Led the company’s innovations in glass.

Wendell P. Weeks leads Corning’s efforts to apply highly engineered glass to nearly any surface. Product innovations include EAGLE XG Slim glass that’s produced without heavy metals, Lotus Glass that has an average display of 2 million pixels, Willow Glass that is flexible, and Gorilla Glass that is super-thin but damage resistant.

The demand for glass is growing as the technology industry creates products that require thin, light, flexible, and durable materials that display pictures with millions of pixels for image quality. Consumers are demanding sharper images, more vivid colors, and faster refresh rates, which calls for display glass that can stand up to anything.
