Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 11. Hedging Activities Designated Hedges Corning uses over-the-counter (“OTC”) foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to reduce the risk that movements in exchange rates will adversely affect the net cash flows resulting from the sale of products to customers and purchases from suppliers. The total gross notional values for foreign currency cash flow hedges are $578 million and $780 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, with maturities through 2024. Corning defers gains and losses related to the cash flow hedges into accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets until the hedged item impacts earnings. At September 30, 2022, the amount expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is a pre-tax gain of $30 million. Corning has entered into leases of precious metals with maturities through 2025. To offset the risk of changes in the fair value of the Company’s separate accounting pool of leased precious metals due to adverse changes in the respective market prices, Corning designated the bifurcated embedded derivatives included in these leases as fair value hedges. The gain or loss on the derivatives, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. The amounts representing the time value component of the derivatives are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and amortized in earnings. The impact of the excluded component on Corning’s other comprehensive income and earnings is not material. The carrying amount of the leased precious metals pool, which is included in the property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation line of the consolidated balance sheets is $324 million and $107 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Undesignated Hedges Corning uses OTC foreign exchange forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes to offset economic currency risks. The undesignated hedges limit exposure to foreign functional currency fluctuations related to certain subsidiaries’ monetary assets, monetary liabilities and net earnings in foreign currencies. A significant portion of the Company’s non-U.S. revenue and expenses are denominated in Japanese yen, South Korean won, new Taiwan dollar, Chinese yuan, and euro. When this revenue and these expenses are translated back to U.S. dollars, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate movements. To protect translated earnings against movements in these currencies, the Company has entered into a series of average rate forwards and option contracts. Most of these contracts hedge a significant portion of the Company’s exposure to the Japanese yen, with maturities through 2024, and South Korean won, with maturities through 2026. The following table summarizes the total gross notional value for translated earnings contracts at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in billions):

(1) | Denominational currencies for other average rate forward contracts include the Chinese yuan, New Taiwan dollar, and British pound.
(2) | Japanese yen-denominated option contracts include purchased put and call options and zero-cost collars. With respect to the zero-cost collars, the gross notional amount includes the value of the put and call options. However, due to the nature of the zero-cost collars, only the put or call option can be exercised at maturity.
(3) | Other foreign currency option contracts are purchased basket options that include a basket of underlying currencies, including the Japanese yen, South Korean won, euro and British pound, and each basket option are settled against U.S. dollars.
