Corning’s Gorilla Matte Pro was recognized in the Computer Peripherals & Accessories category at CES 2026, underscoring the company’s leadership in cover-glass surface treatments. First implemented on Acer’s Swift Edge 14 AI laptop, the treatment combines Corning’s anti-reflective and anti-glare technologies with the toughness of Gorilla Glass to reduce reflected light by up to 75% versus standard cover glass. This enhancement boosts contrast and color accuracy on high-resolution displays under bright lighting, delivering a 30% improvement in image sharpness according to internal lab tests.

In the In-Vehicle Entertainment category, Corning’s SurfaceIQ™ advanced anti-reflective surface treatment earned acclaim for its impact on automotive displays. Tailored for smart-vehicle dashboards, SurfaceIQ™ cuts reflections by 60% compared to untreated glass and increases display contrast ratio by up to 40%, improving readability for drivers and passengers. The treatment also minimizes color shift across viewing angles, addressing a key OEM requirement as automakers seek to differentiate cabin design with sleek, high-clarity screens.

These awards highlight Corning’s materials-science expertise across consumer electronics and automotive markets, supporting revenue diversification beyond its core display and optical communications segments. The Gorilla Matte Pro launch on multiple PC OEMs and upcoming automotive programs for SurfaceIQ™ are expected to contribute to segment revenue growth of 5–7% annually over the next three years. Investors should note Corning’s strategic investments in RD&E—accounting for over 6% of annual sales—and its 175-year track record of commercializing glass innovations, positioning the company for sustained margin expansion as adoption of advanced surface treatments accelerates.
