LG Display reveals 5.2-inch superthin 1080p LCD screen in time for Optimus G2 launch. LG Display claims it is the world’s thinnest 1080p LCD smartphone panel.
Measuring just 2.2mm and with a 2.3mm bezel it allows “premium” smartphones to be thinner than usual, lighter and with a more comfortable grip.
As the panel is 5.2-inches, it’s a safe bet that the first use for the technology will be with the company’s own forthcoming flagship smartphone, the LG Optimus G2. It is expected to be announced on 7 August in New York City, so the timing between today’s announcement and the launch is good.
The panelutilises LG’s Advanced One-Glass-Solution (OGS) technology with dual flexible printed circuits inserted between the panel and touch film. A direct bonding system has also been used, which should improve brightness because of optical clear resin sitting between the panel and touch film.
LG quotes the brightness asup to 535 nits and a contrast ratio reading of 3.74:1, based on 10,000 lux. Even though it is LCD, this should make it readable even in strong sunlight.
“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 the firm’s IT and Mobile Development Group.
“LG Display will continue its commitment to developing products that maximise consumer value as well as opening new doors for the mobile and tablet PC industry.”
