Sharp’s New High-Res LCD Panel

Sharp Corp has developed an LCD panel with a resolution so high that a cellular phone can display the same kinds of screens shown on a personal computer monitor.

By using high-performance transistors to control these pixels and by miniaturizing the countless wires that span the panel, Sharp was able to design an LCD panel with a far greater ability to display objects. The result is a panel for cell phones that can display spreadsheets and Web sites with the same detail as PCs, showing text and images with high clarity. Continue >>
