LG Display announced on September 9 that it has developed the world’s first LCD display panel for 23.8-inch full-HD monitors supporting WiDi, Intel’s wireless image transmission technology. 

The new product is designed to provide an imaging solution that directly receives and interprets a WiDi signal with its core chip built into the LCD module. As such, the development of WiDi-supporting monitors is expected to be facilitated down the road along with the improvement of the quality of wireless images. 

Until recently, TV manufacturers have supplied a quantity of WiDi-supporting smart TV sets, but the rate of adoption has been relatively low in the monitor market, and what few products there are have been sold at a price point of 20% to 30% more than other models. In addition, the wireless transmission and reception of video has been impossible without a WiDi chip on the display panel, even if a laptop or desktop PC supports the technology. This new development of LG Display, however, is expected to enable the use of WiDi-based displays without additional cost burdens on the part of manufacturers and consumers alike. 

LG Display is planning to unveil the WiDi-supporting LCD panel at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF), which is scheduled between September 10 and 12 in San Francisco.
