Sharp Corp. this week demonstrated the world’s first display with incredible 736 pixels per inch (ppi) pixel density. The company said that it will be able to commercially ship such display panels in calendar 2016.

The experimental 4.1” panel from Sharp has resolution of 2560*1600 (WQXGA), which is not a breakthrough for mobile devices nowadays. Nonetheless, the pixel density of 736 pixels per inch is considerably higher than the record pixel density of today’s top smartphones from LG and Samsung (which feature pixel density of around 500ppi). The panel with record pixel density is based on Sharp’s IGZO technology.

Keeping in mind that a human’s eye cannot see individual pixels on screens with 350ppi – 400ppi density at typical smartphone viewing distances, it is unclear whether Sharp’s 4.1” 2560*1600 display will find any practical use. Nonetheless, ultimate pixel density of 736 pixels per inch opens doors to mainstream-sized smartphones with 4K (3840*2160) ultra-high-definition screens.

Sharp said that it would be able to commercially ship displays with such pixel density only in fiscal 2016 (starts on the 1st of April, 2016), therefore, the technology is not quite ready for mass production yet.

 

Incredible pixel density will not only open doors to smartphones with 4K displays, but will also enable companies like Sharp to create screens with even higher resolutions. In fact, in order to build 8K (7680*4320) TVs and displays several years down the road, Sharp and other manufacturers will need to learn how to produce panels with increased pixel density cost-efficiently.

Old news - was mentioned in WAN show yesterday.

 

Sorry :3

Wow who cares, even 1440p is overkill at 5.5".

okay didn't notice :3 i didn't yet watch yesterday wan show

If only we can keep that same density and turn it into a 27''

Too small! The displays only 4.1 inches. Not worth mentioning IMO.

Everyone's going on about how useless this is for mobile devices, but what about for vr? Oculus needs all the pixels it can get.

As  a person who owned a 1080p smartphone, and now uses a 1440p smartphone I will say there is almost no discernible difference between the two, So any higher is just dumb. 

[atomicmonkey101]

so. is the battery life like 30mins?

 

 

lol. 500 ppi is probs the max for me for now. at least until some new battery saving tech comes in.

 

and jk, the battery life is probably longer than that.

THIS^^^^^

Phones do not need more than 1080p. Hell, if they didn't grow in size every year they wouldn't need more than 720p.
