Introduction to Jade™ Glass for Advanced Display
Corning has developed Jade™ glass to meet the demands of the portable device market, which requires multifunctional mobile handsets with enhanced features, higher resolution, and reduced power consumption. This glass is specifically optimized for low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) applications, providing a previously unavailable solution.

Advanced Glass Attributes
Jade™ glass enhances LTPS technology by offering better electron mobility and a higher aperture ratio, resulting in brighter displays and lower energy use. Key attributes include:

• Superior Surface Quality: Jade™ is a fusion-formed glass with a flat, pristine surface, exceptional quality, and dimensional control, eliminating the need for additional heat treatment or polishing.
• Thermal Stability: The glass's inherent thermal stability supports the high-temperature processes required by LTPS.

These features allow for reduced design rules, enabling more components to be integrated directly onto the glass, leading to smaller, brighter, and multifunctional portable devices.

R&D Breakthrough
Corning's deep understanding of customer processes led to the development of Jade™, eliminating the need for a post-forming heat treatment step.

The Future of LTPS and Beyond
Jade™ glass supports LTPS processes for TFT-LCD panel makers and emerging display technologies like OLEDs. It provides a robust foundation for OLEDs, especially when used with Corning’s Vita™ hermetic sealing solution. Jade™ is also ideal for system on glass applications, allowing electronic components to be integrated directly onto the glass.

Consumer Benefits
LTPS technology enables the creation of thinner portable devices with more functions, longer battery life, and improved brightness and speed, enhancing the viewing experience for consumers using mobile devices for activities like watching TV and surfing the web.
