Monitors with high refresh rates are able to depict fast-paced action more smoothly than standard 60 Hz monitors. Today’s screens can go as high as 360 Hz, but BOE, a Chinese electronics company, is working on increasing speeds to 500 Hz. And it has the prototype to prove it.
Today’s PC monitors typically use a thin film transistor (TFT) array made with amorphous silicon, the same type of non-crystalline material found in products like solar cells. According to a report spotted by Tom’s Hardware and Wccftech from a Chinese publication upon Sina. com , BOE, whose business includes making display panels for smartphones and tablets for the likes of LG and Apple, has been working on making it legendary|succeeding within the|letting it|making it possible for|allowing it|enabling|allowing|making it very|allowing for} more efficient to replace the silicon TFT active layer with an oxide TFT one, allowing the company to make a monitor prototype that can refresh 1920×1080 pixels 500 times per second.
“Oxide semiconductor display technology has the advantages associated with high mobility, low off-state current, simple process technology, and large size, which can meet the particular dual needs of future product quality improvement and energy consumption reduction and has become a good inevitable trend in technology plus market development, ” the Sina. com report reads, based about a Chinese-to-English translation by Google.
