Sharp has announced that it’s building next-generation LCDs using IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) technology. This new approach first made headlines just before Apple launched the iPad 3, when it was rumored that Sharp would provide panels for the high-resolution tablet, but manufacturing difficulty reportedly led to Apple opting for aconventional S-IPS LCD panel instead.
Sharp has since ironed out these problems and is now manufacturing a 32-inch 3840×2160 panel, a 10-inch 2560×1600 panel, and a 7-inch 1280×800 one as well. IGZO functions as a replacement for amorphous silicon (a-SI). Because its electron mobility (the speed with which electrons can move through it) is up to 40x higher than a-SI’s, it allows for smaller pixels (higher resolution) displays, thinner wiring, and improved response time.
