Sharp Reported to be Working on the Highest Smartphone Display Panel

Every smartphone manufacturer is competing to release the highest resolution of screen display. Just 3 years ago, the highest resolution is at 720p (1280 x 720) and with density of 300ppi. As time goes by and with larger screen display trend, manufacturer companies were looking to manufacture higher resolution to maintain the high PPI count. Thus the screen resolution becomes HD (1280 x 720) then becomes FHD (1920 x 1080) and the latest is QHD (2560 x 1440).

Some wonders is it even worth it to have such a high density pixel on a 5-inch screen in the expense of precious battery life? Even the OEMs are going towards the QHD slowly. Sony on the other hand said that it does not think that QHD is worth even on an 8-inch screen. The company is rumoured to equip the next Xperia with a 1440p panel.

According to a Japan-based media, Sharp is currently is working on the next generation of smartphone LCD panels with 4096 x 2160 (4K) resolution. The rumor said that Sharp was pressured to develop the pixel-dense screen due to demand from China. The company is ready for mass production in 2016 and it will be used in 5-inch or 6-inch displays.

The report also claims that Sharp is working on improving the quality of LTPS LCD panels by implementing a in-house developed method of using polycrystalline silicon fused with glass which in the end will produce more transparent and more vibrant display panel. The silicon is made of high purity multicrystalline form of silicon.

Lastly, rumor also said that Sharp is currently has a 600ppi phone display panel ready which should be released in China market starting in early next fiscal year.

Vivo likely to arrive with 3.8mm thickness slimmest smartphone: Pictures

Well, the recent Oppo R5 announcement puts the Chinese maker with the monopoly of having the slimmest smartphone on the planet with 4.8mm thickness. Now it seems that another Chinese manufacturer Vivo might be in race to take dominance over this as reports show that it might release a handset with just 3.8mm thickness. The company (Vivo) has recently showed off its handset having an ultra-slim 3.8mm of thickness.

Well, you can once again read the above statement as the 3.8mm reality seems to be getting true very soon. There is also another image of the company’s handset kept along side the iPhone5s. This makes the iPhone 5s that currently seems to be slim suddenly seems to be obese in comparison.

With such a thin body, some obvious questions start arising as to the built-quality, durability and yes most important of all is how big could the battery back-up for the phone be. The durability can surely be met with a lithium-aluminum design (similar to the one that was spotted in the recently launched Oppo N3) of the handset but how about the battery?

As more exciting details from Vivo arrives, we surely will make it a point to bring it them to you. Stay tuned!
