Samsung announced the slimmest mobile LCD display
November 22nd, 2006
Samsung announced a prototype 0.82mm thick QVGA (240×320) LCD display, which makes it the thinnest display in the world, 0.07mm thinner than the panel previously reported to be the world’s slimmest. A typical mobile LCD screen has a 2-3mm space before adding a reinforced plastic sheet to protect it.
In Samsung’s new i-Lens process, a shock-resistant protective sheet is fastened directly to the LCD module, thereby eliminating the space between it and the panel surface.
The display has a contrast ratio of 500:1 and a luminosity of 300nits. Mass production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2007.

This is something we should probably use in the future as dynamic-content business cards, it’s the kind of tehnology we’ve been waiting for and makes us glad it’s finally here (plus, it will render present generation lcd panels cheaper :D)
