C ORNING T ECHNOLOGIES Corning’s historical success stems from its foundation as an inno- vative technology company. Our diverse portfolio of businesses spans a wide range of markets, and this is one of the main reasons we are weathering the downturn in the telecommunications sector. The businesses we classify as Corning Technologies — led by our liquid-crystal display (LCD) glass, environmental, and semicon- ductor optics operations — were strong and profitable in 2002, with aggressive plans for significant growth during 2003.  Our LCD glass business has been a star performer, posting year-over-year volume gains of more than 45 percent. We are the leading producer in this market. Our sales of glass for desktop monitors have doubled over the past year alone — and there’s still plenty of room for more growth, since only about a quarter of desktop displays sold in 2002 were LCD. And, LCD TVs are just beginning to gain popularity — we consider this one of our next big opportunities, as the number of LCD TVs sold annually more than doubled in 2002. Our EAGLE 2000™ glass substrates and other product and process innovations are enabling manufac- turers to produce lighter, larger, thinner and higher-resolution displays more affordably — exactly what the market is demanding.
