Dinorex Glass is the brand name of the Scratch Resistant Glass for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices made by Nippon Electric Glass (NEG). The name Dinorex is coined from the reputation of dinosaurs for toughness and strength. According to NEG:
Dinorex [is] a portmanteau meaning kings of dinosaurs, based on the image of the Tyrannosauraus Rex, known to be the strongest of Dinosaurs. The name indicates the strength and toughness of the glass against cracks and scratches.
Dinorex glass is a type of protective glass used in the manufacturing of smartphones and tablets. It is often utilized as a durable cover material to protect the device’s display. It is known for its toughness and resistance to scratches and impacts and is similar in function to other well-known protective glass products like Gorilla Glass. The specific properties and characteristics of Dinorex glass may vary based on the manufacturer and the device for which it is used.
