Environmentally friendly glass substrate honored by
industry


    CORNING, N.Y. /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Corning
Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that its EAGLE
XG(TM) glass substrates have been honored with two major
industry awards: an Advanced Display of the Year (ADY)
award and the Display Component of the Year award from the
Society for Information Display (SID).  EAGLE XG is the
first LCD substrate to contain no added heavy metals such
as arsenic, antimony and barium.  It is also free of
halides, such as chlorine, fluorine and bromine, making it
the most environmentally friendly LCD glass on the market.

    The ADY contest recognizes excellent products in the
field of flat panel display.  EAGLE XG was the Grand Prize
winner in the Display Components and Materials category. 
The award presentation ceremony took place at FINETECH (the
world's largest trade show in the FPD industry), held in
Tokyo in April.

    The SID Display Component of the Year Award is granted
for a novel component that significantly enhances the
performance of a display, and EAGLE XG was the Gold Award
winner in that category.  The award will be presented at
SID Display Week 2007 on May 23 in Long Beach, California,
USA.

    "We are honored that Corning is receiving
recognition throughout the industry for our new glass,
which was developed to help our customers be prepared for
tightening environmental regulations," said James P.
Clappin, president of Corning Display Technologies. 
"Since its introduction in early 2006, EAGLE XG has
exceeded even our own high expectations, gaining rapid
acceptance worldwide."

    EAGLE XG(TM) offers the same high level of performance
as Corning's EAGLE2000(C) glass substrates, which won an
ADY award in 2001.  "In addition to meeting very tight
specifications for surface quality and attributes, EAGLE XG
sets a new industry standard as the most environmentally
friendly TFT-LCD substrate available anywhere," said
Clappin.
