Tianma Builds Corning’s Lotus NXT Glass Into 2 New LCD Panel Models for Smartphones

Chinese LCD panel maker Tianma successfully incorporated Lotus NXT glass into its 5.46- and 4.97-inch full HD panels for smartphones, Corning said in a Thursday announcement. The panels have resolutions "upward" of 500 pixels per inch, Corning said. The company introduced Lotus NXT glass at last week’s Display Week conference in San Jose, positioning it as an example of new technologies that will protect LCD’s standing as the “dominant technology in displays for very, very many years” (see 1506010034). Lotus NXT glass promotes lower total pitch variation, so LCD TV panel makers can achieve higher pixel counts, better energy efficiency and higher production yields, Corning has said.
