Viewsonic has been known to deliver quality PC displays and lately, LCD solutions. Now it has added another line to its band of products with the launch of its first smartphone. Viewsonic today announced plans to expand into the 3G smartphone industry, making its 3” – 300” product line a reality. China will be the first region to carry the phones, followed by Europe and the Americas.

This marks ViewSonic’s first product in the smartphone market, but falls in line with the convergence of televisions, computers and mobile phones. As the demand for mobile phone functionality increases, ViewSonic’s heritage in display technology plays an important role in the development of smartphones.

Consumers are demanding larger screens, greater color saturation and contrast to take advantage of new services such as mobile Internet, television and video applications, gaming and eBooks.

Following successful market entries with LCD monitors, LCD TVs, projectors, digital signage displays, digital photo frames, computing products and other display solutions, ViewSonic is well positioned to take advantage of the rapidly expanding 3G smartphone market.
