We have all heard about dual LCDs and 98 % of us already know where one can find them. Almost everyone will tell you straight ahead that this concept has to do with PCs but, as we also know, we can find such a solution implemented on cellphones too. The differences between these two answers are related to the size of the displays.

One can have on its home desktop two huge 40 inches LCD displays but, when being mobile, the display instantly shrinks to a size under 3 inches and if you talk about dual ones, we face another "problem": the external one, in most of the cases, doesn't offer very much because it is a dwarf compared to the internal one. Why calling them dual then?

Well, it seems that the above mentioned problems are on the verge of extinction because a Korean inventor, named SeoK Hong Jeong, has presented at the Seoul International Invention Fair 2006 a phone prototype with dual LCD displays. The inventor has already applied for a patent, just in case someone will intend to implement its solution on a future phone, and he has arrived to this solution wanting to end up with a next generation device to be developed in cooperation with one of the mobile phone manufacturing companies.

Wondering what is the use of such an idea? The first thing to get a kick ahead on the evolution scale will be the way the mobile phone users experience mobile web browsing and the next best thing to this, the enhanced multimedia features available on cellphones with this type of display.

The times when you were viewing a video clip on your mobile device and you were trying to distinguish what was happening on the tiny screen in front of your face have nearly come to and end.

Just imagine how would it be when your phone will have two "huge" 4 inch LCDs! Sounds pretty good, ain't it?
