LG Philips unveils "world's thinnest" mobile phone display panel Posted: 29-Sep-2006 01:14 hrs
South Korea's LG Philips LCD unveiled what it claims to be the world's thinnest liquid crystal display (LCD) for use in mobile phones.
.
The new panel, only 1.3 millimetres (0.052 of an inch) thick including the module, is about a third slimmer than the TFT-LCD (thin-film transistor liquid crystal display) panels currently in use for mobile phones.
.
The existing panels normally measure between 1.9 and 2.9 millimetres.
.
"This latest technological breakthrough will enable mobile phone manufacturers to produce mobile phones even slimmer than the 6.9 millimetre-thick phones available today," the company said.
.
LG Philips LCD's vice president Hyun He-Ha said the introduction of the super-slim LCD panel will further accelerate the shift to slim design phones.
