LG introduces world's slimmest smartphone bezels to a virtually non- existent 0.7mm

LG has announced that they have
developed a 5.3-inch Full HD LCD
panel for smartphones, which
vendors claim, has the world’s
narrowest bezel at just 0.7mm . The
company has beaten it’s own
previous records of 2.2mm bezel size
for smartphones.

LG mentions that it had to use two
processes, the neo edge module
processing technology and the
world’s first Advanced In-Cell Touch
(AIT) technology to achieve a bezel
width that is narrower than the
thickness of a credit card. The neo
edge technology sees the use of an
adhesive instead of double-sided
tape to seal the areas around the
panel’s circuit board as well as the
back light unit.

The AIT technology also assists in the
reduction of bezel size, as the touch
panel is embedded into the LCD
module. As there isn’t a need for
another touch component, using this
technology is cost effective for LG as
well.

The smartphone adapts a similar
design from the Sharp Aquos
Crystal which appears to
have almost no bezels around its
borders. LG has worked on
a smartphone which could give us
maximum screen size with
minimal bezels. This way, LG
continues to be a part of an emerging
market which deals in high-resolution
large-size displays for mobile
devices.

Mass production of the new displays
is set for November and LG said it
will ship the first batch to customers
in China. We should hope to see this
cutting-edge technology by the first
or second quarter of 2015.

NEW DELHI: LG Display, the display
arm of South Korean electronics
company LG, has unveiled a new full-
HD LCD display that boasts of
extremely narrow bezels. The new
5.3-inch display has 0.7mm bezels.
LG claims that the bezels are the
world's narrowest.

The company uses "Neo Edge"
module processing technology and
"Advanced In-Cell Touch (AIT)"
technology.

It is worth pointing out that Sharp
had also introduced its Aquous
Crystal smartphone that boasts of
negligible bezels. However, the
phone has a 720p display.

LG Display says the Neo Edge
technology involves the use of an
adhesive instead of double-sided
tape to attach and completely seals
the total area and edges of the
panel's circuit board and backlight
unit.

LG says its AIT technology reduces
the need for bezel space because the
touch panel is embedded into the
LCD module.

LG Display will start mass production
of the panel in November and will
supply its first to customers in China.

"With the growing trend for large
screen smartphones, customer
demand for displays with a narrow
bezel is increasing, because it
enables users to enjoy the maximum
use of screen area without
compromising excellent grip and
design," said Byeong-koo Kim, vice
president and head of IT/Mobile
Development Group at LG Display.

"With this innovative product having
many advantages, ranging from its
narrow 0.7mm bezel and high
resolution picture quality to its slim
design and touch-embedded
solutions, LG Display will continue to
lead the growing market for large
screen smartphones, meeting the
expectations of customers and users
by enhancing the quality of devices,"
said Kim.
