Smartphone screens are getting more durable by the day thanks to the desire to protect the phones.
One of the world’s most durable smartphone glass is made by Corning and the glass will now be used in cars.
Corning has developed a version of its Gorilla Glass series that is going to be used by American automaker Ford as the windshield and rear window of the new Ford GT sports car.
According to Ford, the glass is more durable than the traditional glass used in automobiles and is also 30 percent lighter, which saves fuel and improves the car’s handling. The automotive version of the Gorilla Glass has multiple layers for added safety, but it’s half as thick as a traditional windshield.
Gorilla Glass has been used by the consumer electronics industry since 2007.
