Initially, notebook computers revolutionized the business world, allowing people to work seamlessly at their offices, in airports, at home, or even at the corner coffee shop. This flexibility and freedom would not have been possible without high-quality liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Today, notebook computers are equally popular in the home environment. Increased computing power and functionality, along with growing wireless connectivity and greater affordability, make notebooks an attractive alternative to desktops.
Today's notebook computers require an exceptionally lightweight substrate, such as Corning’s EAGLE XG™ glass, to help manufacturers minimize the size and weight of the devices while maximizing their durability.
Whether a notebook computer is an ultra-portable model, a desktop replacement, or somewhere in between, Corning’s LCD glass substrates continue to aid manufacturers in developing lighter models with high-resolution performance features.
