LG Display Intros World's Thinnest 1080p LCD Screen
It paves the way to the rumored Optimus G2 and Nexus 5.
Last week LG Display revealed the world's slimmed Full HD LCD for smartphones, seemingly paving the way for the Optimus G2 and the Nexus 5 slated to arrive in the next few months. Previous reports stated that these two phones will sport a 5.2 inch screen, and sure enough, that's what LG Display showcased on Thursday.
According to the company, the screen measures a mere 2.2 mm thin and sports a 2.3 mm bezel. It's both the slimmest and narrowest among existing Full HD LCD panels designed for mobile devices, and provides larger visible display space on smartphones, the company said. It will also make devices easier to grip as well as lighter in weight.
The new screen is based on LG Display's Advanced One-Glass-Solution (OGS), a new technology built and used for the 5.2 inch panel. It also has dual flexible printed circuits inserted between the panel and the touch film, reducing the number of lines on the panel by more than 30 percent. A direct bonding system has also been used, allowing the company to apply an optical clear resin between the panel and touch film for greater brightness.
LG Display said the new super-slim screen sports a resolution of 1920 x 1080 consisting of red, green and blue sub-pixels, a brightness of 535 nits maximum, and an ambient contrast ratio of 3.74:1 based on 10,000 lux. That should make any smartphone packed with this screen readable even when the user is baking under the hot sun at the beach.
"Today's introduction of the world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel represents an exciting advancement for the high-end smartphone segment, and is possible due to our world-class expertise in IPS and touch technologies," said Dr. Byeong-Koo Kim, Vice President and Head of LG Display's IT and Mobile Development Group. "LG Display will continue its commitment to developing products that maximize consumer value as well as opening new doors for the mobile and tablet PC industry."
The Optimus G2, reportedly sporting a 5.2 inch screen, is expect to be revealed at a special event in New York City on August 7.

If not don't bother me.
I frequently use a bluetooth headset with my phone. Of course, those with a Note II are probably the productive type that have about 4 or 5 headset devices laying around anyway, and would need to be interacting with the screen while on a call anyway.... Of course, that's productive people, so it's likely why you commented the way you did.
and i think larger screens definitely have there place. some people just have a hard time reading things on a small screen and navigating is always easier on a big screen. try clicking tiny links on web pages with a small screen. it is easily done but it is much less tedious on my nexus 7. I wish i could bluetooth by nexus for more than just google voice(well i can forward my calls but without wifi I cannot).
I work with them 5 days a week so I guess I know about it. I've had a note 2 as well and it's too big to be practical
Also most people unless they were real idiots didn't carry a house phone around with them.

I bet you hate left handed mice also.
you work with phones 5 days a week and you do not own a nice pair of in-ear buds w/ a mic or a bluetooth device.
Do you need reading glasses, because if you did this may change your mind about larger screens (60% of Americans are far-sighted)?
i See so many reasons for a bigger screen,
better for viewing vids, pics and porn, but I understand how 5 inches could make you jealous.

1 I can use both hands to manipulate a mouse so it doesn't bother me at all
2 5" phone is a maximum without becoming clumsy or you have massive hands because you are over 6'2"
3 I've got enough " to make you wish you were a women.
