Toshiba Mobile Display Co., Ltd. today announced that it has developed a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel that features a world-class, high-definition 498 pixels-per-inch (ppi) image in a direct-view, compact 6.1-inch screen. Despite the small screen size, the display resolution format is 2,560 × 1,600 pixels, a higher resolution than even the full HD resolution format of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels.



This newly-developed world-class, high-definition LCD panel is based on our processing techniques for forming fine-pitch and high-performance, low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistors (TFT) on glass substrates, and other precise fabrication techniques which have been cultivated over the years. This direct-view LCD panel achieves high-definition images with photographic quality, and although the images are displayed in 2D format, they impart a sense of depth and realism.

This technology will be exhibited at the TMD booth #3601 in the FPD International 2011 exhibition, to be held in Pacifico Yokohama from October 26 to 28, 2011.
