Rumor: Sharp Corporation providing Nintendo with Free-Form Display

A report coming from Sankei indicates that Sharp Corporation is to provide Nintendo with a special Free-Form Display. This LCD screen “can be shaped to meet a wide range of user needs,” Sharp says.

It’s rumored that Nintendo will use the Free-Form Display in a new handheld or its upcoming Quality of Life device that monitors sleep. Sankei posts some speculation – apparently coming from official sources – that the company is considering a design where the LCD screen will feature a hole in the center.
