LG Dis­play has announced a 5-​inch, full HD LCD panel with 440ppi pixel den­sity for smart­phones. The LCD panel based on AH-​IPS (Advanced High Per­for­mance In-​Plane Switch­ing) tech­nol­ogy. With 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, the panel is also 0.5 inches larger, 2.2 times denser in pix­els, and 1.3 times more advanced in ppi than the pre­ced­ing 4.5″ panel at 329ppi and 1280×720.

With the high den­sity of AH-​IPS, the naked eye is unable to dis­tin­guish between indi­vid­ual pix­els. AH-​IPS pan­els dis­plays the orig­i­nal color of images with high pre­ci­sion, and fea­tures wide view­ing angle as well as sta­ble dis­play image and rapid touch response speed. Finally, with its brighter light trans­mis­sion and lower power con­sump­tion, AH-​IPS is ideal for use in outdoor.

The 5″ Full HD LCD pan­els are expected to be released dur­ing the 2^nd half of this year, and will be on exhibit for the first time at SID 2012 Dis­play Week in Boston start­ing June 4.
