Samsung Corning Precision Glass
Samsung Corning Precision Glass produces optimizing materials for the electronics industry.
Samsung Corning Precision Glass produces glass substrates that are a critical part of TFT-LCDs in Korea.
During the 1980s, Corning Inc. developed advanced fusion technology for making glass substrates used in TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display)panels. In 1995, Samsung and Corning Inc. established a jointly owned equity company by the name of Samsung Corning Precision Glass in Gumi, North Kyungsang Province. Then in 2002, the second plant was constructed in Asan, South Chungchong Province, positioning the company as Korea's largest TFT-LCD glass substrates provider.
Glass substrates provided by Samsung Corning Precision Glass are used to make TFT-LCDs, a popular display in the 21st century for lap top computers, LCD monitors, LCD TVs and other handheld devices like digital cameras, PDAs and navigators.
Now, Samsung Corning Precision Glass is going to reinforce competency in producing pristine LCD glass substrates, the digital [...]-edge material for high quality display products. In 2005, this company proclaimed a new vision, "Where Digital Starts", and proceeded towards becoming a digital display materials specialty company. This company is also implementing three core values of challenge, creativity, and innovation and six sigma into the company's very own morale.

This company produces glass substrates of the world's highest quality by using Corning's proprietary Fusion technology, which leaves the glass untouched by any material but air during its formation. Also alkaline-free, each glass substrate is designed to enhance the qualities of an LCD panel as well as maintain high resistance against chemical agents and heat.
Glass substrates for TFT-LCD panels require an ultra pristine surface quality and they have to withstand heat without being transformed. These are specifications that far exceed the level of requireents from ordinary glass, and such exceptional requirements require exceptional measures. Corning Inc. one of the parent companies of Samsung Corning Precision Glass, successfully developed an exceptionally superb way of producing a glass with advanced attributes and superior surface quality. Hence, the birth of fusion forming technology. Glass manufactured using fusion is a high-technology glass that is used as the foundation of leading-edge displays.
In the TFT-LCD market, thin, large-sized displays are in greater demand than ever before. Samsung Corning Precision Glass is devoting our manufacturing efforts to producing lighter, lower-density glass substrates with surfaces that are clean, ultra-flat, and dimensionally-stable.
