Creating richer entertainment experiences through display glass innovation

Corning helped create the LCD glass industry by inventing a process for making thin, flat glass with exceptional stability and unparalleled surface quality. Today, we are leveraging our expertise and assets to drive the next round of display innovations – better images, ubiquitous touch, larger screen sizes, flexible displays, and new form factors.

A Clear Leader, Gaining Momentum in New Categories

We are the global leader in display. Our priority is to deliver stable returns and win in new display categories, and we have made significant progress to date.

Corning is the lowest-cost manufacturer in the display industry, and we have been first to market with all glass generations, up to and including the recent Gen 10.5. We set the standard for quality, leading in attributes such as size, thinness, and total pitch variation. These attributes support the increased demand for larger, higher resolution, and overall better displays. The display glass market is expected to continue to grow, driven by demand for large-size TVs and new applications. With 60-inch and larger screens expected to account for most of the display glass market growth through 2022, we are well-positioned to supply this growth and meet the increased technical requirements.

Pricing Environment Becoming More Favorable

Corning is leveraging its competitive advantages to stabilize returns. We now expect annual price declines to improve further in 2019 to a low- to mid-single digit percentage. This is an important milestone toward the goal of continuing to moderate price declines and maintaining stable returns in Display. Our quarterly investor calls provide more details about the factors driving our view of a more favorable pricing environment.
