Corning Sees Growth in Display Tech, Telecom, Diesel Products
Corning Sees Growth Opportunities Continuing
Corning's growing portfolio of new business opportunities:
1. Display Technologies - 30% increase in total LCD glass demand in 2008
2. Diesel Products - New emissions regulations taking effect over the next several years in the United States, Europe and Japan should provide a significant longer-term market opportunity for our heavy-duty diesel particulate filter and substrate products; also expects this year to be one of substantial progress for Corning's light-duty (passenger vehicles) diesel business
3. Telecommunications - conversion to HDTV, increased subscription rates for high-speed Internet service and increasing entertainment options may all combine to dramatically increase fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the node penetration rates in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Aiello will also say that Corning's newest telecommunications innovation, ClearCurve, an ideal solution for providing optical fiber-based service to multi-dwelling units (MDUs). This bend-insensitive technology could provide Corning with revenue potential in the range of $90 to $200 per household.
4. Emerging Technologies - The company is currently prototyping a green laser in handheld devices for micro-projection; microreactor technology for specialty chemicals; carbon-based substrates to reduce mercury emissions for coal-fired power plants; and silicon-on-glass technology for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) applications. In addition, have developed an optical-quality glass that is highly scratch resistant and durable and retains its optical characteristics after extended use. This glass named Gorilla glass, is now commercially available and being used as a cover glass for several touch screen applications
