With consumers around the world discovering the benefits of liquid crystal display (LCD) TV, television viewing has entered a new era. Corning's glass substrates have played and continue to play a key role in this LCD revolution.
Today's consumers are increasingly choosing larger screens with higher resolution, and the superior performance of Corning's EAGLE XG™ glass substrates is helping to meet the demand. Corning's glass substrates help make the high resolution of LCDs possible through exceptional surface quality, dimensional stability, and flatness. In addition to sharp, clear pictures, LCD TVs offer improved brightness and contrast, reducing glare in brightly lit conditions. These benefits allow consumers to integrate televisions into any room in their home, including bedrooms, kitchens, and even bathrooms.
As high-definition television (HDTV) content becomes mainstream, due in part to the increased bandwidth enabled by Corning’s optical fiber cable systems, viewers are finding out how easy it is to enjoy a cinema-quality experience in the comfort of their own homes. HDTV and LCD complement each other, as they are both digital platforms with wide-screen capabilities. HDTV also takes advantage of LCD's multitude of pixels (the tiny squares that make up the picture), producing a sharper image.
Style, quality, and versatility are just a few of the advantages of LCD TVs. The future of LCD TV will be even more exciting as technology advances further improve set performance. As ideas become reality, Corning will continue to create innovative substrates that help make new technologies possible.
