Toshiba circular LCD panel

Come to think of it, how many circular LCD panels have you come across for commercial use? Practically none, which is why Toshiba’s circular LCD panel has created quite a ripple. This display measures 62mm in diameter with an outer border of 3″, and makes living proof that an LCD display can be of any shape instead of a plain old rectangle or square. The specifications ain’t too shabby either, with a 240 x 240 resolution, a brightness level of 500 nits, and a contrast ratio of 600 to 1. Toshiba hopes to push these circular LCDs to the automobile industry and mobile devices, but it remains to be seen when these prototypes will actually enter production. Car dashboards will never be the same again, and you will probably see a round version of the nano next time round.
