The new smartphone panel offers improved picture quality.
LG has announced the development of its latest LCD panel designed for mobile devices. The new Quad HD screen will be used in one of LG's upcoming flagship smartphones set to be revealed later this month.
Mr. Byeong-Koo Kim, Vice President of the IT/Mobile Development Group at LG Display said, "The company has maximized the essential display functions for mobile devices from touch to color gamut by using the latest technology and accumulated expertise." He added, "LG Display will continue to develop products that can offer the best user experience not only for smartphones, but also for tablets and notebook PCs."
The 5.5-inch display uses an IPS panel with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 and 538ppi. In addition, the screen offers support for a 120 percent color gamut through the use of high color gamut LED tech. Likewise, the panel features photo-alignment tech for a 50 percent greater contrast ratio and 30 percent greater brightness level compared to traditional LCD panels. Finally, LG has also integrated Advanced In-Cell Touch technology for improved touch response even when there are water drops on the screen.
Mass production of the panel has begun and LG will announce mobile products that use the screen soon.
