LG Display today unveiled the world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel for smartphones. The display panel is 5.2-inches long and is only 2.2mm thin with a 2.3mm bezel.

"Today's introduction of the world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel represents an exciting advancement for the high-end smartphone segment, and is possible due to our world-class expertise in IPS and touch technologies," said Dr. Byeong-Koo Kim, Vice President and Head of LG Display's IT and Mobile Development Group.
