After years in development and millions of test cycles in its Silicon
Valley labs, Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC), a Santa Clara,
California-based corporation specializing in thin-film deposition and
sensor technologies, is debuting its premier consumer product, DIAMOND
DOG™ screen protectors (with DiamondClad™ Tempered Glass),
at Showstoppers at CES 2020. The DIAMOND DOG exhibit will be located at
tables C-11 and C-12.

DIAMOND DOG sets the new diamond standard for long-lasting mobile device
screen protection and performance. DIAMOND DOG features patented DiamondClad
technology, built on the foundation of 120+ patents and Intevac’s
diamond-like carbon technology that has protected billions of hard drive
media over 25 years.

Lab tests show DIAMOND DOG screen protectors provide up to 6 times
better scratch protection, up to 5 times more abrasion protection, up to
4-6 times longer anti-fingerprint protection, and up to 3 times better
breakage protection.* Plus, if your DIAMOND DOG screen protector gets
damaged or worn, DIAMOND DOG will replace it as long as you own your
DIAMOND DOG-protected phone.** DIAMOND DOG ensures:

  • Your mobile device screen is better protected for a longer period of
    time
  • Your mobile device interface performs as naturally as the phone’s own
    screen does
  • Your mobile device stays clean, maintains pristine clarity, and looks
    like new longer
  • You’re paying a fair price and getting extra, lasting value and a
    lifetime warranty

The DIAMOND DOG screen protector, priced at $29.99, comes with an
installation tray, wet/dry wipes, a dust/lint removal sticker, and a
screen polishing cloth.

“We are thrilled to bring DiamondClad Tempered Glass to consumers
to help them protect their indispensable mobile devices, through the
introduction of DIAMOND DOG,” said Wendell Blonigan, president and chief
executive officer of Intevac. “This product offers the smartest solution
for smart phone screen protection, unlike anything else on the market
today.”
