Sharp is the first to successfully mass produce IGZO, an innovative compound that replaces the industry standard amorphous silicon material used for the active layer in thin-film transistors (TFTs).

IGZO's advantages are:
• Super high-resolution and clarity: IGZO's transistors are much smaller than traditional LCDs and have significantly higher electron mobility. Therefore, more data can be shown in a single display, creating a stunningly detailed image -- up to four times that of conventional full-HD or 1080p LCDs.
• Ultra-low power consumption: IGZO can maintain the onscreen data for a certain period of time without refreshing the data, even when the current is off. This helps cut back the power consumption to achieve longer battery life for displays.
• High performance touch response: Compared to conventional LCDs, IGZO displays have drastically minimized the noise caused during touch input. This allows for quick, easy, more natural-feeling writing and smooth lines.

While the possibilities for this technology are far reaching, Sharp is already implementing IGZO technology in its displays, notebooks, tablet PC, monitors and smartphones available today.

The future looks expensive.

Marvel's next super villain: IGZO...

Mayan's never said the world would end, it was just a change of cycles that happens every specific amount of years --' I'm sick of people thinking all what they see on movies is real because in the movie they say so -.-

No, you can do anuthing on iphone, mucho more than on a sharp phone because iPhone gets all apps

[Robert Callaghan]

your pockets that is.

[Daniel Intrieri]

igzo will kill all of those koreans

IGZO cost the same as LG's WOLED or Hitachi's IPS TFT but I think IGZO look the most natural out of 3. Just look at sh-02e or 930w.

This technology is THE display technology bar none.

Sharp is in bad shape but Samsung just injected over a 100,000,000 USD due to this amazing LCD technology.

Way to go Sharp anomalous materials researchers !

This chemistry and fab process will be THE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY for the 21st century.

Organic semiconductors are really the most obvious advancement we could have made. It's obvious stuff that opens our eyes...

[Doan Arslan]

If i see this kind of technology in next gen iphone..... Im sold :D

[Laura E.T.]

lol, that was exactly what I was thinking as I was watching this.
