This display is best viewed from the side. The In Plane Switching (IPS) display from LG.Philips LCD is yet another for mobile handsets, but wideness, not thinness, is the feature intended to set it apart from the rest of the field. The IPS display has a 170-degree viewing angle, which is very wide--almost like watching an LCD TV, said Hyuk Park, of LG.Philips.
According to Park, most older LCD screens on cell phones have 35-degree viewing angles, which doesn't allow you to sneak a peek at the sports scores or TV show clips that the guy sitting next to you on the subway is watching on his handset. With IPS technology in that phone, LG.Philips says, you won't have to strain your neck quite so much.
