> Sharp LCD Screen Doubles As Image Sensor
Bookmark topic
The new 2.6-inch VGA (640×480) LCD was unveiled at the ISSCC 2007 event in San Francisco and will be used to add touch-panel input functionality as well as biometric capabilities to mobile devices like phones and PDAs.

Apparently other companies have developed similar LCDs in the past but Sharp’s version allows for a higher resolution output from the sensor at a low cost.The real breakthrough made by Sharp was a proprietary TFT fabrication technology called the continuous grain (CG)-Silicon TFT process.
Unfortunately at the moment there is no information on when this technology might be included in future mobile devices.

Now that screen should be used in the M600, W950, P990 successor(s). Just great!
