Dr Millicent Ruffin is from Corning and she started by covering some of the issues covered by Corning earlier – we could have done without the duplication. Most of what she said was just an advert for Corning, but I guess that’s what you get from a big sponsor!
However, she then got onto talking about the glass that Corning supplies for flexible OLEDs. The company’s glass is said to be more accurate in thickness than competitive materials. It is available in thicknesses from 0.4mm to 2mm. Corning believes that glass can make a good cover glass for flexible OLEDs.
Ruffin then moved on to the advantages of glass for lightguides, especially with QD (See Will QDOG Have its Day?). 8K resolution is a trend and the better transistors needed helps the company by raising the quality of the surface needed to make the transistors on.
Finally, Ruffin looked at AR headsets which need waveguides and Corning has a high index glass with surface relief gratings for use as waveguides in glasses. The firm can supply a range of different glasses for this application.
