With a little encouragement, the qHD LCD lifts out of the Gorilla Glass-equipped front panel.

The screen in the Droid 3 is 0.3" larger than the screens in both of its predecessors, measuring in at a total of 4". It also has a higher resolution, at 960 x 540 pixels.

The ribbon cable attached to the rear of the LCD holds the earpiece speaker, the front-facing camera, the ambient light sensor, and the notification LED. Phew!

All of these components on one ribbon cable makes disassembly easy, but repair costly.

An Atmel MXT224E capacitive touchscreen controller can be found within the front panel.
