Once again, LG has left our jaws on the floor. They have delivered another innovative device.
LG unveiled a year ago the QHD display used on their LG G3. They have provided a standard 1440 x 2560 resolution used on mostly all smartphones on the market. LG has now bought out another trend, this time focusing on the bezel. They have developed the narrowest bezel on the market. With on .7mm of thickness, the LG bezel is no thicker than a .8 mm credit card.
How did LG do It?
For LD to developed the slim bezel, they used Neo Edge technology on their device. The technology fuses several units into one single unit. The circuit board, the backlight, and a touch panel are fused to be one unit. Unlike technology used previously, in which double-sided tape was used to seal the units, this technology has specific adhesive.
Dust and Water Proof
LG’s new technology used on the display has managed to provide more security to the display. The Neo Edge technology doesn’t rely on the plastic display, but now it blocks water, dust, and light leakage from the minimal bezel.
Who Gets the Display?
LG originally outfitted their 5.3 inch display with LCD panel. However, they still do not have a device that uses the new technology. The company has been able to mimic the technology on larger displays, but there is no confirmation on future devices. With the trend for smartphones to be larger, LG can squeeze in a larger display on a smaller device.
When Can We Expect It?
November is the start of LG mass producing the new LCD panel. China will be the first market to receive the new tech, and then it will be available for all markets.
