, which have both front and back parts broken with Gorilla Glass or something like that, look very fresh and pretty. So, є sings of food to the supremacy of the material (all the same, it’s easier to put it where it’s easier, lower metal), and then it’s a payment for that very beauty and invisibility.

The first smartphone with a cursed case was released by Apple - a language about iPhone 4 from 2010 to rock.

Then there was a quiet calm, and the company itself from Cupertino switched to metal in offensive devices, until 2017, the glass models appeared in the lines of most virobniki. From this material, we took ten suitable smartphones in cases made of transparent material.

Model U20 is analog. The main difference between them is just in the material of the body: in the rest of the case, the language is about metal, and the axis in the Meizu U20 can be sklo. Apparatus dosit reproach for your price: yakіsniy Full HD screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, a 3260 mAh battery, to finish the MediaTek sprite chipset with an 8-core central processor.

Alternatives from the Meizu line: - the essence is the same, but more compact and three times cheaper.

(51,990 rubles, Gorilla Glass 3 and Gorilla Glass 5)


LG in this model was ahead of the curve, earlier it won the plastic (G, і), shkіrі () and metal (). It’s clear that the front part of the smartphone is covered with Gorilla Glass 3, and the back part is more modern Gorilla Glass 5. Well, it’s better that the G6 complies with the American MIL-STD-810G standard. Tse means that a smartphone can be dropped on a hard surface from a height of a meter, and the case will not shatter into thousands of fragments. I realized that it’s better not to experiment (for sin), and yet you can see the arrogance of this fact.

Alternatives from the LG line: Vіdsutnі.

(24,990 rubles, Gorilla Glass 3)


Might be one of the shortest smartphones in the middle class today. Behind - a double camera with the same quality as the flagship one, in front - a 5.2-inch screen with a separate building 1920 x 1080 pixels. All in all, the 8-core Kirin 950 platform is exhausted. Plus operational memory not 3 GB, how could it be used, but all 4. Zagalom, may be the flagship for the price of the middle class. And so, the blue version of Honor 8 is better than all others. Just remember.

Alternatives from the Huawei line: The same, for example. Simpler and cheaper. And the axis is the third model of this family, which is not glass, but metal. So marveling in її bіk koshtuє only in that vein, as if cursing the body is not principled for you.

(54,990 rubles, Gorilla Glass 5)


The most flagship flagship for today. For the new one, all possible and impossible options - we won’t overdo it, about them most detailed order It was told in the iv, dedicated to the announcement of the "highs". And so, the presence of the under-camera on the rear panel does not varto cover up: Galaxy S8 (like, vtim, and Galaxy S7) and with one lens, you can make the background on the pictures.

Alternatives from the Samsung line: Tezh sklyanі - i tsіlkom sobі actual. Moreover, the hulls are also made from the same material. And to make a stench is richly cheaper than “simok”. Zagalom, options for Samsung are a wagon and a small wagon.

(47,990 rubles, Gorilla Glass 5)


This device is similar to the presence of an additional screen, recognized for demonstrating additional information and service information (the idea in HTC was clearly considered). In another HTC U Ultra - like, vtim, and LG G6 - you can zarahuvat to the flagships of the previous generation: in these devices, there are not new ones, but three old ones (even though they are never better). Well, one more thing: there is a special version of HTC U Ultra, in which memory is increased from 64 to 128 GB, and Gorilla Glass 5 is replaced by sapphire glass. This version of the cost in Russia is 54,990 rubles.

Alternatives from the HTC line: Model . So, there is no other screen in it, and the characteristics are simpler, but it’s obviously cheaper. Proponuyuchi exactly the same design.

(19 990 rubles, warehouse not specified)


Behind smartphones in the worlds tse didok (announcement in the fierce 2016 rock), ale didok badorii. Why is it that today the official Xiaomi Mi 5 is only 19,990 rubles, selling for pennies and a cursed case, and still a very productive platform, a clear screen, and a bad camera. And yet, Xiaomi Mi 5 for some reason caught the fall of children's ailments, which are often seen in fresh models of a Chinese company. Zagalom, whole sobi option.

alternatives Xiaomi lines : The new flagship, which in Russia is not yet officially sold, and majestic, which is still before us. Rest, honestly, do not call curses - the back panel of the device is ceramic. Ale tactile looks the same, like a warehouse.

(Close to $400 on AliExpress, Gorilla Glass, unspecified generation)

Regardless of the name, the screen of the model does not bend, like Samsung smartphones Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S7 Edge, but the most flat. Chipset - Snapdragon 821, so nothing unusual, and the axis of the RAM is happy: as much as 6 GB. (On the other hand, this version is 4 GB, it won't be cheaper.) In general, the device is cicavia, but it's better to remember that ZUK - the Lenovo company - to carry only a model to us. And from all other attachments ZUK, including Edge, are not supplied to Russia.

Alternatives from the ZUK line: Same . Ale, everything is timchasovo, soon the ZUK brand.

(26 990 rubles, DragonTrail)


Receptionally visible AMOLED display and eyepieces virtual reality, What is included in the package. Worth not much more - the Snapdragon 652 chipset (a weak wine for such a price) and the presence of a fingerprint scanner. Otherwise, we repeat, the receiving apparatus is in its own way invisible. Why are there only JBL speakers that go both to the front and to the back. Zavdyaki tsomu a) the smartphone is more thick and b) in a new way you can move it by pressing it to the vuha, even in front, or in the back. And burn down with your feet.

Alcatel alternatives: Warto marvel at. Wine and more compact, and cheaper.

(Vid 649 USD, Gorilla Glass 4)


The Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL models have large glass inserts on the back panels, so you can’t tell right away which material prevails. Tsim aparati i tsikavi. That y vzagalі stinks richly chim tsіkavi: straight Android updates type Google, good cameras, long time ago work and so on. Minus, in fact, one. More precisely, two: the first one - the stench is not officially delivered to Russia, the other - the stench is not cheaply made. Much more expensive than the models of the Nexus family, they took away the popularity of the first for all at low prices.

Google line alternatives: Vіdsutnі. Single models in the line.

Bonus: (oh, what the hell, Gorilla Glass 5)


Sony was one of the pioneers cursed smartphones- finish guessing Xperia Z zrazka 2013 rock. However, at the singing moment, the company turned to plastic and metal. We will curse only flagship Xperia XZ Premium, which is hoped for in sales, and it was unreasonable for what price. Wіm, if you want to buy it, let's get to know each other: the device will become one of the first on the Snapdragon 835 platform and the other - with a 4K screen (the first, before speech, tezh Sony).

Alternatives from the Sony line: There are no current ones, but old models are allowed not to be refurbished.

Today's smartphone has long become bigger, lower communication and communication.

For business people, wine is a sign of status, for young people it is a multimedia center for marriage. A rich coristuvachіv want to apparat, the building vikonati be-like a zavdannya, and an important old-looking dean. It’s like it seems: “They’re chasing their clothes ...”.

we chose smart phones, Yakі otrimali unique design zavdyakova glass cover.

Respect! Dobrirka includes devices that were made before April 2016. Prices are also fresh.

Samsung Galaxy S7

The flagship is not only design, but also technical features. In first black, varto signified glass cover on the front and back panels. The virobnik itself calls yoga 3D, so it’s like the rounded Gorilla Glass 4 hasn’t stuck yet.

The flagship of certifications for the IP68 standard, it is not afraid of a saw, wood, plank, or zanurennya under water, even if you want to remain under a doubt.


The performance indicators of the flagship are already high and can compete with any representatives of the premium class. For different markets, smartphones with Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 processors, 4 GB of RAM are available, and memory is available in decal options: 32, 64 and 128 GB.

Price: from 50 000 rubles.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

At the time of the presentation, the smartphone is known to the best design solutions. This effect was ensured by the glass panels, which made the rounded shape. Also, they were presented with a unique color, like a folded look, just gorgeous.


The virobnik did not become dependent on the ideal design and equipped the device with top-end equipment. The pristry got an 8-core Exynos 7420 processor and 3 GB of RAM. The amount of memory used for performances in three options: 32, 64 and 128 GB. The main camera of 16 megapixels is equipped with an optical stabilizer, the battery capacity is 2600 mAh.

Variety: close to 45,000 rubles.

Irrespective of how much I know about design, let's add it to the vіn viyshov. All this is the result of a garniture of materials for the body - metal and steel. stop smartphone covering both the front and the back side. In this case, the screen is taken off evenly bevelled, and the back panel is covered with a curved bevel with a 2.5D effect.


Flagship 2016 rock e. Such a reputation was secured by the Snapdragon 820 processor and 3 GB LPDDR4. Together with the Adreno 530 graphic adapter, the smartphone turns into a blessed system, I’m ready until the end of the day. The amount of ROM can be 32 or 64 GB. 3000 mAh battery supports Quick Charge 3 technology.

Price: close to 30,000 rubles.

On both sides, the gadget is covered with a folded Gorilla Glass 3, and on the sides there is a metal frame, which ensures its safety in case of falls. Starry look outstanding and not seen by anything: the appearance of a glossy glass surface does not give a special charm, and the accessories are available only in white and black colors.


As far as productivity is concerned, everything is easy to finish here. Small amount of RAM (1 GB) and 8-core processor MediaTek MT6592 stable job and vikonannya standard functions. The device received a main camera of 8 megapixels and a battery with a capacity of 2050 mAh.

Price: about 13,000 rubles.

Yaskraviy is a representative of the budgetary class of outbuildings, which has become a familiar sight. The back panel will be refurbished warehouse And there are some special features: the logo of the company is on it, which is displayed in the process of charging or unlocking.


The phone runs on a 4-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. Tsgogo is sufficient for vikonannya schdennyh standard functions.

Another smartphone from Lenovo, and a bigger high class. In fact, it is a camera phone, the design of which is similar to digital cameras, for example, Sony T100. The case is covered with a folded Corning Gorilla Glass 3 from the frontal and tiled sides, which are missing parts framed by chrome-plated metal.


In terms of productivity, the gadget does not stand out from its competitors: the 8-core Snapdragon 615 processor and 3 GB of RAM provide a wide range of possibilities for victoria in any case. The memory is available in 32 GB, the main camera of 16 MP is represented by a 6-element sensor. The battery is invisible, 2900 mAh.

Vіn mіg bi will be left in zabutti, yakbi are not design features. First, the back panel is completely covered with slick Corning Gorilla Glass 2. In addition, the colors create an impression, nibbut slick deep blue sea. In a different way, the gadget of knowledge for the thinnest extension of 2015 rock - the body of the body is only 4.7 mm.


However technical characteristics bring the device to the budget class. The device has 1 GB of RAM and a 4-core processor. Small dimensions were built on the battery, the capacity of which was 1800 mAh.

Varity: about 12,000 rubles.

The body of the device is folded from two glass sandwich panels. With this glossy cover - not a single worry. I will build a housing for the IP68 standard and allow you to bury yoga on clay up to two meters with a stretch of 30 strands. The bichni faces are made of aluminium, and all the roses are covered with plugs.


System and features for the task manager include a 4-core Snapdragon 601 processor and 3 GB of RAM. Internal accumulator otrimav 16 GB. Unknown battery capacity 3100 mAh safe autonomous robot stretching dobi with active vikoristanny. Razdіlna building of the main camera - 21 MP.

Price: close to 40,000 rubles.

There is a lot of evidence that the device practically does not fit in front of the front of the P6 according to the design. It’s important to catch up, but sometimes it’s better. Ascend P7 otrimav dzhavblivyy zvnіshnіy vglyad vglyady zavdyaki zі sla Gorilla Glass 3 from both sides of the body. On the back panel there is a dotted baby, like a wink for the help of a 7-layer overlay.

Support for microSD cards, for the help of which you can expand the standard 16 GB of memory. The capacity of the battery was 2500 mAh, the sensor of the main camera could reach 13 megapixels and the backlight technology.

Varity: close to 20,000 rubles.

One more masterpiece of design art for damnation rear cover. However, the win is not just hardened glass, but sapphire. Until then, there may be little ones in the shape of the faces of an expensive stone and a uniquely beautiful zabarvlennya violet-blue color. Zovnishniy look is the main advantage of the smartphone.


The “stuffing” is supposed to be built for the middle class. It is equipped with the Snapdragon 615 chipset, which is combined with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of flash memory. Unknown battery capacity 2420 mAh. Main camera 13 megapixels supports video recording in Full HD-format.

Price: close to 25,000 rubles.

Today, more and more modern smartphones know about Gorilla Glass. But what do you know about the history of yoga and cooking technologies? Why is it so thin with such super-eminent authorities? Do you know what technology was first created in 1962? In these articles, we sing on cіkavі facts, that the history of the appearance and the very technology behind the displays, and, obviously, briefly look around, in which smartphones with the wicked Gorilla Glass are seen.

Gorilla glass

Today on the market there are widely presented smartphones with a hardened Gorilla Glass. Models of different virobniks may think that they are defenders. The history of the emergence of technology through the cicava. Previously, the material with the name Chemcor was broken up in 1962. Irrespective of those who are the product of their unique power, they did not know a practical stasis in the world. They guessed about something new in the 21st century. Irrespective of those who often put the idea of ​​installing a stand-alone smartphone on the back of their minds to Steve Jobs, the technology was first implemented on the Nokia N8 in 2008.


Today, smartphones with slick Gorilla Glass, as expected by the American corporation Corning, occupy close to 20% of the entire mobile phone market. Crimson-like zakhist is broadcast on tablets, laptops and on TVs.

History of problems

The problem of zahistu screen mobile phone has become the most relevant with the advent of smartphones. Until midnight, in rich models, they victoriously made a stone, even a road, a sapphire stone. In addition, a large mass of telephones of various form factors, the screen of which in a non-working state was closed, was brought to the market. But for devices with touch screens, the problem of saving a large working screen has become especially acute.

The first sensory devices were small resistive displays, which, for technological reasons, are to blame for their mother's fragility. During the preparation of such displays, plastic and slop were stuck. Such surfaces did not small zakhistu vіd podryapin, їх shkodity іg be a hostile object. As a result of the development of display generation technologies, new sensor matrices have appeared on the market. However, the stench just couldn’t fight the stinks on its own, the shards of the upper ball were just as hard, just with an electric conductor.


Appearance of Gorilla Glass

Іstotnі polypshennya in a situation with safe displays appeared only after that, as virobniks began to beat Gorilla Glass. Improved Chemcor technology made it possible to eliminate mіtsne and at once thin slos. This made it possible to secure the high sensitivity of the sensor matrix, not to twist the optical brightness of the screen, and more importantly - to protect the screen from small ears, podryapin and vodkoliv.

Slope Gorilla Glass is made from aluminosilicate. The Danish material strikes with a superbly high opirnistyu to mechanical failures (twist and strike). To achieve such qualities, the beginning of the singing technology of chemical processing of the material is carried out, with the replacement of sodium ions by potassium ions.


After the first Gorilla Glass phone appeared on the market in 2008, in 2012 Corning Corporation presented another generation zahisnoy skla Gorilla Glass 2

Efficiency protection Gorilla Glass

It is important to note that it is not possible for Gorilla Glass to be damaged or broken. Perebuvayuschie in the swarm or bag, in the presence of hospitable metal objects, the smartphone screen is not guilty of buti poshkodzheniya. Irrespective of the price, on various forums there is information about those that such a defender does not always appear effective, and I can add a screen to it, but it can be inconvenient. What is the reason for such a manifestation?

In order to understand the essence of the problem, it is necessary to guess a little so that it is understandable, like wisdom and firmness. For the determination of hardness, the Mohs scale is used. Hardness signifies the power of a particular material to support when it is introduced into a new body, as a rule, more solid. By simple washing - more solid building material is shabby, with a smaller indicator of hardness. For the determination of hardness, 0 reference minerals are used.


We harden the mineral ourselves, up to the Mohs scale, it is a diamond. Vіn can ruin everything, but the building's slope is simply rozrazati. Zahisne slo Gorilla Glass, vіdpovіdno to tsієї scale, maє hardness 6-6.5. For polishing - the hardness of the metal reaches a total of 5-5.5. Obviously, the higher the indicator of the material for the given scale, the stronger it is. Now you can understand why simple keys or scissors can't be used to clean up Gorilla Glass, even though the material prepared for such a stench is simply softer.

One more cіkava of power is mіtsnіst. It signifies the building of the material and repairs the opir to the ruinous swells. Zahisne sklo maє, like mіtsnіstyu, so i gnuchkіst. It helps to calmly vibrate vipadkovі blows when falling. However, if you put yourself behind the meta, it is still possible to defeat Gorilla Glass.

What varto be afraid of

Regardless of vіdminnі characteristics, Slo Gorilla Glass can be a bit sloppy. I need to become widely widened material - quartz. The name of the speech resembles the German Quarz, like it is translated, like “hard”. Quartz has a hardness over the Mohs scale of 7 units. It’s not worth talking about those who instructed your smartphone to show quartz piss, stench can damage your display, rattling your surface.


At the same time, it is clear that Gorilla Glass brewers are not up to the mark and show the market a new version of the glass. Already after the announcement of another generation, Gorilla Glass 3 was presented.

What do you need yakіsny smartphone, Not only in support of all current symptoms in terms of tightness and swidkod, ale and volodiya nadiy zahist Viewing the screen, it is recommended that you pay attention to the products of the British company Wileyfox.

Zahisnym element of the screen in today's smartphones is sloppy, as it came to be replaced with a plastic resistive touchscreen. Ale at the warehouse, on the aphids of transparent polymers, there is one suttevy nedolik: out of the cry. One small blow - and the screen is covered with a cobweb of cracks. In order to prevent such a result, the hardening of the warehouse is being actively expanded, which will lead to the advancement of the ministry. The largest known manufacturer is the American company Corning, famous for its Gorilla Glass brand.

Gorilla Glass - warehouse with special warehouse, chemical and physical processing. Її meta - modification of the structure of the material, for increasing the resistance to undercuts and impacts. Another yogo plus is a reduction in injury risk: fragments of a hardened warehouse do not have more than sharp edges. When the smartphone is broken, the risk of cracking the fold of the finger hits the finger, and the intensity decreases. The same stosuєtsya and the screen of the phone, vipadkovo rozhavleno in the gut.

The idea of ​​victorious chemical processing of the warehouse for the addition of mentality was born in the first half of the 20th century. This led to the discovery of a sodium-calcium layer, which promoted volatility. In 1959, Corning companies began testing various methods of chemical treatment of steel. So, from the victories of the luzhny z'ednan and aluminosilicate, Chemcor was created, which is victorious in aviation and motor transport. Ale, it didn’t have a wide width.

Everything changed in 2006, when Apple started building the first iPhone. The plastic of resistive touchscreens is easily erased and tattered, which was not befitting Jobs. Apple's leader turned to Corning's cursing and called for the revitalization of technology. At that hour, the company already independently tried to rebuild its success in this direction. Spivpratsya with Apple allowed to increase investment in retail. As a result, the first generation of Gorilla Glass appeared in the world.

For the preparation of Gorilla Glass, ion exchange technology is being developed. The classical silicate is not inclined to melt into the melting of potash salts, heating up to temperatures of about 400-500 degrees. Under the influence of weak sodium ions in the warehouse, the warehouse is replaced by more strong potassium ions, which increases the minerality of the virus. Let's strengthen the molecular bonds, like a safe chemical gart, the hardness of Gorilla Glass, according to the Moss scale, reaches 6 points (from 10, the hardness of steel is close to 5).

The thickness of the Gorilla Glass was folded close to 1 mm, with it, the thickness before impacts was up to 3 times more, lower at the sizable hardened fold. For 2007 rock (if the newest smartphones are 10 mm thick), the price is a normal display. And yet, without a hitch, the tovshchina of the building began to change, and the zayvogo millimeter became rich.

Gorilla Glass 2

In September 2012, the company introduced another generation of hardened Gorilla Glass. Until that moment, the distribution of Corning had already won in more than 200 million smartphones around the world. New version Gorilla Glass has become 20% thinner, with an increase in strength up to 4 times. Engineers have perfected the technique of scaling blanks with potassium ions, providing them with greater penetration. Tse allowed the ball to grow, nasich them, comrades.

Gorilla Glass 3

In order to increase the value of Gorilla Glass 3, released in September 2013, retailers have perfected the technology. Behind the announcements and tests of the virobnik, it will not be possible to see the great vanity, the lower sapphire glass. The Native Damage Resistance technology (naturally opir poshkodzhen) made it possible, with a lot of tovshchina, to increase the damage by 3 times (on aphids of another generation). The durability to the pins was increased by 40%, and the durability to the blows became 50% higher.

Gorilla Glass 4

In the new generation of skla, shown in the leaf fall of 2014, the zoom picker has changed the thickness by 2 times, having increased it to 0.4 mm. Other characteristics (mіtsnіst, stіykіst to blows i podryapin), at the same time, were left on the line of the front. Meta of the new warehouse - change of community mobile outbuildings without harming their zahistu. Behind the words of the creators, it is 2 times more mіtsnіsh, nіzh pokrittya, zroblenі on competing technologies.


Gorilla Glass Alternatives

Competing companies do not stand on the sidelines, and develop alternative screen coverings to promote the advancement of science. One of them is a sapphire stone, created by the synthesis of this mineral. Vono vіdrіznyаєtsya vysokoy stіykіstyu to podryapin (leave a trace of only a diamond and some synthetic speech), but more krihke, and also the road.

The Japanese company Asahi, which specializes in the distribution of new brands of warehouse, has also achieved success on this earth. In 2011, the company released Dragontrail, the most affordable alternative to Gorilla Glass. There is a little bit of a competitor in terms of the quality of the pitfalls, but I reverse the worst by 6 times. The low-price Dragontrail zavdyaks drink from Chinese pickers, such as Xiaomi, Lenovo, Meizu. Navit Sony to equip its flagships of the Z series.

In Germany, the company Schott is engaged in the development of a competitor for Gorilla Glass. The distribution of Xensation Cover also claims to be one of the most popular types of glass. Yogo presentation was made in 2012. The camp for 2016 is the most popular choice for the victorious Xensation Cover, є Chinese company Meizu. Slowly zastosovuєtsya in the new budget smartphones of the M3 series.
