# Embedded Touchscreen Sensors LG's Advanced In-Cell Touch System Allows For Lighter Displays By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-07-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-incell-touch References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/lg-ait-notebook-displays-details/38319/) & [lgdisplay](http://www.lgdisplay.com/eng/prcenter/newsView?articleMgtNo=4914) Advanced In-Cell Touch technology is all set to make [LG's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-gram-superslim) displays more high tech than ever before, subsequently helping them develop some of the [lightest and thinnest notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-gram-pro) on the market. This technology features a touch sensor embedded inside the LCD panel itself, which means there's no need for a special touch screen component on top of the actual screen. This allows for the new displays to be 1 mm thinner and as much as 200 grams lighter -- an impressive 35 per cent reduction in the weight of the panel. Notebook technology has grown in leaps and bounds in recent years, but customers continue to crave increasingly [thinner and lighter models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-swift-air-16). The Advanced In-Cell Touch technology will enable reduced thickness and weight without compromising on display definition and quality or general tech specs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Advanced In-cell Touch Technology:** Advanced In-Cell Touch technology enables displays to be thinner and lighter without sacrificing quality or specs. - **Lightweight Notebooks:** Customers continue to demand increasingly thinner and lighter notebooks, driving innovation in that area. - **Embedded Touchscreen Sensors:** The use of touch sensors embedded inside LCD panels eliminates the need for a separate touch screen component, enabling thinner and lighter displays. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Display Technology:** Advancements in touch technology, as well as the demand for thinner and lighter displays, are driving innovation in the Display Technology industry. - **Computer Hardware:** Demand for thinner and lighter notebooks is driving innovation in the Computer Hardware industry, as companies search for ways to make their products stand out in a crowded market. - **Consumer Electronics:** The trend towards thinner and lighter displays and devices is a major driver of innovation in the Consumer Electronics industry, as companies strive to meet customer demand for portability and mobility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Featherweight Portable Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-laptops.md) - [Touch-Free Screen Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchnetix.md) - [Durable Featherlight Laptop Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-gram-superslim.md) - [Groundbreaking Oled Display Advancements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-displays.md) - [Stunning Stacked LED Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-display-oled-technology.md) - [Ultra-Light Portable Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-monitors.md) - [Organic Flexible Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-olcd.md) - [Ultra-Thin IPS Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gram-17.md) - [Advanced Smartphone Screen Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-screen-technology.md)
