Sharp displays showed freeform
Japanese Sharp today unveiled a prototype of the display, which can be made in any form completely, and not just in the traditional rectangular appearance. The new display called Free-Form, a rectangular shape is not required, as the display control circuit is dissipated over the entire surface, not only around the front panel. "Traditional displays have angles, so as to require a minimum width of the front surface to the manufacture under these could create a control circuit. Such schemes are distributed around the screen and another can not work. In the case of Free-From the control circuit is implemented differently, it is tied to an individual pixel on the screen.
This allows the control circuit to take any form ", - told the Sharp. According to engineers Sharp, the new displays are based on proprietary technology IGZO, allowing to achieve high-quality images as well as a number of other proprietary patented technology, which Sharp says not yet. company notes that model using Free-Form Display can create displays for cars, information and entertainment systems, mobile devices, wearable electronics and so on.
Moreover, the new displays in cars Free-Form will allow to create a monolithic dashboard, which will be displayed as the current speed, total kilometers and movies, websites, etc. While the company says nothing about the launch date of the product on the market, but states that mass production, it plans to begin "as soon as possible." Earlier, the "wrong" displays also showed South Korean LG and Samsung. The last two showed video screens with concave and curved smartphones.
