Scientists at the University of California have developed a new display technology that uses a liquid filled with highly charged plastic-coated iron oxide particles, which by repelling one another form an ordered structure called colloidal photonic crystal. This substance can then be controlled with a magnet placed behind it.

The microscopic spacing between the particles allows them to reflect light.

The slimmest TFT-LCD panel was announced today by LG Philips LCD. The thickness is only 1.3 mm, making this LCD the slimmest in the world.

This technological breakthrough will enable mobile phone manufacturers to produce mobile phones even slimmer than the 6.9 mm thick phones available today. This panel will also make it possible to create slide-up phones that break the 10 mm barrier.

LG Philips LCD plans to unveil its 1.
