Display, touch panels: Technological road maps

Specification

Planned upgrades

Thickness of display panels

For example:
For 7-inch WSVGA, from 2.35mm
currently to 2mm in 2H11 and to 1.9mm in 2012;
for 10.1-inch WXGA, from 2.8mm to 2.3mm

Thickness of glass substrates

Increasing use of 0.3mm and 0.4mm glass substrates in place of 0.5mm at 5G plants; 0.5mm glass substrates have been adopted at 6G plants

Power saving

For 7-inch WSVGA panels, from 2.5W to 2W and further to 1.7W in 2H12; for 10.1-inch panels, from 3.6W to 2.7W and further to 2.2W by the end of 2012

Resolution

1280×800 for 7-inch panels and 1920×1200 for 10.1-inch panels in 2H12

Luminance (brightness)

500-600nits with 1,000:1 contrast at the end of 2012

Thickness of cover lens (glass)

From 0.7mm to 0.4mm in 2H12

Thickness of touch sensors

From 0.5mm to 0.33mm

Multi-touch

From 2-10 to more than 10

Manufacturing process of touch sensors

From out cell to on-cell, and further to in-cell
