LG.Philips a-Si TFT LCD panel

LG.Philips has just developed a 2.4″ a-Si TFT LCD display complete with the thinnest border in the world, hoping that this invention will be put to use in cellphones sometime down the road. The borders on both left and right sides of this 2.4″ QVGA LCD panel measure a mere 1mm each, making it approximately half the thickness than most other current a-Si TFT LCD panels being produced. This new display is based on LG.Philips LCD’s Narrow Bezel Technology, integrating the driver IC onto the LCD panel using Gate in Panel technology (GIP) to ensure that narrow-border panels are equal in quality and reliability to their wider counterparts. Mass production will being next year, and this technology can be expected to be seen in the rest of its slim border products.
