LG to show off new high-resolution display tech at CES 2013
LG will showcase various high-res displays at CES, ranging from UHD TVs, to full HD phablet and tablet displays.
LG is going all out with its technology at CES 2013. The Korean electronics manufacturer will show off high-resolution displays ranging from a mere 4.7-inches up to 84-inch behemoths.
The 4.7-inch display that LG will show off at CES will have a bezel that’s only about 1mm thick. Devices that will use this new display will be a lot slimmer than the current 4.7-inch display smartphones.
Next we have the 5.5-inch (1920×1080) phablet display. With a full HD resolution, the pixel density of the new 5.5-inch LG display will be 403ppi. The iPhone 5, which has a 4-inch display, has a resolution of 640×1136 giving its display a pixel density of 326ppi. The Samsung Galaxy Note II, which is the current market leader as far as phablets are concerned, has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 720×1280 giving it a pixel density of 267ppi.
LG will also show off a 7-inch screen with a 1920×1200 resolution giving it a 324ppi pixel density. Currently we have seen the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD, which has a 1280×800 resolution giving it a 216PPI.
We can also expect to see a 12.9-inch QSXGA display with a 2560×1700 resolution. This display is targeted at ultrabooks. To put things into perspective, the 13-inch (display size is 13.3-inches) MacBook Pro with a Retina Display has a resolution of 2560×1600. We also expect to see 13.3-inch laptop displays with a 2mm bezel making them ultra slim.
All the above-mentioned displays will use AH-IPS (advanced high performance in-plane switching) display technology. Apart from smartphones and tablets; LG also has TV displays to show off this year at CES 2013.
LG plans to bring UHD (Ultra High Definition) TVs with a 3840×2160 pixel resolution. The display will be shown off in 55-inches, 65-inches and 84-inches. These TV’s will use LG’s FPR 3D tech. A 4K2K 30-inch PC monitor packs even more pixels – 4096×2160 will also makes its debut at the event.
LG’s 55-inch WRGB OLED TV, which was shown off at CES 2012, will also make an appearance at CES 2013. The TV has a 4mm bezel and weighs a mere 3.5kg.
If you were contemplating picking up a TV or a laptop or a smartphone in the coming days, we’d suggest you hang on for a bit as there are some amazing devices that may hit store shelves as early as Q1 2013.
