hey everybody Michael Fisher with pocket now Tony behind the camera taking a look at GT advanced technology as a company that might very well reshape the glass on the front of your smartphone let's take a look this is a true barcelona piece of indigenous concrete here found on the parking lot of the and I'm gonna take my company issued iPhone 5 it's the only phone I have in the world and I'm gonna take this thing and I'm gonna start to you know scratch away right so I'm pushing pretty hard on the surface of that and what you're seeing and we'll see when I'm done here is a dust trail of material that actually broke off of this concrete as I was rubbing it across the screen in my phone and when I clear that away you'll see that there's no damage to the screen it says no scratching there are some smudge marks because I haven't cleaned it perfectly yet but there's no you can't scratch sapphire I mean the only thing that's harder than sapphire is diamond so what I have done here just for demonstration purposes as I put this piece of sapphire on my iPhone 5 so that I could you know do that here at the show the show showcase some of them but it's about two and a half times stronger than last two and a half times stronger than gorillas that in terms of in terms of impact resistance you know gorilla glass it resists scratches very well but it will still shatter on impact is that the same case with the sapphire sapphire will shower brittle material I had a certain energy or force shattering but again because of the yeren streets of the material it's yes will that shatter point is better than what you see what's burly boys so it takes a bit more effort to shatter sapphire this will know what's interesting about the comparison between the products you just saw me you know do this on my phone right if I take the same rock and then I'll just use this piece of glass I know if you can see some of the scratches on it already but I'll I'll try to use that upper corner it's fairly clear so they take the same rod and do the same thing thing again with this and then I show you sort of wiping it away you can see the fact that it's actually scratch the material right this is - so what happens what happens now is the weight gorilla glad that's a great product you know it's ubiquitous a good product nothing against glass per se for the manufacturing process mm-hmm the last step in the making of Gorilla Glass is that the sheet is actually dipped into a bath and that would happen if that is material that they substrate into actually like shrimp rings that's around the actual substrate putting the pressure around the material and that's what adds that extra bit of strength extensions you scratch together 50 micron film you actually release the stress and so you've introduced now is a flaw or a fault into the material it's very likely that at some point when that phone would drop to get a crack that's gonna occur along that fault line if you've ever cut glass like for a window or fix your frame or something you know you just score it we've been in the air and snap it along that point right same idea so that fail as the pre-scored have four points over the points which your keys and scratch hitters keys common enemy of Gorilla Glass are keys and coins whatever exactly this is was awesome to see thank you a very very simple demo and it is your name again I'm sorry Jeff Jeff thank you Michael
