What is Corning Gorilla Glass 5 ? Features & Making process of Gorilla Glass 5



Corning, the popular glassmaker for mobile devices, corning manufactured Gorilla Glass specialized in toughened glass. Corning gorilla glass is chemically treated to make it hard and strong enough to bear intense drops. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is now in fifth generation.

Available on different OEM  (original equipment manufacturer ) devices including Samsung, Apple HTC, Lenovo, LG, HP, Asus, Xiaomi etc later this year.

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is using Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which launch announce August 2016.

Upcoming models like Apple iPhone 7 are more likely to Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

 CEO of corning is Mr. John Bayne

 Features of Corning Gorilla Glass 5

-          Drop test from 1.6 meter compared to 1 meters of Corning Gorilla Glass 4

-          Company says the new glass can survive up to 80%

-          Survive on rough Surfaces

-          company is keeping Corning Gorilla Glass versions 3 and 4 available to manufacturers at a lowered price point, but will likely start to wind down the former in the near future

-          shipments currently amount to around one billion devices per year

-          Corning has remarkable achievement of making smartphone glass




Making process

 1-   Fusion process 

-          This extraordinarily complete, highly automated

-          sheet cover glass with pristine surface quality

-          liquefied glass is fed into a holder called an “isopipe,” overfilling until the glass flows evenly over both sides

-          glass is untouched by human hands or anything else



                             
2-   Ion exchange process 


-          Ion exchange is a chemical treated process where large ions are “stuffed” into the glass surface, creating a state of compression

-          The glass is placed in a hot bath of liquid salt at a temperature of approximately 400 degrees C

-          Smaller sodium ions leave the glass, and larger potassium ions from the salt bath replace them

-          Gorilla Glass’ composition enables the potassium ions to diffuse far into the surface, creating high compressive stress deep into the glass.

-          This layer of compression creates the surface that is more resistant to damage

What is Iris Scanner technology? List of some Iris Scanner Smartphones


Iris recognition is the best kind of authentication process available today. Iris recognition is a method of identifying people based on unique patterns within the ring-shaped region surrounding the pupil of the eye. The iris usually has a brown, blue, gray, or greenish color, with complex patterns that are visible upon close inspection. Because it makes use of a biological characteristic, iris recognition is considered a form of biometric verification.

The iris is the colored ring of muscle that opens and shuts the pupil of the eye like a camera shutter. The colored pattern of our irises is determined genetically when we're in the womb but not fully formed until we're aged about two. It comes from a pigment called melanin—more melanin gives you browner eyes and less produces bluer eyes. Although we talk about people having "blue eyes," "green eyes," "brown eyes," or whatever, in reality the color and pattern of people's eyes is extremely complex and completely unique: the patterns of one person's two eyes are quite different from each other and even genetically identical twins have different iris patterns.


The iris is a visible but protected structure, and it does not usually change over time, making it ideal for biometric identification. Most of the time, people's eyes also remain unchanged after eye surgery, and blind people can use iris scanners as long as their eyes have irises. Eyeglasses and contact lenses typically do not interfere or cause inaccurate readings



John Daugman developed and patented the first in 1994. Works with Flom and Safir to develop the algorithms that can turn photographs of irises into unique numeric codes



List of some Country who deployed Applications:-

1-         United Arab Emirates IrisGuard's Homeland Security Border Control has been operating an expellee tracking system in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) since 2001,

2-         Aadhaar began operation in 2011 in India, whose government is enrolling the iris patterns (and other biometrics) of all 1.2 billion citizens for the Aadhaar scheme for entitlements distribution, run by the Unique Identification Authority of India
