HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

Corning’s collaborations include a transparent, dual-sided MicroLED display developed with AUO, which utilizes optically advanced display glass. This technology is being explored for transportation applications. Another partnership with Innolux features a display using Corning’s Eagle XG glass as a carrier substrate to achieve a unique form factor. The company is also working with BOE and Tiana on smart liquid crystal antennas, which use optimized display glass substrates to precisely direct signals.
A significant development presented is Silicon on Glass technology, a new approach for producing microdisplays for AR, VR, and MR applications. This method combines the benefits of both silicon and glass backplanes for TFT substrates, aiming to advance the performance and manufacturing of displays for extended reality devices.
Reflecting on its 175-year history, Corning displays its legacy in television technology, starting with the mass production of cathode ray tube (CRT) glass. The exhibit features an early CRT tube used for radar and one of the first RCA televisions, which contained a Corning CRT, demonstrating how the company helped make television accessible. The evolution from the deep, small CRT tubes of the 1930s and 1960s to modern flat-panel displays is shown.
Corning’s invention of the fusion glass manufacturing process over 60 years ago was pivotal for the transition to LCD televisions. This process creates exceptionally flat and consistent glass, which has enabled the development of thinner, larger, and higher-performance flat-screen TVs. The company also highlights the role of its Gorilla Glass, another product of the fusion process, in consumer electronics.
