GORILLA GLASS

Is it gorilla glass ?

Gorilla glass is a brand of a manufacturer of the protective glass named Corning , compared to some other screen protector products Gorilla glass has several advantages such as: Gorilla glass has a hardness level that can be said to be almost comparable to sapphire , with the scale of 9 on the Mohs hardness scale , screen guard on the regular models usually have only just approaching the level of violence that the number 7 , but the Gorilla glass can penetrate up to number 9 . Higher the level of violence in a layer of protective screen , the better to protect the screen , especially for protect the screen against scratches

How do gorilla glass was made ? 
Gorilla Glass is made of alkali aluminosilicate thin sheet . Gorilla Glass reinforced using an ion exchange process that forces large ions into the space between the molecules on the surface of the glass . In particular , the glass is placed at a temperature of 400 ° C in a liquid potassium , potassium ions are forced to replace the existing sodium ions in the glass . The potassium ions then will take more space between other atoms in the glass . When the glass cools , the atoms are close to each other and then coincide which will then generate a high level of violence in the glass that helps protect the surface from mechanical damage .

The discovery of " Gorilla Glass "

Actually, it was not gorilla glass technology is a new thing , this is actually the beginning of the technology developed for racing cars when it requires a thin layer of glass , lightweight , and resistant to friction , then the gorilla glas even this technology to be applied at the time Steve Jobs, who was looking for an iPhone screen coating materials Corning CEO contacted her to make a glass protector for the touch screen , which until now was used extensively on some devices .

Another advantage of Gorilla Glass , which is easy to clean material . For example, to fingerprints , oil or dust , and without leaving scratches . Gorilla Glass also claimed environmentally friendly , because it is not made ​​of a heavy metal that can harm the environment . Gorilla Glass also can deliver the type of display screen and sharp , making it ideal for HD ( High Definition ) and 3D ( three dimension ) . With some of the capabilities of Gorilla Glass , it could be the use of electronic devices Gorilla Glass can sail more freely . Without getting too worried about anything happening on the screen . For producers also easier in designing electronic devices . But that does not mean unbreakable Gorilla Glass . If treated rough with strong object then can be broken . So Gorilla Glass is more likely to give a sense of security in everyday use . Corning Gorilla Glass has been used by more than 20 leading brands , hundreds of kinds of electronic devices with more than 200 million type .
