LG.Philips develops 2.4-inch a-Si LCD with 1mm bezel

LG.Philips is far from being a newcomer to the cellphone display realm, and while it claimed to have cranked out the "world's slimmest" LCD for mobiles around this time last year, it's now boasting about one with an uber-thin bezel. Reportedly, the outfit has conjured up a 2.4-inch a-Si TFT-LCD, which touts a 320 x 240 resolution and possesses borders of just one-millimeter. The display is based on its Narrow Bezel Technology, and it should start mass production of the panels sometime next year. Notably, no price was mentioned, but the firm did state that it planned on applying the same technology to "other models to expand its lineup of slim border products."

That looks more like a 15mm bezel on the top and bottom and a 30mm on the sides...

If you're showing off how thin you can make a bezel, don't put it in a huge enclosure like that.

I like the way that they demonstrate the worlds thinnest bezel on a unit with the world's fattest bezel. Ever.

Yeah...I know LG...I had to be there, right?

I know, I know....bad angle....lighting this time?

//Similar comment indicating that the bezel isnt thin.


You would have to measure that bezel with stone throws.

Cm'on guys... they even give you a measurement reference of how big 2mm is. and then tell you that this bezel is less than 1mm thick.

I'm amazed and flabergasted.

Meanwhile, the top screen on the Nintendo DS gets smaller... honestly, at first I thought it was the old DS.

At first glance this definitely looks like they have invented a new "2.4 inch narrow bezel", esp with the what it is mounted on.

What is, as you say, "bezel"?
