Samsung Phones to Slim Down with New LCD Display

"Samsung SDI has developed the slimmest liquid crystal display (LCD) for mobile phones, breaking the record set by its sister firm Samsung Electronics only three months ago. The display maker said the new prototype module is only 0.74 millimeters thick, while Samsung Electronics’ product is 0.82 millimeters. SDI also said it will start mass-producing a 1.9-millimeter-thick LCD module from the second quarter of the year, which is also the slimmest among commercially available ones. The 1.9-millimeter module will fit into Samsung Electronics’ ``Ultra Edition II’’ series which is scheduled to hit the market this spring. The 0.74-millimeter version is to be equipped in Samsung’s next-generation phones, the company said."



I wonder at what point the phones get so slim that they become too fragile. Imagine trying to tuck a folded piece of paper between your ear and your shoulder.

Wow! Can you imagine version 2 of the Blackjack could be half as thick! That's amazing.

Yeah but maybe twice as fragile?

Bah! They just need a nice hard shell - like titanium or something. You know you'll buy one.

Tech like this can help make slider form-factor devices like the Vox loose some mm around their waist.

Check out this article for the photo. The display is as thin as a credit card.
