The rumors have been flying for a while now, but HTC has finally officially confirmed that they will be moving to Super LCD screen in some existing AMOLED-sporting phones. The two models listed are the HTC Desire, and the Google Nexus One. Oddly, the very similar HTC Droid Incredible was not mentioned. All these phones currently ship with 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreens, but Samsung (the maker of the AMOLED panels) has been unable to keep up with demand.
AMOLED screens do not use a backlight, are thinner, and generally perform better than regular LCDs. HTC is claiming that the Super LCDs they will be using actually perform better than AMOLED, and have better battery life. This seems like a tall order to us. The screen size and resolution will probably remain the same after the change. Even if the new Super LCDs don't quite match an AMOLED in color vibrancy, they will likely perform better in direct sunlight. Have you ever seen one of these rare Super LCD displays? Let us know what you thought of it.

When I saw "Super LCD" in the headline, my heart jumped cuz I thought it was their version of Apple's "Retina Display". Oh well, guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

j'ai même lu quelque part que les médias sociaux ont dépassé le porno en tant qu’activité N°1 sur le web. Si je me rappelle bien c'est au USA, donc ça va venir ici sous peu. buy dissertation | custom coursework | dissertation writing

I've never seen a "super lcd" screen, but I know the HTC Droid Incredible is impossible to read in sunlight. I love the display of my DINC, but the sun issue has gotten to me a few times here in sunny Florida.
