Sharp develops 4.1-inch LCD with 736ppi resolution

Sharp Corp has announced that it has recently developed a 4.1-inch IGZO LCD panel that packs a rich resolution of 736ppi.

Sharp’s newly-developed display is an IGZO LCD panel that measures 4.1-inches with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 (WQXGA) or equal to 736ppi.

According to Sharp, the 4.1-inch 736ppi IGZO panel matches the resolution of a 6-inch 4K panel, and it was able to do so by utilizing pixels that are just 11.5µm in size.

This breaks new grounds for the company as the highest-resolution LCD panel it has developed so far is a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) panel with almost 550ppi resolution and an IGZO LCD panel with almost 500ppi resolution.

Sharp aims to start volume production of the new panel in 2016 with samples to ship in 2015.
