Sharp Unveils “Free-Form” LCD Display

Sharp, the Japanese electronics maker, has recently unveiled a new type of display that they claim can be morphed into any shape. Forbes reported that the new type of display does not have to adhere to the classical rectangular shape, “Because of the way the drive circuit is dispersed throughout the display area, instead of around the bezel.” The display is subsequently being called “Free-Form.”

In a public statement Sharp explained that, “With the Free-Form Display, the gate driver’s function is dispersed throughout the pixels on the display area. This allows the bezel to be shrunk considerably, and it gives the freedom to design the LCD to match whatever shape the display area of the screen needs to be.” And while no one is exactly clamoring over an oval television set, the breakthrough is still incredibly exciting.

Using this new “Free-Form” technology, display screens can be customized to fit any dimensions someone might need. For example, a car’s dashboard can now theoretically be replaced by one screen that incorporates the speedometer as well as its other monitors. The smartphone field is another industry that could benefit from the new display screen. By no longer having to conform to a rectangle, phone manufacturers can create the perfect screen for any design they come up with.

According to Forbes, Sharp has yet to announce a launch date but that they are anxious to start mass producing their new technology, “At the earliest date possible.” They hope that by removing the restrictions of having a rectangular screen, that innovators will be inspired to create the next generation of electronics.

Sharp is not the only electronic maker to experiment with display design. Samsung revealed its new curved screen television at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show. Nokia has also unveiled their own display, which is foldable and bendable. Titan’s ambitions lead them to produce the worlds largest TV. So, for all you gadget lovers out there, sit up and take notes, because you’re about to have a lot more options.
