Laptop or tablet screens suffer from poor visibility and eye strain due to severe reflections under bright sunlight or lighting.

Applying conventional matte screen protectors reduces reflections but degrades screen clarity and touch sensitivity, and weakens surface hardness, making them vulnerable to scratches. While chemically treated anti-glare glass existed, it was difficult to satisfy both scratch resistance and optical performance.

Gorilla Matte Pro is an innovative solution that maintains the inherent scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass while applying a matte surface treatment to the glass itself.

By creating a micro-texture on the glass surface without separate films or coatings, diffuse reflection is significantly reduced, resulting in improved readability of screen content outdoors or under bright lighting. At the same time, it is as hard as regular Gorilla Glass, making it resistant to scratches and impacts, and eliminating coating peeling issues. In other words, it achieves a perfect balance of durability and visibility, differentiating itself from competing products by suppressing glare without degrading image quality.

Electronic device manufacturers (B2B) are the primary customers, and this technology can be adopted for displays in laptops, tablets, monitors, etc. Consumers indirectly benefit through finished products.

In particular, premium laptop/tablet manufacturers are highly likely to adopt it as a differentiating factor.

It will be used in the global market without specific regional restrictions.

In addition to laptops and monitors, it can also be applied to automotive displays (internal dashboards, etc.), creating room for collaboration with the automotive industry[18][19]. Furthermore, it has significant market potential as it can be applied to all transparent covers where glare is an issue, such as smartphones or AR glasses. Considering the strong brand power and distribution network of existing Gorilla Glass, rapid commercialization is also expected.

It has re-proven its technology leadership with the Innovation Award, receiving favorable reviews such as "It has captured both durability and visibility"[20]. It is expected to increase consumer demand as a solution that enhances screen usability in bright outdoor environments.

Some have questioned, "Aren't there already similar coatings?", but Corning has made fundamental improvements at the material level and has been perceived as a truly useful innovation rather than an overhyped one. However, the extent of the increase in manufacturing costs and how quickly OEMs will adopt it are key points to watch in the future.
