Today Samsung have announced the development of the world's first amorphous silicon (a-Si) seven-inch, single-chip TFT-LCD panel for mobile phones which will produce a resolution up to 800x480 pixels (WVGA-level). The device would be incorporated in mobile phones and other portable devices like DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting), PMP (portable multimedia players) and CNS (car navigation systems). This feat by Samsung has been achieved by thinking out of the box and coming up with a brand new architectural design.

The new chip will take mobile display to the next level and will produce a contrast ratio of 400:1 and a brightness level of 450 nits thanks to Samsung’s exclusive ASG (amorphous silicon gate) technology. This innovative technology embeds the Gate-driver IC function in the surface of the glass panel and at the same time incorporates the T-con function within the Drive-IC.So now thanks to this Samsung will further slim down their phones by decreasing the overall circuit development. This chip will be displayed at the SID (Society for Information Display) Symposium in San Francisco during the first week of June.
