"Samsung's new driver IC generates color using an entirely new driving method called sub-pixel unit driving methodology. Contrary to existing color display methods that express color pixel by pixel, this new method creates color at the sub-pixel level representing more than two data lines from the same pixel. By composing a new pixel with the sub-pixel on the adjacent scanning line, 480x640 VGA resolution can be attained from a 240x640 panel. The device can display up to 260K colors for TFT-LCD panels in mobile phones...Samsung Electronics plans to begin using its VGA TFT-LCD driver IC on high-end mobile phone models in the second quarter of 2005. The company will then steadily expand its application to other product lines."

VGA resolution for cell phone screens. 8) Now that cell phones are morphing into smart phones, camera phones, media players and navigation aids; the VGA resolution screens with up to 260K colors would really help. And since Samsung will be launching it in second quarter next year, can't help dreaming and hoping for it be on my next Smartphone.
