Wide-Screen Format Products

Benefit: LG.Philips LCD’s wide-format (“W” for 16:10 or 16:9 wide-aspect ratio displays) LCDs offer greater horizontal viewing displays that are indicative of modern video devices from HDTV to DVDs. Such wide screens are becoming more popular for conventional desktop computing because they enable simultaneous side-by-side applications, which are known to immediately enhance workplace productivity. The wide-format LCDs also offer users wider viewing angles and slimmer form factors than competitive displays without sacrificing resolution or quality.

Indoor/Outdoor Transflective LCD Products

Benefit: LG.Philips LCD’s newest line-up of transflective LCDs, which uses reflective light in bright environments and uses transmissive backlighting in dark environments, are an ideal solution for a variety of business-related applications where longer battery life and the ability to adapt to various environments and lighting conditions are extremely critical, such as military and police field activities.
