The new substrate has been dubbed Lotus Glass and, in addition to being as resilient as Gorilla while granting enhanced picture quality, better response time, better resolution, and reducing the screen’s power requirements. According to a release by Corning,
The intrinsic thermal consistency of Corning Lotus Glass allows it to retain its shape and quality during high-temperature processing. Decreased compaction and variation during the crystallization and activation step further reduces stress and distortions to the substrate. This enables tighter design rules in advanced backplanes for higher resolution and faster response time.

To start with you covered this product last October three days after it was announced and it’s the same press release. Second, the product is not as resilient as Gorilla glass, it is not scratch resistant, it is a product optimised for precision in high temperature manufacturing processes. It just happens to be made my the company that makes Gorilla glass.
