Sharp has started production of 5-inch full-HD (1080 by 1920) LCD panels for smartphones with a pixel density of 443 ppi. Production began at the end of September 2012 and full-scale production will begin in October.
This LCD panel employs CG-silicon technology, a new pixel design, and a production process to achieve the same number of pixels in a smartphone-size screen as there are in a full-HD LCD TV, Sharp said. Additionally, the panels have approximately 1.3 times the pixel density of conventional LCD panels.
