I just returned from the SID 2019 DisplayWeek. According to the conference organizer, there were more than 7500 attendees this year, which is a record high in SID’s history.

The Monday seminar at the DisplayWeek attracted record high attendees as well. (See my blog a couple days ago).

On Tuesday morning, Corning hosted a press event and announced its new glass—Astra glass.

Mr. Han Yim, Business Director at Corning first introduced Corning’s history and then he introduced the Astra glass, “Astra Glass meets the precise, high-temperature requirements of oxide processing and joins our portfolio of display substrates, alongside EAGLE XG® Glass and Lotus™ NXT Glass, to cover the entire spectrum of our customers’ needs.”

Touch Display Research visited Corning’s booth and interviewed Mr. Yim about Astra glass. We also interviewed Corning about Quantum Dot on Glass. Detail analysis can be found in the Touch and Emerging Display monthly report.
