It takes thin parts to make a thin smartphone,
and LG is leading the pack when it comes to
display technology
LG is showing off a new 5.3-inch LCD display
that they claim holds the title of world's slimmest
full HD display. Checking in at only 2.2mm in
thickness, they also feature an ultra-slim 2.3mm
bezel. This means your great-big smartphone can
be a little less great-bog overall.
They credit their new technology, dubbed
Advanced One-Glass-Solution, for enabling such a
thin panel. It uses dual flexible printed circuits
opposed to a single circuit, that has been inserted
between the glass itself and the touch film. This
reduces the number of lines etched onto the panel
circuit by more than 30-percent. In addition, a
new bonding system using optically clear resin to
mate it all together into one very thin piece.
These panels are said to offer superior visibility
outdoors, along with a better contrast ratio and
an increased brightness of 535 nits. The
1080x1920 panels are use a true RBG pixel layout
-- none of that pentile silliness here. Combined,
these features make the new panel outperform
every other current HD LCD panels, and we don't
have to take LG's word for it -- Intertek has
officially certified the results.
I'll stick my neck out and say it -- I'll bet we'll
see these panels in the upcoming LG G2 . It
should be an interesting Q3 in the mobile space.
Hit the break for the full press release.
LG Display Introduces World’s Slimmest Full HD
LCD Panel for Smartphones
New panel will enable sleeker Full HD
smartphones delivering superior viewing
experience
Seoul, Korea (July 11, 2013) – LG Display [NYSE:
LPL, KRX: 034220], a leading innovator of display
technology, today announced that it will unveil
the world’s slimmest Full HD LCD panel for
smartphones. The state-of-the-art 5.2-inch panel
is an exciting advancement for the premium
mobile device market enabling sleeker Full HD
smartphones featuring better “grip-ability” and 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. Additionally, the panel will
make devices easier to grip as well as lighter in
weight.
Key to realizing the world’s slimmest panel is LG
Display’s Advanced One-Glass-Solution (OGS),
the latest touch technology enabling an enhanced
touch screen experience, developed and applied to
the new panel for the first time ever. Dual Flexible
Printed Circuits, superior to a single circuit, have
been inserted 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.
The new panel’s superiority in displaying
resolution, brightness, and contrast ratio results
in enhanced outdoor readability. By utilizing
1,080X1,920 pixels consisting of Red, Green, Blue
(RGB) sub-pixels, the panel is a true Full HD
display. And with a brightness of 535 nits at
maximum, LG Display’s panel outperforms all
current mobile Full HD LCD panels. Finally,
measuring contrast in real-life surroundings with
Ambient Contrast Ratio results in a reading of
3.74:1 based on 10,000 lux, confirming the
perfect performance of the panel even in strong
outdoor sunlight conditions. Renowned testing
firm Intertek has officially certified these results.
“Today’s introduction of the world’s slimmest Full
HD LCD panel represents an exciting
advancement for the high-end smartphone
segment, and is possible due to our world-class
expertise in IPS and touch technologies,” said Dr.
Byeong-Koo Kim, Vice President and Head of LG
Display’s IT and Mobile Development Group. “LG
Display will continue its commitment to
developing products that maximize consumer
value as well as opening new doors for the mobile
and tablet PC industry.”
