LG Display announced July 5, that it will start mass production of Advanced In-Cell Touch (AIT) panels for notebook PCs, which will make the devices slimmer and lighter, in the second half of this year.
The AIT is an in-cell touch technology that employs a touch sensor embedded within the LCD panel.
The panels with the AIT technology have earlier been introduced for smartphones such as LG G4.
LG Display has already agreed to supply 15.6-inch and 14-inch panels to several global notebook PC brands and the company is engaged in active discussions with customers to supply different panel sizes.
LG Display is also working on an AIT-based panel for pen touch functions.
Byeong-Koo Kim, vice president and head of the IT/mobile development group at LG Display, said, “The AIT technology is the most optimized and best solution to lead the touch embedded notebook PC market as it delivers excellent touch response as well as offering an ultra-slim and light design.” He added, “LG Display will continue to develop products that offer the best user experience, such as QHD high resolution panels and the pen touch function products.”
