Apple introduced the Retina display with the iPhone 4 and it was an instant success.
Everyone loved the detailing, picture quality, colors, contrast all thanks to the high resolution 960 x 640 resolution and 326ppi on it. However, that was almost 3 years ago and we’ve come a long way.
LG has announced a new range of mobile phone displays, measuring at 5 inches and carrying a full HD resolution of 1980 x 1080. That’s not it, the display has a pixel density of 440 pixels per inch. Now that’s a lot more than what the iPhone’s Retina display has. It uses the same IPS technology that’s being used on the Retina display and boasts a full 16:9 aspect ratio. It was rumored that the next generation iPhone could also get a 16:9 widescreen display, as larger displays are in fashion now.
As smartphones become increasingly valued for how well they do multimedia and with the rapid growth of LTE enabling faster large file transfers, our new 5″ Full HD LCD panel is certain to prove a significant asset to the mobile market. With the world’s highest resolution smartphone display, LG Display continues to remain a step ahead in developing the most innovative in display technology products.
The problem? It’s still a 5 inch display and I honestly don’t think people are going to adopt to such big displays for mobile phones. The new displays from LG should be available in the second half of this year and ready for use in mobile phones.
