Corning’s proprietary fusion process is uniquelysuited to creating thin glass of pristine surface quality

• We are far from the theoreticallimits of how thin the glass can go

– Supporting known and potentialdisplay applications

• Fusion offers potential to producethin glass at larger gen sizeswhile maintaining precise glassattributes

EAGLE XG ® glass was developed as a future-proofsubstrate with no added heavy metals

EnvironmentallyFriendly Composition

Antimony (Sb2O3)Arsenic (As2O3) Barium (BaO)No Heavy Metals Added

• Is alkali-free• Is colorant-free

– Low reflective loss – Good UV transmission

Same material advantages

• Offers pristine surfaceSame fusion manufacturing process

• Enables lower weight displays

• Delivers lower sag in customer process

Same low density advantage

• Enables higher resolutionSame low CTE advantage

That’s enough potentially hazardous materialto fill over 3,000 standard dump trucks

If all LCDs between 2009 and 2012 were made with EAGLE XG glasssubstrates instead of conventional LCD glass, display makers would avoid

using 19,000 metric tons of heavy metals.

EAGLE XG ® Slim substrates help reduce CO2emissions in glass manufacturing and transportation

Assuming a 2011 glass market size of about3.5 billion square feet:

Moving from 0.5 mm to 0.3 mminput glass reduces

of CO2

Moving from 0.7 mm to 0.5 mm inputglass reduces the amount of CO2 by

(equivalent to a small power plant)

For the LCD TV market in North

America this would represent about a

CO2 annual savings

Moving from 0.7 mm to 0.5 mmeliminates

Agenda




– Environmentally friendly – Customer benefits




• Thin LCD panels bring benefits to theLCD makers

– Enables devices that are more portable,stylish, and versatile

– Equate to fewer packaging materials andless transportation waste, which benefitthe environment

– Offers brand differentiation from

conventional products• Higher volume

• Higher price

The Future is Thin!End market pull for thin and light panels keeps growing




EAGLE XG ® Slim substrates help our customers producethinner TV modules and capture premium market opportunity

• As TV panel thickness decreases, glass percentage of panel thicknessincreases significantly

• When module thickness decreases to 3.9 mm, 0.5t glass can reduce themodule thickness by 10% compared to 0.7t glass

As end products go thinner and thinner, EAGLE XG Slim substrates providecost savings and environmental benefits by eliminating or reducing the

thinning process for portable applications




EAGLE XG ® Slim substrates offer superior attributesthat help meet industry needs

EAGLE XG Slim substrates:

• Offer superior resistance to surface damagecompared to thicker glass substrates and othercompositions

– Inherent to the composition of the glass

• Help reduce UV exposure time, which leads toUV lamp life time extension and cost reduction

– Thinner glass has higher UV transmission

• Help reduce visible mura and edge-light mura

– Improves the viewer experience




Summary

• EAGLE XG ® Slim glass substrates:

– Help manufacturers reduce their carbon footprints while saving oncosts by:

• Using an environmentally friendly glass composition

• Reducing or eliminating the thinning process• Reducing production and transportation energy

• Simplifying manufacturing processes

• Developing thinner and lighter devices

– Provide performance advantages for panel and set manufacturers

• Corning enables the industry to meet consumer demand forthinner, sleeker, high-functioning devices by leading the wayto larger and thinner glass substrates
