LG reveals 5.3-inch display with world’s thinnest bezels

LG over the weekend officially announced its development of a 5.3-inch Full HD LCD panel that rocks the world’s thinnest bezels. Dropping at only 0.7mm thick, its bezels are even thinner than a credit card’s!

The trend for large display sizes, according to the South Korean giant, is growing. To address this they’re introducing new technologies to stretch the displays larger without making the entire form factor increase in size, sacrificing grip and design.

The company uses a tandem of two new technologies namely the “Neo Edge” and “AIT” technology. The Neo Edge module processing technology basically uses an adhesive instead of a double-sided tape to seal the edges of the panel. This not only makes it possible to utilize minimal bezel width, but it also blocks light leakage and is both waterproof and dust-proof.

The Advanced In-cell Touch (AIT) technology, on the other hand, merges the touch panel into the LCD module. This eliminates the need for extra bezel space, while keeping costs low since they no longer need to spend for a separate process for touch functions.

Mass production will begin this month with China seeing the first batch and global introduction following after.

With razor-thin bezels like these, the whole display is just screaming and popping out from your hands as seen in the photos. Would you pay for a phone with this kind of display? Why or why not? Share those thoughts below.

Sharp Aquos 304SH smartphone, Full HD with razor-thin bezels

Sharp is reported to launch a new model under the Aquos line that might appeal to those who are picky when it comes to their viewing preferences. The Aquos Xx 304SH sports a 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 display with bezels that are extremely thin. This smartphone isn’t all for show since it’s IPX5/IPX7 certification also makes it water-resistant and dust proof.

Sharp Aquos Xx 304SH specs:
5.2-inch IGZO display @ 1920 x 1080 resolution
2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor
Adreno 330 GPU
2GB RAM
32GB storage (expandable to 128GB via microSD)
13MP rear camera with f/1.9 aperture and “PureLED” flash
2.1MP front camera
IPX5/IPX7-certified
Wi-Fi, IR blaster, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC
2600mAh battery

A list was made that shows the LG G2 at the top and currently holding the record for having the largest percentage of display size to bezel with 76%. This means that 76% of the face of the device is dedicated to the screen. The Xx 304SH’s display, on the other hand, is believed to cover 79% of the screen. When this is confirmed and the handset comes out, Sharp might just steal away the title from LG.

The Aquos Xx 304SH is expected to launch in Japan this coming May, but pricing is still unconfirmed. There are also no announcement as to what other countries will be getting this somewhat bezel-less smartphone, if there are any.

Personally, I like its thin bezels that make it feel like you’re almost holding just the screen of the phone. Then again, I’m the kind of a smartphone user who’s been waiting for exactly that – a borderless glass phone. Your thoughts on the bezel?
