June 19, 2017 (Tokyo, Japan) - Japan Display Inc. (JDI) today announced the mass production start of a FULL ACTIVE^TM LCD, which has a slim bezel design on all four display sides, and a display aspect ratio of 18:9 for smartphone devices.

The FULL ACTIVE^TM LCD was achieved by adopting a new high-density wiring layout, and new processing and module assembly technologies. Combined, these new technologies enabled JDI to reduce the width of the bottom bezel to be as narrow as the other three sides.

This newly-designed LCD module structure will allow the size of a smartphone device to be nearly the same as the display size. It is expected that these features will contribute to create entirely new smartphone designs.

In addition, this LCD module is JDI's proprietary second-generation Pixel Eyes^TM, which has thinner borders, a deeper black level, and can operate even with wet fingers.

JDI remains committed to continuously offering superior display products featuring advanced technologies, based on our core LTPS technology.
