(InfoWorld) - The experience of watching television or video clips on mobile phones may improve with a new screen being developed by LG.Philips LCD Co. The company has developed a new TFT-LCD (thin-film transistor-liquid crystal display) panel for mobile phones that has better response times than similar screens in use today, it announced Thursday. Faster response times help to eliminate the after-images and ghosting that can appear on LCD screens, leading to sharper, better quality video. The 2-inch display has a 16 millisecond response time, compared to 25 milliseconds for today's typical phone screen, LG.Philips said. The screen will be ideal for phones that can receive TV broadcasts or connect to broadband wireless networks for downloading videos. LG.Philips developed a different technology from that used in its notebook PC panels, to meet the power consumption demands of mobile phones. LG.Philips expects to start mass producing the new display this year. It came out of a new unit the company launched in January to develop smaller displays. That unit is now working on a display that uses IPS (in-plane switching), a technology typically used in larger displays that increases the viewing angle. Mobile phones need to be increasingly capable as operators upgrade their networks to offer higher-speed connections. The new services create a need for better screens, faster chips and more memory capacity. Just last week Samsung Electronics Co.Â said it had developed a new technology toÂ make screens on handheld devices brighter, even in broad daylight. It measures the ambient light available and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly. The technology is expected in handsets later this year. Â

(InfoWorld) - Sierra Wireless will provide embedded wide-area wireless modules to a new Intel ultra mobile PC (UMPC) platform that enabling devices to hook up to 3G (third generation) wireless telecommunications, creating a new way to use a UMPC. Until now, UMPCs from most companies, includingÂ Samsung Electronics and Asustek Computer, have included two wireless functions, WLAN (wireless LAN) for wireless Internet connections in a home, office, or other location near a Wi-Fi hot spot, and Bluetooth. Few other UMPCs, save Sony's Vaio VGN-UX50, which offers Cingular EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment) WAN capabilities, provide a way to connect to the Internet away from civilization. The wireless modules from Sierra, a Vancouver, British Columbia chip designer, will allow users to remain connected far out in the field, and lead to the development of many innovative, new UMPC devices, the company said. Intel plans to make itsÂ ultra mobile PC chip kitÂ available in the first half of next year, the company said at the Intel Developer Forum, which ended Thursday. The company said the microprocessors in the platform will consume just half the power of ones used in current UMPCs, and will be 25 percent smaller. The chip kit is designed to allow developers to make smaller, cooler running UMPCs with longer battery life and new possible uses, Intel said. The UMPC, code-named Origami earlier this year, is a new breed of handheld deviceÂ promoted by Microsoft and IntelÂ aimed at users requiring more PC-like functions and larger screens in a carry-around device. It falls somewhere between a tablet PC and a PDA in size, and runs on the Windows XP Tablet Edition OS. One of the first such devices was viewed by users at the Cebit electronics show in Germany early this year,Â Samsung's Q1. The device was running on a 900MHz Intel Celeron microprocessor and boasted 500MB of RAM.
