LG Unveils World’s First QHD 2560 x 1440 Smartphone Display

LG, a leading innovator of display technologies is continuing to set itself apart from the crowd on the display front with an announcement that it has developed the world's first Quad HD AH-IPS LCD panel for smartphones which features 5.5 inch screen with an astounding 2560 x 1440-pixel resolution (538ppi). LG is calling it QHD (Quad High Definition), and it clocks in as the highest resolution ever seen in a smartphone. It gets its name from being able to display four times the minimal HD resolution of 1280 x 720.

The 2560x1440 resolution will also allow users to "enjoy a full view of PC version web pages at a single glance without image distortion", even when zooming in on text and images. Comparing this with Full HD displays, LG said that presently users would only get access to roughly three quarters of the screen.

“LG Display, which pioneered the high resolution mobile market with introduction of the world’s first Full HD smartphone panel in 2012, again opens new possibilities with the successful application of QHD technology,” said Dr. Byeong-koo Kim, Vice President and Head of LG Display’s IT and Mobile Development Group. “With this breakthrough, LG Display will continue to raise new standards for mobile resolution and lead the mobile display market.”

LG says the panel, which is only 1.21mm thick, will have a minimum bezel of 1.2mm. This makes the new display 12 percent thinner compared to the 5.2-inch display they showed off on the LG G2 last month. The panel will also be significantly brighter, checking in at 430 nits.

"With this breakthrough, LG Display will continue to raise new standards for mobile resolution and lead the mobile display market." LG Display has yet to announce when its new mobile display technology will make it to market.
