Corning has just announced the next generation of its Gorilla Glass named the Gorilla Glass 2. Not only is the new glass much harder but it is thinner and is significantly more scratch resistant than the previous iteration.
Corning will officially unveil the new glass at CES next week, along with a 82-inch multitouch LCD display using the glass. While we are not sure when we will begin to see devices ship with the glass but we can imagine it will become the go-to sturdy glass for manufacturers going forward. Gorilla Glass is currently found in almost 600 different products today and is protecting more than 500 million products worldwide.
According to Corning, the Gorilla Glass 2 will be harder than any other glass.
Technology is advancing slightly slower than the minds at Corning would have it, it seems, as the creators of Gorilla Glass present a second video in a series that brings the future to us now, glass based. The video moves from one technology to the next, starting with Handheld Display Glass, this essentially stemming off what Gorilla Glass already presents, it being thin and lightweight, damage resistant and what Corning plans for the future: 3D-projection ready! The loveliness then continues through an impressive display of lights and magic through a future we can only dream of.

Corning, the Maker of the Great Gorilla Glass, has just proved that the glass can be so flexible to be able to bend it 360-Degree with its New Willow Glass, a type of glass made using 100-micron technology as the successor of the Gorilla Glass.
This type of glass could be used for LCD and OLED displays, and the biggest advantage it brings is reduced weight and thickness of the actual device. Now, what's also remarkable is that even at the razor thin 100-microns, the Willow Glass still retains the toughness and resistance to scratches of the familiar Gorilla Glass.
The immediate use will be in smartphones, but the glass could end up in all sorts of different products solar cells and lighting units. There's a video below which is just as beautiful as the product itself, showing how Corning rolls Gorilla Glass.
