New Sharp LCD controller allows dual displays on mobile devices with half-XGA resolution
Apart from displaying two different pieces of content on two different screens at the same time (the resolution is the highest “in the industry”, according to Sharp), the controller makes it possible to view pictures in full HD (1,920 x 1,080i at 60 Hz or 1,920 x 1,080p at 24 Hz) on externally connected TVs, projectors etc.
Sharp says samples are already available and cost $27 each. The company is expecting mass production (100,000 units per month) to begin in September this year.
