Sony cooking up widescreen mobile display

by Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 5th 2006 at 1:09PM

Some modern phones seem to have enough trouble with battery life as it is without throwing a glorious 16:9 display into the mix. Be that as it may, Sony's hard at work on exactly that, and we admittedly can't help but revel in the thought of dropping one of these suckers into a Sony Ericsson handset somewhere down the line. The screen is apparently only a part of their "RealityMAX" graphics subsystem that'll presumably handle all your MPEG and 3D acceleration needs, and at just under 3 inches long with a 432 x 240 resolution and 262K color depth, we've no doubt that watching a movie (or at least some manner of broadcast television) would be a very rewarding experience indeed.

um, if it's a widescreen, how come the little chip popping out of it that connects to the main board is coming out of the side? shouldn't it be coming out of the bottom for a widescreen? maybe it's for the next-gen cybershot phones. why not, you could just TURN THE PHONE SIDEWAYS to watch a video (reference Pantech SKY IM-R100 article).

Or reference the N73's stereo speakers (top and bottom speakers become stereo L/F when you turn them sideways).

Come to think of it, this isn't all that much bigger than the N73's screen, but it does have more er, horizontal resolution.
