Display manufacturer LG.Philips LCD Co. said Monday it has developed a liquid crystal display panel with what it claims is the world's fastest response speed, which will help improve motion picture quality by removing afterimages on screen.

The 47-inch high-definition LCD panel has a response speed of 6 milliseconds, faster than 8 milliseconds of existing products, the company said in a statement. Response speed indicates how fast a pixel on screen can react to an electrical signal. A faster response means better motion picture quality.

LG.Philips said it achieved the improved response speed through scanning backlight technology designed to adjust the amount of backlighting in line with the outside environment, which it claims enhances image quality and cuts the electricity consumption of LCD panels by 35 percent.

The flat-panel product will be among the company's latest display models showcased in the FPD International 2007, a tech show, which opens Wednesday for a three-day run in Japan, LG.Philips officials said, adding that the date for the product's commercial launch has yet to be decided.
