Seoul, Korea (October 15, 2007) - LG.Philips LCD [NYSE: LPL, KRX: 034220], a leading innovator of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) technology, announced today that it has developed a 2.4-inch a-Si TFT-LCD panel with the world’s thinnest border for use in mobile phones.
The borders on the left and right sides of this 2.4-inch qVGA-resolution (240×320) LCD panel measure just 1 mm each. This is about 50 percent thinner than most a-Si TFT-LCD panels currently produced, which generally have borders measuring closer to 2 mm.
The display is based on LG.Philips LCD’s Narrow Bezel Technology, combining Gate in Panel technology (GIP), which integrates the driver IC onto the LCD panel, and new process and material technologies designed to ensure that narrow-border panels are equal in quality and reliability to their wider counterparts.
Along with module thickness, border width is the most important factor in creating a slimmer, compact TFT-LCD panel in the 2 and 3-inch market. By narrowing the borders on either size of the panel, LG.Philips LCD was able to increase display area by a full 10 percent, allowing electronics makers to incorporate panels with much larger viewable areas into existing product frames.
LG.Philips LCD plans to start mass production of these new panels next year. The company will also apply the same technology to other models to expand its lineup of slim border products.
Hyun He Ha, Executive Vice President and Head of the Small & Medium Displays Business Unit at LG.Philips LCD said, “Competition in the market for mobile phone displays has shifted from a race for higher picture quality to a race for slimmer panels. Now our focus is on creating slimmer borders. Our latest breakthrough reaffirms that LG.Philips LCD leads the industry in technology for small and medium displays as well as large screen panels. We will continue to develop products that meet the demands of our customers and the market to generate value for our customers.”
LG.Philips LCD will showcase this 1 mm border TFT-LCD panel for mobile phones to global buyers at FPD International 2007, being held at Yokohama, Japan, from October 24 to 26, 2007.

NBAA, Atlanta, GA, USA – Avionics display specialist Barco has been selected to supply LCD-based multi-function cockpit displays with an open architecture for Honeywell Aerospace. The displays will serve as upgrades for CRT-based displays used with Honeywell’s Primus 1000, 2000, 2000XP, SPZ-8400, 8500 and SPZ-8000 avionics systems
“We believe Barco’s display technology will allow us to integrate our latest avionics applications while offering growth capabilities for future communication, navigation, surveillance and Air Traffic Management functionality,” said Chad Cundiff Vice President Marketing and Product Management, Honeywell Aerospace
“We are pleased to be able to add this new, important chapter to our relationship with Honeywell,” stated Yves Vanhauwaert, General Manager of Barco’s Avionics division. “With a market potential of approximately 5000 aircraft, this agreement marks a major landmark for Barco in the civil aviation market place,” he adds.
For this project, Barco develops two types of DO-178B and DO-254 level A compliant displays that are backwards compatible with Honeywell’s legacy CRT units to ensure quick and easy replacement. Integrating Barco’s proven avionics building blocks, the retrofit displays will provide pilots with the same performance and flexibility as the most sophisticated cockpits in operation today. The displays’ modular open architecture (MOSArt™) creates a flexible host platform for Honeywell’s latest, state-of-the-art applications, including electronic charts, maps, weather and video display capabilities.
First prototype of the new retrofit displays will be demonstrated at the NBAA Annual Meeting and Convention, booth 2320.
