Tablet screen replacement - models from 7 to 12 inches
As of 2022 we are no longer supplying tablet screens, only laptop screens.
Our tablet screens are high quality class I genuine replacements for Android and Apple devices. These are not the same products that you will find selling on low cost websites. These come in two parts, we sell the digitizer (glass front touch assembly) and we also sell the LCD screen (display) that sits behind the front glass cover (digitizer). You can choose to replace just the front glass touch assembly, the LCD display screen or both. If you're unsure of what you need then just ask us.

Touch screen laptops
Touch screen laptops have been slow off the mark, with limited support from available applications and Microsoft's backtracking with Windows 8.1, popularity has been less than expected. Interestingly Apple decided not to implement touch facilities in any of their laptop or netbook devices after a study showed that it was difficult for people to work long periods with their arms extended. Were they right? Nevertheless we stock some of the more popular touch enabled laptop screens as well.

More about tablet computers
Though recent innovations, tablet computers featured prominently in a number of films and books written and produced in the latter half of the 20th century. Note, for example, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke’s reference to a “Newspad.”
Drawing inspiration from Clarke’s work, in 1994 the EU set up the “Omni-NewsPad” project, inviting Acorn Computers Ltd. to design an early form of tablet which was subsequently dubbed, (perhaps unsurprisingly,) the NewsPad.
2008 saw early design discussions for the first Android tablets. The Archos 5 was one of many products that went on sale to the public the following year.
Tablet touchscreens are usually either resistive, (meaning the screen is high resolution and requires the use of a stylus,) or capacitive, (meaning that the screen is more sensitive and can be operated using the fingertips.)
Figures released by NPD DisplaySearch indicate that more screen panels are being shipped for use in tablets than in laptops. The company suggests such figures may indicate a significant turning point in the computing industry, as consumers turn from using classic clamshell laptops to newer tablet models.
The History of the Tablet Computer
Today, tablet computers are commonplace, but, what did the first tablet look like and, when was it first made? We take a look at the history of the tablet computer.
Tablets: a history
The Rand tablet
One of the first devices capable of detecting user input via the use of a stylus was the Rand tablet. Built by the American corporation Rand, (and released in 1964,) the Rand tablet cost a staggering $18,000.
On a lighter note...the Star Trek PADD
Fans of the sci-fi fantasy series Star Trek may well remember that the characters often used, (and referred to,) a tablet-like invention called the PADD. The crew of the Enterprise were obviously further ahead than we thought!
Apple's Knowledge Navigator
Apple's 1987 invention the Knowldege Navigator was an early form of tablet which operated as a virtual assoatant, (much like smartphones and tablets do today.) The Knowledge Navigator also aimed to make virtual business meetings possible.
The Penpoint Operating System
In 1991 GO Corporation released the Penpoint Operating System which allowed users to navigate around early tablets and portable assistants. The operating system allowed users to select different onscreen options, and, to drag and drop certain icons.
The ThinkPad 700T
IBM's first ThinkPad, (the 700T,) was one of the early tablet computers which made use of the GO Corporation's Penpoint Operating System. The 700T ThinkPad came equipped with a 10 inch, stylus operated screen and a keyboard.
Fujitsu's Stylistic 500
Released in 1994, Fujitsu's Stylistic 500 had a slightly smaller screen that its predecessors, (8 inch,) and it ran on Windows 95. Though its screen was noticeably smaller, the Fujitsu Stylistic 500 weighed in at a bulky 1.18kg.
The Cyrix WebPAD
Available for purchase in 1998, the Cyrix WebPAD was a stylus operated tablet computer which allowed users to access the net, (when within 500 feet of a base with a suitable internet connection.)
Microsoft's Prototype Tablet PC
At a conference in 2000, Bill Gates introduced the world to Microsoft's Prototype Tablet PC. This prototype was operated using a stylus and it ran an early version of Windows XP.
BlackBerry's PlayBook
In 2010, BlackBerry released a tablet computer with a 7 inch screen called the PlayBook. As a product, the PlayBook wasn't particularly popular as you had to attach a BlackBerry phone to access all of the available features.
The Apple iPad 4
In 2012, Apple released the iPad 4 which came complete with a 9.7 inch screen, a faster, all round, processor and 128GB worth of storage.
