South Korea's Samsung develops dual-sided LCD (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070107/tc_afp/skoreaitsamsunglcd)
Samsung Electronics has developed a liquid crystal display panel that can show a different image on each side of the same screen, which is a world first, the company said.
The new dual-sided thin film transistor LCD panel was expected to make mobile phones much slimmer and more differentiated in design, the South Korean company said in a statement.
The panel, 2.22 inches (5.6 centimeters) wide, will be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2007 in Las Vegas from Monday through Thursday.
Samsung Electronics claimed the panel to be "the first product to display two different images "back to back" on the same screen.
The new product differed from existing double-sided LCD products which consisted of simply two panels and displayed an image on one side and its reverse on the other, it said.
