This summer, Sharp has launched a smartphone with screen edges so thin that it seems that there is not even. Today, LG unveiled a screen that has even thinner screen edges ! Totally awesome and completely baffling even.

The new 5.3-inch LCD LG has edges 0.7 mm on the sides . The company says it is the finest available for curbs screen smartphone. In addition to this unique feature of its kind, the LCD panel has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and uses new technologies "Neo Edge" and "Advanced In-Cell Touch [AIT]" LG to keep the extremely thin thing and thus considerably reduce the edges of the screen.
Neo Edge allows LG to use an adhesive instead of double sided tape to secure and completely seal the edges of the circuit board and the backlight of the screen, blocking the light leaks. This "borderless" screen, is also resistant to water and dust. Indeed, the use of adhesive instead of a double-sided tape also prevents a possible formation of corrosion occurring at the edges of the screen. More, and to top it off, LG emphasizes that the smoothness of edges can improve the strength of the slab because the elasticity increases as the adhesive used to seal the slab hardens.
The technology AIT, in turn, reduces the need for space on the edges since the touch screen is a part of the LCD module.
The image below shows a screen next to a credit card, the thickness is about 0.8 mm. As you can see, it is a bit thicker than the edge of the screen.
Personally, this is not a problem for me to have the screen edges on the side of a smartphone that is not the thickness of a credit card, avoiding the passage launching an application not desired in the grip of the smartphone. However, if you've always dreamed of a world where the glass surface of the screen of your smartphone or tablet could be used to display the content, it seems that more is not done in this direction.
LG says it will begin mass production of the screen in the month of November , with first deliveries to Chinese manufacturers thereafter. Will we see this technology applied with the LG G4? We hope.
