Sharp's IGZO display panels have already worked their way into high-PPI notebook screens and 4K desktop monitors. Now, one has popped up in a Windows tablet of the company's own design.

Saturday was a windy, rainy day in Vancouver. But as the afternoon ended, the dark rainclouds parted, and the sun began to shine through. In front of the Kingston Taphouse & Grille in downtown Vancouver, Canada, a group of TR readers from all corners of the Pacific Northwest began to gather.
There were folks from Vancouver. There were people from other parts of British Columbia's lower mainland, Americans from Seattle, Washington, and even one guy who'd driven the five hours from Portland, Oregon. There were students and ...
