Gorilla® Glass is a type of ultra-strong glass manufactured by the Corning company. The glass is said to be very difficult to scratch, dent or break. Gorilla® Glass is described by Corning as "thin, light weight and durable."http://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/why_gorilla_glass.aspx Scientists have said that Gorilla® Glass is up to three times stronger than traditional soda-lime glass. The thinness of Gorilla® Glass makes it extremely lightweight.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/08/01/ap/tech/main6734387.shtml

Gorilla® Glass was created in the early 1960s, but it didn't become a multimillion dollar business for Corning until 2008, when it started appearing on cell phones and other mobile devices, including some netbooks. Currently Gorilla® Glass is used in Motorola's Droid smartphone and the LG X300 netbook.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/08/01/ap/tech/main6734387.shtml http://www.corning.com/specialtymaterials/news_center/news_releases/2010/2010031502.aspx Corning says Gorilla® Glass is also available in hand held devices made by LG, Meizu, Samsung and NEC.http://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/devices.aspx

In 2010, Gorilla® Glass was poised to become even more popular. Corning was reportedly in talks with major television manufacturers in Asia to begin supplying Gorilla® Glass for televisions beginning in 2011. Because of the glass's durability, it could be used in "frameless flat-screens."http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/08/01/ap/tech/main6734387.shtml In a July 2010 press release, Corning said it was increasing production of Gorilla® Glass in anticipation of deals that could bring the glass to some television sets within about a year. Adding Gorilla® Glass to televisions could increase the price as much as $60.http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/01/stab-proof-gorilla-glass-coming-to-tvs-near-you-in-2011/
