Next week you’ll hear plenty about displays as SID 2011 kicks off in Los Angeles. We’ve already heard that Samsung plans to showcase its ultra-high resolution 10-inch 2560 x 1600 display but there’ll also be LG showing off ultra-high resolution displays of their own, using AH-IPS technology with display sizes of 3.5″, 4.5″, 7″ and 9.7″ and a few other huge ones for televisions. No word on the actual resolutions on those 7″ and 9.7″ panels. The image referenced in the press release mentions 132 ppi for 9.7″ but that’s 1024 x 768 as the iPad uses, which is hardly “high resolution”. It could just be an old image anyway.
Not many consumer tablets are using high quality displays such as IPS or FFS displays. The only ones that come to mind right now are the iPad, Nook Color and Eee Pad Transformer. Not quite consumer oriented but the ASUS Eee Slate EP121 is another recent addition (FFS display). I suspect the new, thin Galaxy Tabs will have something comparable (forums are flooded with mentions of PLS displays for them)
AH-IPS touts a few features over standard IPS – higher resolutions (up to 1.5 – 2x), lower power consumption and / or higher brightness for better outdoor viewing and even higher color accuracy.
