Corning Inc., the maker of glass used in devices made by Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., released flexible ultra-thin glass that it expects to see in consumer electronics by next year.
Corning sent out samples of the glass to makers of phones, tablets and televisions today. The glass, which can be wrapped around a device or structure, can be manufactured in a roll, similar to how newsprint is produced, and will support thinner displays, Corning Chief Financial Officer James Flaws said.
