Gorilla Glass is a glass produced by the US company Corning, and is made of an alkaline-aluminosilicate material designed specifically to be thin, light and strong.
It is essentially manufactured to be used on portable electronic device screens such as cell phones, portable media players and laptop screens.
The peculiar characteristics of Gorilla Glass are the resistance to scratches and bumps, associated with a small thickness of the glass. Gorilla Glass is compatible with RF technology and allows for great optical clarity; this makes it suitable for high definition screens and 3D television.
Gorilla Glass is a tempered glass.
What makes Gorilla Glass special and differentiates it from other glasses is the fact that Corning has managed to spread the potassium deeply, thus creating a state of high compression of the glass throughout its thickness.
For this reason, Gorilla Glass is a very resistant glass and manages to avoid most of the damage that occurs during the daily use of portable devices. Furthermore, Gorilla Glass is recyclable.
Gorilla Glass is produced in Harrodsburg (Kentucky) in the United States and Shizuoka in Japan.
Over the years there have been improvements and several versions that have made Gorilla Glass even more valid
Gorilla Glass Victus was introduced in July 2020.
Corning claims to have twice the scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass 6. It was first used on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in 2020.
