LG Display debuts five-inch Retina Display killer.

Smartphone displays are becoming larger in size, and along with that, we're seeing a nice trend that's bringing greater pixel density. While LG Display's newly-announced 1080p HD mobile display isn't the most pixel dense that we've seen -- a distinction that belongs to Toshiba -- the five-inch panel is more appropriate for consumer applications and boasts an impressive pixel density of 440ppi. Its 16:9 aspect ratio was designed with HD content in mind, and the LCD technology isn't anything to sneeze at, either: it's a variant of IPS known as Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS), which is said to boast wide viewing angles, fast response times and improved brightness efficiency. Best yet, it seems that consumers won't have long to wait before the panel works its way into consumer technology -- the five-inch HD display is set for availability during the second-half of this year.

Volgens LG kunnen individuele pixels niet meer met het blote oog worden onderscheiden. Bovendien moet AH-IPS (Advanced High Performance In-Plan Switching) zorgen voor betere kijkhoeken en kleuren. Daarnaast zou het scherm sneller reageren op aanrakingen.
