FollowLG is showing off a new full HD capable 5.2 inch LCD panel which it claims to be the thinnest in the world. The panels measures a measly 2.2 mm thick while having a bezel of just 2.3 mm. This makes it both the slimmest panel while also having the narrowest bezel among all full HD capable LCD panels currently available for use on mobile devices.
