LG.Philips LCD has unveiled a new LCD technology ,a 2.4-inch a-Si TFT-LCD panel with 1mm thin border for use in mobile phones.

The borders on the left and right sides of this 2.4-inch VGA-resolution (240×320) LCD panel measure just 1 mm each. This is about 50 percent thinner than most a-Si TFT-LCD panels currently produced. By narrowing the borders on either size of the panel, LG.Philips LCD was able to increase display area by 10 percent, allowing electronics makers to incorporate panels with much larger viewable areas into existing product frames. LG.Philips LCD plans to start mass production of these new panels next year.
