persbericht luid:
CORNING, N.Y., January 16, 2005
– Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today the world’s first commercially available thin film transistor (TFT) grade Generation (Gen) 7 glass substrates for active matrix liquid crystal displays (LCD). TFT-grade substrates are ultra-clean, flat, stable, light, and thin glass sheets that meet the exacting quality requirements for the manufacture of notebook computers, LCD TVs, and portable displays. Corning’s proprietary fusion technology has enabled first-to-market performance with new generation size TFT-grade substrates, including Gen 5 in 2002 and Gen 6 in 2003.
The Gen 7 substrates are being produced in commercial quantities by Samsung Corning Precision Glass Co. Ltd., jointly owned by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Corning, at its Cheonan, Korea facility.
Large size glass substrates, such as Gen 5.5, 6 and 7 substrates, will be increasingly used as the foundation of LCD television display-panels, as they enable panel manufacturers to produce more and larger displays from a single glass substrate. Gen 7 glass substrates measure 1870 x 2200 mm (approximately 6 feet by 7 feet) and have nearly three times the surface area of Gen 5 substrates, which typically measure 1100 x 1250-1300 mm (approximately 3.5 feet by 4 feet).

Blijft over dat de TFT's weer groter gemaakt kunnen worden. Dat is mooi, dan kunnen alle mensen van wie het dure plasmascherm gestolen is (schijnen erg in trek te zijn bij dieven) een energiezuinig scherm kopen en zitten alle helers met een energieslurper opgescheept.
