Company has received orders from ‘several’ PC vendors
In-cell displays, which are becoming increasingly popular among thinness-obsessed smartphone makers, could soon be commonplace in the laptop market too. South Korean company LG says the Advanced In-Cell Touch (AIT) display technology found in its latest Android flagship, G4, is ready to graduate to bigger screens.
Its in-cell display technology — in which the touch layer is embedded in the display panel itself — will soon be available in 14- and 15.6-inch notebooks from a number of global PC vendors, LG said today, adding that this is the first instance of the technology being used in such large displays. It believes these embedded touch displays could help render laptops both thinner and lighter.
“The technology eliminates the space needed for a touch function cover glass, and as a result reduces the panel’s thickness by 1 millimeter (approximately 25 percent) and its weight by 200 grams (approximately 35 percent) compared to a conventional 15.6-inch touch-embedded panel with Full HD resolution,” the company said in a press release. “It also offers a brighter and clearer screen picture since there is no light loss or light reflection caused by the cover glass. In addition it features an excellent touch response and precise calibration of the touch point even with water drops on the screen.”
