AGC to Hold Special International Year of Glass 2022 Exhibition “The Identity of the Glass”
Tokyo, April 4, 2022 - AGC (AGC Inc), a world-leading manufacturer of glass, chemicals, and high-tech materials, will hold the special exhibition “The Identity of the Glass,” to commemorate the International Year of Glass 2022, as designated by the United Nations. The event will be held at the AGC Yokohama Technical Center (Tsurumi-Ku, Yokohama) from Monday, April 4 to Friday, September 2, 2022. In addition to introducing the functional value of glass materials in the industry, the exhibition will unravel the impressions, context, and emotional value of glass from six different perspectives. The space will allow visitors to feel the attraction of glass that has accompanied the development of civilization and to reconsider the potential of glass and the role it should play in the future.

*1: Glass made by uniformly dispersing nano-order particles with different refractive indices in glass using AGC's unique material control technology. This special technological process selectively scatters short-wavelength light (mainly blue) by particles that are smaller than the wavelength of light when white light, which is used as sunlight, is shone on them. This phenomenon produces the red sunsets and blue skies of the natural world and soothes people's hearts.
