SAMSUNG developing a new thin line of LCD displays for its Laptops

Samsung is working on a new high color display panel for its 15.6” notebooks

It seems as if a lot of work is going on in the R&D lab of Samsung - there is a rumor that it is developing a thin but color-accurate, RGB LED backlit display panel for its 15.6” notebooks – as reported by Digitimes. The RGB LED backlight will offer rich and accurate colors while maintaining a thin LCD frame. The normal LCD’s are dominated by blue colors - as a result they reduce the improvement in red and green colors, whereas the new RGB displays treat all colors alike and hence produce a rich and vivid image.
The resolution and other specifications haven’t been released as of now; however as is characteristic of a 15.6” display it may support 16:9 aspect ratio with matching resolutions of 1366x768, 1600x900 or 1920x1080. The shipments may only arrive during the second half of this year. One thing is sure that these displays are going to cost a lot more and would be restricted to high end ultra thin and light notebooks.
This may not be the first time one got to see such a technology, as Dell already offers an option of RGB backlight in one of its 16” studio XPS notebooks. The problem is that it hasn’t made wider use of its screens. Let’s see if Samsung can leverage the 16:9 aspect ratio of its new screens.
