Nintendo Switch is getting an IGZO display — here’s what that means

The Nintendo Switch is likely getting some additional stealth upgrades that should improve its display. Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp says it is providing its IGZO screen to Nintendo for use in its hybrid handheld/home console, according to a Wall Street Journal report. IGZO has a number of improvements over the current tech that Switch is using. Most notably, it is significantly more power efficient.

Sharp and Nintendo are not saying which Switch devices will feature IGZO display tech, but it seems likely that we will see it in both the improved Switch with better battery life and the Switch Lite.
