The 2.2in display has a contrast ratio of 2000:1, Sharp said, along with a 176° viewing angle amd an 8ms response time - stats at the forefront of mobile-device display panel technology, the manufacturer claimed.

The panel will get its first public outing tomorrow at the international Flat-Panel Display show in Yokohama.

There's no word yet from Sharp about when the display - or devices that incorporate it - will come to market.
