Sharp develops worlds thinnest LCD

Sharp has just announced it has developed the world's thinnest LCD for mobile devices, a 2.2-inch screen at a mere 0.68 mm thick. This will drive mobile devices such as cell phones and digital cameras to become thinner as manufacturers strive to improve portability and offer consumers more stylish designs. As a result, thinner embedded components such as LCDs are also increasing in demand. The increase for One-Seg (terrestrial digital broadcast) compatible handsets is leading to demands for greater visibility and higher image quality in displays intended for mobile devices.
The development the new 2.2-inch Mobile Advanced Super View LCD is based on proprietary Sharp fabrication techniques for thin LCDs, in particular, glass substrate and backlight technologies. This new Mobile Advanced Super View LCD delivers superior image quality approaching that of an LCD TV thanks to a high contrast ratio of 2000:1, wide viewing angle of 176 degrees, and fast response speed of 8 ms, which are among the highest levels in the industry.
