Samsung and LG To Showcase New LCD Panels for Tablets

If you were one of those that were disappointed by the iPad 2’s not-so-amazing display and were hoping to see Retina Display come to the iPad 2, well there have been some recent developments and both companies have announced that they are going to produce high-density LCD screens for future tablet devices.

As both Samsung and LG are the manufacturers for the iPad LCD displays it would not be surprising if it turns out that the iPad 3 will be the one that will receive the Retina Display treatment, or perhaps something even better than Retina Display.

LG say that it will showcase a full range of ‘ultra high resolution’ Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS) panels ranging from 3.5 inches to 84 inches, and including the 9.7-inch format used in the iPad at this year’s SID (Society for Information Display) event 2011 which will be held from the 15th May to 20th May.

Samsung will also make an appearance at the event demonstrating its very own 10.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) format PenTile RGBW tablet display, an ultra-high resolution LCD which according to the company is the first of its kind in the industry.

“Samsung’s PenTile display technology is the only display technology that operates at 40 percent less power yet provides twice that of Full HD-viewing performance for consumers compared to legacy RGB stripe LCDs. There is no other commercial display technology on the market today that offers this high of a resolution and pixel density in a 10.1-inch size display,” said Dr. Sungtae Shin, Senior VP of Samsung Electronics.
