If you go to Corning Inc’s website, you’ll see the company advertises its seemingly indestructible Gorilla Glass as being available for LCD TV sets, but to this point, no major manufacturer has taken up this tempting offer. That’s all about to change, apparently, as Corning has recently announced plans to massively expand its production capacity (see press release after the break) and is now predicting it’ll secure its first deal this fall.

Qualcomm’s Mirasol displays have already found their way into quite a few products, but the company looks to really be branching out into some new territory with its latest prototype: an e-book reader with a full-color, 5.7-inch display. Of course, Qualcomm isn’t planning to sell this one itself, and it isn’t revealing any OEM partners just yet, but it has set the somewhat ambitious target of getting it on the market in the “latter part of 2010.” From the looks of it, however, it doesn’t seem like it’ll have too much trouble attracting interest, considering that the XGA (220ppi) Mirasol display is not only full-color, but allows for video playback, is supposedly readable in direct sunlight, and reportedly has a “minimal impact” on battery life
