LG’s display making unit officially introduced the new Quad HD LCD display that will equip the G4, dueat the end of the month.
Like the display on the G3 before it, this new panel is a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display of Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels, 538 ppi). However, LG Display claims that, despite the similarity to last year’s panel, this new one is a “quantum jump in terms of key features, including color gamut, brightness, contrast ratio, touch function, power consumption and thinness.”
These advancements have been made possible by three key features of the new panel: high color gamut LED, Advanced In-Cell Touch (AIT), and photo-alignment.
High color gamut means that the display on the LG G4 will feature 120% of the sRGB gamut, which in layman’s term means the display will be able to render more colors and hues compared to other devices. Red and green colors in particular will be more true to life, boasts LG Display.
Advanced In-Cell Touch is LG’s evolution of the conventional in-cell touch technology. LG is not providing any details on what makes this version “advanced,” but the company claims it will provide a slimmer design and great responsiveness.
Finally, photo-alignment means that LG is using UV rays to better align the liquid crystals making up the display, which prevents light leakage and improves contrast ratios.
LG claims that the new display features 50 percent higher contrast ratios compared to other Quad HD LCDs, a well as 30 percent higher brightness, without an increased power consumption.
While LG Display has not specifically named the G4 in its press release, it all but confirms it, by calling it “LG’s forthcoming flagship smartphone to be unveiled at the end of the month.” LG will introduce the G4 on April 28 with multiple worldwide events, including one in New York that Android Authority will attend.
