Chowdhury division vice president and technology executive corning technology center korea. Corning incorporated nyse glw is supplying customers with samples of corning willow glass an advanced glass technology that promises to influence the shape and form of next generation consumer electronic devices while emerging as the barrier layer material of choice for several market segments.

Reduce our carbon footprint secure stable long term pricing for electricity and be able to re roof the facility said watson. Most notably the solar panel industry. Roll to roll processable flexible willow glass is a uniquely tailored substrate for printed perovskite based photovoltaic panels because of thermo mechanical stability optical clarity surface quality and excellent barrier property said dr. The us government s national renewable energy laboratory has built flexible solar cells out of corning s willow glass.

These new solar cells are strong enough that they could eventually replace. Households a year while significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Today s solar panels require efficiency and long life. Corning willow glass greatly expands the process window for manufacturing high performance perovskite solar modules using high speed.

Starting from the creation of a glass encasement for thomas edison s light bulb corning has a long legacy of scientific advancements.
