AU Optronics develops uber-thin mobile display

AU Optronics isn't messing around when it comes to improving the displays that you're forced to look at each time that boss / SO / telemarketer rings you up, and just months after developing a screen with a sub-one-millimeter border, the firm is now tooting its horn again after crafting what it calls the "world's thinnest 1.9-inch mobile device panel." The unit measures in at just 0.69-millimeters, and since we know it's tough to visualize something that skinny, how's this for reference? It's about "13-percent slimmer than a credit card." Granted, it doesn't seem to include any type of protective covering, but it is said to weigh just 2.2-grams and boast 400 nits of brightness. Just make sure you exercise caution when smashing through your contact list in a fit of fury on this thing, okay?

Damn, if this keeps up people will soon be keeping their cell phones in their wallets. Sounds like quite a bit of exaggeration, but at this rate just a few years could make some incredible advancements.

That's nothing, with RAZR V3, you'll be afraid it may cut your mom in half.
