Looks like interesting stuff, anything to help get better visibility on smartphones in daylight is a big move for technology.

This kind of thing fascinates me. You look at a piece of technology, say the Galaxy S3 for example, and wonder to yourself "what on earth ca they do to improve the hardware for an S4?"

And then you start to reports of little things like really awesome glass, new thinner higher density lower power and brighter screens (like the 5" 1080p screen Sharp have been showing), new more efficient and significantly faster memory modules (like Samsung announced recently) and you soon realise the next round of portable and handheld releases really will be another jump up from where we are.

All the little technology improvements soon add up to something significant over the space of 6-9 months.

It's all about marginal gains isn't it? Happens everywhere - take GB cycling for example, all through the Olympics Dave Brailsford was banging on about "Marginal Gains" ie improving a little bit here, and a little bit there and all of a sudden, you put them all together and you've got a squad that can win nearly everything on 2 wheels at the Olympics, straight after winning the Tour de France.... it's the same with tech. Get a little improvement in the screen here, a slightly faster memory module there and in a few months, the little things add up to a massive leap in performance.

"Anti-reflecting coating"

That has to win awards for being one of the most watered down diagrams in history.

I wonder what the reflectance of the underlying LCD panel itself is?
