AGC Begins Car Glass Mass Production

Glass, chemical and materials developer AGC Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. has begun mass production of its 3D Curved Cover Glass for car-mounted displays.

The product’s anti-reflective surface treatment aims to improve visibility and operability, which has led to increased adoption in car navigation systems and information panels. AGC’s subsidiary, AGC Display Glass Yonezawa Co. Ltd., began production of the flat-surfaced version of the product in 2013 on a dedicated production line and was prompted to increase production capacity in April 2016.

The company says it hopes to be a leading manufacturer of car-mounted display cover glass by swiftly setting up a supply system capable of meeting diversifying needs.
