Pantech will launch a phone with a 15:9 aspect ratio LCD in Korea this month. The U100 is an EV-DO slider designed to double as a portable media player. Its wide screen more closely matches the format of movies and digital television than traditional 4:3 LCDs. The phone includes a MicroSD slot to store a user's own movies and MP3s, as well as video and music on demand capabilities. It also features a 2 Megapixel autofocus camera.
Samsung today announced a new super-reflective LCD technology for transflective displays. Although the term reflective normally has negative connotations with outdoors viewing, in this case the reflective properties make the display brighter and thus easier to read in bright sunlight. Transflective displays save power over normal TFT LCDs, but often aren't as bright outdoors. The first model to use this new technology is a 128x160 display 3 times brighter than current models. Samsung plans to roll this technology into all its high resolution displays in the future.
