Most modern smartphones already have this to a certain extent, I don't think that what Nokia calls 'zero gap screen' is much different from what we see today. All iPhones since the iPhone 4 have this, same with the Samsung Galaxy line (at least since the SIII, I didn't follow them before), and I'm sure most other mid/high end phones also use this. It's not only a question of improving display quality, this method allows manufacturers guarantee that there will be no dust between the lcd and the touch panel. It also makes the display module thinner, but then makes repair much more difficult - you either have to replace the entire module or painstakingly separate the LCD from the glass.
- joezydeco 12y agoThe technique is called "optical bonding", where an adhesive is poured on the LCD front glass and then the touchscreen/cover glass is adhered to the LCD. The upside is that the assembly can be thinner and the LCD closer to the user, but the downside is what you said. Impossible to repair.
