CORNING LOTUSGLASS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE DISPLAYS
Corning LotusGlass is a new display glass that helps fulfill the promise of todays cutting-edge
technologies by providing a stable and reliable platform from start to finish.
Corning Lotus Glass is formulated to perform exceptionally well in low temperature poly-silicon
(LTPS) and oxide thin film transistor (TFT) backplane manufacturing environments. Its tough
enough to withstand demanding manufacturing processes, while delivering the pristine surface
quality customers require.
The intrinsic thermal consistency of Corning Lotus Glass allows it to retain its shape and quality
during high-temperature processing. Decreased compaction and variation during the
crystallization and activation step further reduces stress and distortions to the substrate.
Corning Lotus Glass also offers the advantages of Cornings proprietary fusion process while
meeting the stringent cost requirements of the mobile device and IT display market. Its superb
surface quality supports the backplane characteristics required for the vibrant colors and clarity
OLED and LCD transmissions are known for.

CHEMICAL DURABILITY
Durability is measured via weight loss per surface area after immersion. Values are highly
dependent upon actual testing conditions. Unless otherwise noted, concentrations refer to weight
percent.
