Thick as a credit card, the worlds thinnest LCD screen
Samsung has achieved these results by redesigning the light guide plate subassembly and the glass substrate which contributed a lot to the LCD screens thickness. By doing so Samsung's engineers were able to shave 0.7mm's off of the width of the (previous) thinnest LCD screen in existence.
The LCD screen features a gVGA resolution (240x320 pixels) 300nit brightness and a 500:1 contrast ratio.
Along side this ultra-thin LCD screen Samsung has also developed a new technology called ‘i-Lens’ for integrating these screens with a protective layer into mobile devices.
An advantage in design ‘i-Lens’ has is that the protective layer is fastened directly onto the LCD screen, werein in other designs there usually is 2 to 3mm in space above the LCD panel to protect the screen.
‘i-Lens’ is thinner and more shock and damage resistant than previous LCD integration designs, saving a reportedly 1.4 to 2.4mm in thickness compared to other designs.
Samsung expects the new screen will hit mass production sometime in the second half of 2007.
What does this mean? Well to put quite frankly it means friggin Motorola can make its Razr mobile phone even thinner with its next release...
