Lifestyle Desk: Currently, Gorilla Glass is used in almost everything including smartphones, smart TVs, laptops. Many of us know that this Gorilla Glass is used for the protection of modern smart electronic gadgets with touch sensors. But do you know what is the difference between Gorilla Glass and other common glass? Let's find out-

Gorilla-glass

1. Gorilla Glass is a special type of glass manufactured by Corning Inc. It is especially used to protect the screen of smart devices like laptops, monitors, smartphones, TVs etc.

2. Around 1952, a scientist at the Corning Company developed a special type of glass that was the strongest glass of its time. It was much thinner than aluminum, much stronger than ordinary glass, and as tough as steel. This was the birth of Gorilla Glass. Today's Gorilla Glass is very different. It has undergone many changes and is much more powerful than before.

3. The first generation Corning Gorilla Glass was introduced in 2008, followed by several technological improvements in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The fifth (5th) generation of Gorilla Glass has been launched since July 2016.


Now let's find out, how does Gorilla Glass work?

The new type of glass developed by the Corning company is actually called 'aluminosilicate'. Like any ordinary glass it is also made from the basic material sand. Additionally, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen are used in this glass.

After the required model of the glass is made, it is released into a molten salt mixture at a temperature of more than 400 degrees Celsius. Then various chemical reactions make Gorilla Glass stronger and more flexible than other glasses.

Simple aluminosilicate can easily serve as a screen protector for your smartphone, but it will never be as strong, scratch-proof, or flexible as Gorilla Glass.

Corning, the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass, claims that Gorilla Glass is recyclable and is not harmful to the environment. So recently, the trend of using Gorilla Glass to protect the touch screen of smartphones, smart TVs, laptops etc. from various minor injuries and accidents has increased a lot.
