This world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel will provide larger visible display space on smartphones, critical as mobile devices are used for multimedia viewing more than ever before," LG noted in a press release.

Each pixel on the panel contains RGB sub-pixels with maximum brightness of 535nits which is far better than the current Full HD LCD panels.
