Samsung Electronics has broken another record. It has developed a 1.98” LCD, the fact isn’t that interesting, but the resolution of this LCD is VGA (480x640 pixels). The company says this is unprecedented in the industry. The display is based on the amorphous silicon. (a-Si).
Cellphones equipped with such LCD can display application windows and documents in quality close to that in PC and notebooks, only the picture is much smaller. It’s hard to say whether it will be convenient: one should have keen sight to make out details.
I’d note that the LCD supports up to 16M colors. Currently it is exhibited at the SID show (Society for Information Display International Conference) in San Francisco.
