This is something this company called Corning is trying to push. Their latest Gorilla Glass promise to go over the edge, being more durable, stronger than others, which will provide youi ‘scratch resistance’ and ‘near unbreakable’ screen.

With this Gorilla Glass, manufacturers don’t need the usual plastic bezels anymore, which will save cost by a lot actually. But how much does that fare to the additional $60 required to fit the Gorilla Glass panel, is really unknown actually. But I do know that I don’t need these actually, as I never go and scratch my screen, and will never throw anything to my monitor actually. Luckily I also don’t have a Wiimote at home, but surely many others will appreciate it.

The company will invest approximately $800 million to construct a new LCD glass substrate facility in the People’s Republic of China. With the support of the Beijing municipal government, Corning will locate the new facility in the Beijing Digital TV Industry Park within the Beijing Economic Technological Development Area. The manufacturing plant will have up to Generation 8.5 glass-melting and finishing capabilities. Groundbreaking is planned for September of this year, with production slated to begin in the first half of 2012.
