LG announces Quad-HD LCD panel for smartphones

Just when we thought Full HD is the king, LG Display has just announced the “world’s first” Quad HD LCD panel for smartphones.

The Quad HD (QHD) AH-IPS LCD panel bears a resolution of 2560 X 1440, which is four times more pixels than HD (1280 x 720). This new high-resolution display measures 5.5-inch across, boasts a pixel density of 538ppi and is capable of producing 430 nits of brightness. In addition, it is only 1.21mm thin with a 1.2mm bezel.

According to LG, this new advancement in smartphone display technology “will enable consumers to fully enjoy more life-like and crisp images, and even Blu-ray equivalent video, on their smartphones.”

I say again what I said when the FHD screens start popping up. As extreme as this may seem, I think it’s a step in the right direction. This means that prices for FHD (the next lower tier, in general) will drop a lot, since they will no longer be the top tier technology and will not hold the premium price associated with the bleeding edge.

I still think HD (720P) is enough for phones. So this would be better used for bigger devices like tablets.

mejo OA na ung ganitong kataas na resolution sa mga 5-inch screens sa phones,pero for me essential pa rin to kasi di ko naman habol ung taas ng high resolution kundi ung taas ng pixel density kasi gusto ko na magkaroon ng phone na di mo na talaga madidistinguish ung bawat pixel =) tska tama c abuzalzal masyado atang napagiiwanan ang laptops EVEN televisions sa display resolution,sa smartphone wala pang 15k may full hd ka na sa laptop naman kakaunti pa lang ang over 1366×768(puro mga mamahalin) sa mga TV naman 1080p pa rin ung common kahit pede naman itaas tsk tsk

Wala bang bagong development pagdating sa battery technoloy? Sobrang luma na ang technology ng Lithium ION at Lithium Polymer-based batteries. Walang innovation pag dating sa battery, this is what I’m disappointed at.
