LG Display said its new Full HD LCD panel for smartphones measures 5.2 inches, and promises a "superior viewing experience."
"Only 2.2mm thin with a 2.3mm bezel, LG Display’s new panel is both slimmest and narrowest among existing Full HD LCD panels designed for mobile devices. This world’s slimmest Full HD LCD panel will provide larger visible display space on smartphones, critical as mobile devices are used for multimedia viewing more than ever before," it said.
At the heart of the display is LG's Advanced One-Glass-Solution (OGS), which promises an enhanced touch screen experience.
It also uses Dual Flexible Printed Circuits between the panel and touch film, reducing the number of lines on the panel by more than 30 percent.
"Utilization of a direct bonding system has also resulted in Optical Clear Resin between the panel and touch film for greater brightness," it said.
The panel has 1,080X1,920 pixels consisting of Red, Green, Blue (RGB) sub-pixels, and a brightness of 535 nits at maximum.
An Ambient Contrast Ratio results in a reading of 3.74:1 based on 10,000 lux, allowing good performance even in strong outdoor sunlight.
However, tech site CNET said LG isn't alone in working on such advanced displays. So are Samsung, Nokia, and Apple.
These companies "have been working on flexible smartphone and tablet screens for years," it added. — TJD, GMA News
