During the 1980s,
Corning Inc. developed a technology known as the "overflow downdraw method " or "fusion method" for making glass substrates used inTFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display)panels. In 1995,Samsung andCorning Inc. established a jointly owned equity company by the name of Samsung Corning Precision Glass inGumi , North Kyungsang Province. In 2002, a second plant was constructed inAsan , South Chungchong Province, positioning the company as Korea's largest TFT-LCD glass substrates provider.Products : TFT-LCD Glass substrates
Glass substrates provided by Samsung Corning Precision Glass are used to make TFT-LCDs, a display for
lap top computer s, LCD monitors, LCD TVs and other handheld devices likedigital camera s,PDA s and navigators.Glass substrates for TFT-LCD panels require pristine surface quality and must withstand heat without being transformed. These requirements are not satisfied by ordinary glass. The overflow downdraw method employed by this company leaves the glass untouched by any material but air during its formation. The resulting glass substrates are alkaline-free and designed to maintain high resistance against chemical agents and heat.
