There seems to be the age old debate again raging in the handheld and cellphone sector about LCD technology. Passive and Active Matrix are back! Do you remember when we had dual scan on laptops? Those weren't the days

For a 1.x-inch panel, TFT LCD commands a 70% price premium over a CSTN LCD panel. The actual difference in price varies according to the particular screen size and pixel format. Many manufacturers are taking advantage of this price differential and utilizing CSTN LCDs as the main display for low- to mid-range cell phones, and as the sub-display in high-end clam-shell design cell phones. In the 2.x-inch size range, the TFT LCD price premium compared to CSTN LCDs was 60%, or about US$10, in the first quarter of 2003, and is forecast to decrease to 40%, or just US$6, by mid-2004. This makes TFT LCDs a more attractive option.
