In our world today, there are so many ultras: ultra-sound, ultra-violet rays, ultra-power, etc. One of these ultras is coming to be very popular very soon. This is known as “Ultra-strong glass” and now named as Gorilla glass.This ultra-strong glass has shown some great promise since its inception in 1960, but failed to find a commercial application at that time. So, according to Yahoo News, it's been biding its time in a hilltop research lab for almost a half-century.
However, in 2008 it picked up its first customer and has quickly become a multi-million dollar a year business as a protective layer over the screens of 40 million-plus cell phones and other mobile devices.
Conrning Inc., the 159-year old glass pioneer is now raising high its Gorilla glass productions, expecting it to be the hot new face of touch-screen tablets and high-end TVs.
Since Gorilla glass is very hard to break, dent or scratch, the company is now very confident that it will be the glass of choice as TV-set manufacturers dispense with protective rims or bezels for their sets, in search of an elegant look.
