Corning announced a couple of new lens protective glass
composites dubbed Gorilla Glass DX and DX+. These are technically not new as
they have been covering smartwatch displays since 2018 but the transition to
camera lenses required plenty of tweaking to durability and light
transmittance. Corning states that its Gorilla Glass with DX and DX+ offers
advanced optical performance, superior scratch resistance and durability
compared to regular smartphone lens covers.
The enhanced optical clarity is said to let in more light
(up to 98% of ambient light according to Corning) pass through lenses to reach
the camera sensor. DX and DX+ also offer less reflection and glare which
combined with improved clarity should result in better-looking photos. Corning
has not disclosed which smartphones will use its new Gorilla Glass substrates
but did reveal that Samsung will be the first company to use the new tech in its
devices.
