CORNING, N.Y., May 14, 2008 --Corning Inc. said it will introduce its green laser G-1000 at the Society for Information Display's (SID) Display Week 2008 conference in Los Angeles, Calif., May 18-23, and will offer two presentations on green laser technology.

The high efficiency, high speed and small size of the green laser device were designed for integration into laser-based microprojectors for embedded handsets and other mobile devices, the company said.

"Corning's green laser G-1000 enables brighter, more vibrant, full-color images and a much longer battery life than LED-based solutions. Green laser technology truly creates a new user experience -- one where consumers can view, share and interact with mobile multimedia content such as user-generated images and video, mobile television and Internet," said Thomas Mills, business director, green lasers.

Corning said it has been supplying green lasers to strategic customers in North America and Asia since late 2007 and is now planning production capacity to meet future market demand.

Corning will make two presentations on green laser technology during Display Week 2008. In a poster session May 22, the company will describe how high-quality images can be created with its green lasers. Corning will present a paper May 23 authored jointly with Konica Minolta detailing the G-1000 architecture and highlight how adaptive optics can help deliver robust and stable performance in a mobile device that is subjected to daily handling and indoor/outdoor conditions. This paper has been awarded the designation "Distinguished Contributed Paper" by the 2008 SID International Symposium.
