Visiting the Corning booth at CES revealed the company’s new Dynamic Décor product for automotive interiors. Dynamic Décor is a display device that is disguised as an unobtrusive premium surface such as wood or leather when not in use.
Pointing out the many displays installed in a Rivian R1S, Corning spokesman Jake Pagragan discussed how consumers prefer to interact with glass rather than plastic, so the Dynamic Décor surface provides the feel drivers prefer when it is being operated as a display screen.
However, while most of us suffer from screen fatigue, these displays can disappear behind a glass cover that provides the warm appearance of wood or leather rather than a glaring display screen.
Unlike the rotating center display in the Bentley Continental GT, which pivots to hide the display behind real wood, Dynamic Décor is a glass façade on a screen that lets it become invisible when not in use. This a the solution for vehicles that cost less than the Bentley, but whose drivers can still appreciate the calming effect of hiding a display.
When the screen is in use, Corning says that Dynamic Décor delivers a vivid visual experience through the facade, even in challenging lighting conditions. The display can also tilt to improve image clarity and quality from multiple viewing angles.
Dynamic Décor is made from Corning’s AutoGrade Gorilla Glass, which you might recall debuted as the screen material for the Apple iPhone and has been used for its break resistance for windshields on the Jeep Wrangler. For Dynamic Décor, Gorilla Glass is formed with Corning ColdForm Technology, which allows automotive displays to be shaped at room temperature. That saves energy and cost compared to hot forming techniques.

It is glass, but it looks like wood. And when the display switches on, the wood is replaced by the images the driver needs to see. CORNING
AutoGrade Corning Gorilla Glass parts for 3D Interiors are so thin and tough that they can be fully manufactured flat and bent at room temperature using Corning’s ColdForm Technology. During the ColdForm process, each part manufacturing process step – from fusion forming to chemical strengthening, from decoration to shipping – is all done with flat pieces of glass.
This preserves the glass’ pristine, fusion-formed surface, provides uniformly coated parts, and can produce higher yields through precision cutting, according to Corning. The same sheet can be bent in different ways, giving designers the freedom to create shapes such as a C-shaped instrument cluster or an S-shaped center display.
“With Corning’s 100-plus years in the automotive industry, Dynamic Décor is another example of how our strong partnerships are helping deliver the automotive designs of the future,” said Mike Kunigonis, Vice President and General Manager, Corning Automotive Glass Solutions.
