AGC’s Electronics Solutions

Choose from a wide range of thin glass products

AGC offers a variety of glass materials in different thicknesses, sizes, and properties such as transmittance, CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion), and Young’s modulus. Glass thickness options range from 0.23 to 6 mm, and we can also accommodate ultra-thin glass below 0.2 mm upon request, making them suitable for many applications. From chemically strengthened glass for electronic devices and in-vehicle displays to glass for solar panels and carrier glass used in manufacturing processes, AGC provides materials based on customer needs and product requirements.

Supporting The Development Of Glass Suited To Customer Needs

If standard glass products don’t meet specific requirements, AGC works with customers to create custom solutions. By putting its focus on research and development, AGC continues to improve existing glass and develop new types. We are able to develop and improve new types of glass to meet a variety of customer needs, such as enhanced durability, optical transparency, and chemical resistance.

Chemical Strengthening

Chemical strengthening is a specialized process that increases the strength, durability, and scratch resistance of glass. During this process, the glass is immersed in a heated potassium salt bath, allowing larger potassium ions to replace smaller sodium ions on the glass surface. This ion exchange creates compressive stress, which improves the glass’s ability to withstand mechanical impacts and resist bending.
This approach is ideal for cover applications where glass is frequently used or needs to withstand environmental stress, such as in smartphones, automotive displays, cameras, and sensors.
AGC’s chemical strengthening process can be customized based on the glass type and intended use, ensuring the best performance for each product.

Cutting for Wafers and Panels and Edge Processing

AGC provides cutting and edge processing in sizes and tolerances tailored to customer needs. We can process glass into the desired shapes, whether it's glass wafers, panel substrates, or complex, irregularly shaped substrates, and deliver them through a one-stop solution. For edge processing—an important step in enhancing the safety, durability, and handling of glass—we offer a variety of edge finishes such as rounded, chamfered, and polished edges, all customizable to meet specific performance and design requirements.

Surface Treatments (AG/AR)

AGC offers advanced surface treatments to enhance the optical performance and functionality of its glass. These treatments are particularly useful for improving visibility in challenging environments.
Anti-glare (AG) treatment reduces surface reflections by scattering incoming light. It is ideal for devices used in bright or outdoor settings, as it minimizes glare and improves screen readability. Anti-glare treatment is commonly applied to automotive displays, public information kiosks, and medical monitors.
Anti-reflective (AR) treatment reduces the amount of light reflected from the glass surface, allowing more light to pass through. This results in improved image clarity and reduced reflections, which is particularly important for optical devices, high-resolution displays, and scientific instruments.
Both treatments can be combined with other processing techniques to deliver glass that meets the highest standards of visual clarity and performance.
