Sharp Electronics Corporation Device Division (SECD) announced that its new Reflective IGZO (R-IGZO) 5.0-inch Class (diagonal) display for handheld applications is now available in a backlit option. This update provides added flexibility to achieve superb sunlight viewability with incredibly low power consumption.

Samples are available now, with mass production starting in Q1 of 2023.

The 5.0-inch R-IGZO portrait-mode display is ideal for battery-powered, handheld products that require full-color and high-resolution performance in bright outdoor environments.
