CORNING -- Corning Incorporated announced today it experienced a manufacturing disruption over the weekend.

     An LCD glass facility in Taiwan lost power.

     A Corning Inc. Executive says the outage slowed glass-making operations and will ultimately have an impact on glass volume in the fourth quarter.

     It will be several days before the full extent of the disruption is known.

     A preliminary assessment released by the company says fourth quarter glass volume could be flat, rather than the five percent increase projected earlier.
