Dropping your smartphone when taking a selfie(自拍照)could soon be less risky,says specialty glass maker Corning.For more than 160 years,Corning has applied its unique technology in specialty glass to develop products that have created new industries and changed people's lives.Corning's work in specialty glass dates back to 1879, when the company produced the glass used in the famous Thomas Edison lightbulb(灯泡).
The company's next generation of Gorilla Glass has come along-the material used in more than 70% of smartphone screens,including on Samsung and Apple products.Corning said Gorilla Glass 5 could survive more than 80% of drops from as high as 1.6 meters.
Broken or cracked screens are the number one cause of smartphone repairs and customer complaints globally, followed by overheat.The new glass was tested on rough surfaces-phone models were dropped from a height of 1.6 meters onto a sheet of sandpaper.Some of the phones tested survived over 20 hard drops in the lab.Typically,most phone drops are from between waist and shoulder height.As well as drops,the company said it was twice as good at resisting scratch(划痕)and other damage compared to what's currently on the market.
Smartphone producers are expected to market products with the new glass within the next few months."We've been working with our closest customers for quite some time now," Corning's vice president and general manager John Bayne said."And there's huge interest in this product for obvious reasons."
