Corning has announced the availability of 'Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass', a new extension to its portfolio of cover glass features.

With Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass, device manufacturers can now expand their options for device design by adding multi-color, high resolution, photo-quality images to the industry’s leading cover glass solution, Corning Gorilla Glass.

“Device manufacturers today are looking for new ways to differentiate their products, without compromising important features such as durability and clarity,” said Scott Forester, director, Gorilla Glass Innovations. “Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass provides a new opportunity for customized decoration and commercial branding and is one of several valuable product enhancements that leverage Corning’s core capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

Using Corning’s proprietary process, ink and equipment, Corning prints a colorful, customized design for smartphones, tablets or notebooks on Corning Gorilla Glass, including gradient colors and logos, photo-quality images and multi-color decorations. Unlike traditional screen printing technologies, Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass provides outstanding resolution and sharpness, requires shorter processing times, and produces less waste.

Gorilla Glass is manufactured using Corning’s proprietary fusion draw process. Since its launch in 2007, Corning Gorilla Glass has been used on 4.5 billion devices worldwide, on more than 1,550 product models across 40 major brands.

Product sampling and shipment for Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass are under way with Corning’s global customers.

So how do you see your screen if it has an image printed on it? Curious

Your screen isn't the only surface of the phone. There's still the surrounding and the back.

I already said Apple will be having solar-capable phones. They will embed photo-reactive prints into the glass that convert light to electrical energy. This extends battery life.

I can see why Apple is really headed into glass iPhone now. This is what was hiding from us.

A glass phone has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. One drop and the thing chips or cracks. To prevent that we put a case around it. So then what's the point of a glass phone with a printable image on it?
