CORNING, N.Y., February 18, 2016 – Corning Incorporated (GLW) today announced the availability of Accessory Glass 2 by Corning®, its newest glass offering specifically designed for screen protector applications. The company also announced that New Vision Display is a licensed finisher of Corning`s latest screen protector innovation.
The companies will present the details of this glass solution and its impact on the screen protector market on Feb. 22 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
