LG's 0.7mm Smartphone Bezel Is World's Narrowest

Posted by timothy on Friday October 31, 2014 @10:48AM from the ok-that's-pretty-neat dept.

SmartAboutThings (1951032) writes "LG Display has announced that it has developed a 5.3-inch Full HD LCD panel for smartphones with the world's narrowest bezel at 0.7mm. It's even thinner than a credit card, making the screen give you the impression that it 'overflows.' The company calls the construction Neo Edge technology; it uses an adhesive instead of double-sided tape to attach and seal the panel's circuit board and backlight unit.

Narrowest *LCD* bezel by timeOday · 2014-10-31 11:34 · Score: 2, Interesting

OLED doesn't particularly need a bezel, by design. Here is a 55" TV with a 1mm bezel.

how will this work with fingers? i had a phone with narrow bezel (galaxy s4) and could not use it. it always assumed i was tapping the sides of screen with my palm, thumb, etc.. there was just no non-interfering way of holding it securely. when i got a case for it, the opposite happened - i could not tap on anything close to the edge. i got rid of it.
