LG G4 display

LG today announced a new 5.5-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) LCD that it will be using on its “forthcoming flagship smartphone to be unveiled at the end of the month.”

The new display achieves a “quantum jump in color gamut and brightness.” LG’s press release boasts that the display features a 120 percent color gamut, a 30 percent increased brightness over its previous 5.5-inch Quad HD display without any increase in power consumption, and a 50 percent higher contrast ratio than “conventional QHD LCD panels.”

The new panel features Advanced In-Cell Touch (AIT) that offers greater touch sensitivity. The display is able to respond to touch even with water droplets being present on the screen.

Mr. Byeong-Koo Kim, Vice President of the IT/Mobile Development Group at LG Display said, “The company has maximized the essential display functions for mobile devices from touch to color gamut by using the latest technology and accumulated expertise.” He added, “LG Display will continue to develop products that can offer the best user experience not only for smartphones, but also for tablets and notebook PCs.”

The display also received certification from Interek — the leader in product safety testing and certification — for its superior color gamut, brightness and contrast ratio.

LG is all set to unveil the G4 on April 28.
