KDDI AQUOS Pad SHT21

The AQUOS Pad SHT21 runs at 1280 x 800 resolution and, Sharp claims, will run for 2.5x as long as tablets with conventional displays thanks to IGZO’s frugal nature.
Sharps IGZO display is named after the indium gallium zinc oxide used in the LCD. Traditional LCD displays rely on amorphous silicon layer for their screens. According the Sharp, the technology in its screens allow up to 40x more electron mobility. This, in turn, allows pixels to be smaller and therefore, require less backlight and power to run.

 In the case of the new KDDI tablet, it seems there are various modes that can be switched between, depending on your priorities with the tablet: visibility or longevity. 

The slate also supports digital pen input, is waterproof and dustproof, and includes 4G LTE, WiFi a/b/g/n (2.4/5GHz), Bluetooth 4.0, and 1-Seg digitalTV, all in something 106 x 190 x 8.9 mm and 280g.

There are twin cameras – 8-megapixel on the back, VGA upfront – and Full HD video recording, and the SHT21 runs Android 4.0 with a custom UI on Qualcomm’s MSM8960 1.5GHz dualcore processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (plus a microSDXC card slot).
