The World's Smallest Full HD Display

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-can-see-clearly-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ever heard of Ortustech? Probably not. But you have heard of Casio, right? Ortustech is a joint venture between Casio Computer and Toppan Printing to develop small and medium sized displays. Today, the company is announcing a doozy with its 4.8-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel HAST (Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT) LCD with 160-degree viewing angle, 16.8 million colors, and a pixel density of 458ppi. Amazing when you compare that to the lauded 326ppi of iPhone 4's Retina display."

    Brilliant. It arrives just at the point in my life where my eyesight is deteriorating, so that I have no chance of benefiting from it. Sigh.

    Of course you can tell the difference, as long as you wear special glasses with solid gold lenses as these conduct the photons better.

      Everybody is assuming that this will compete with Apple. Why, exactly? Apple's got a $60 billion cash stash. They bought Liquid Metal. They can simply buy Casio (or just this technology). Liquid Metal + 4.8" Super Retina = iPhone 5.

    Gasp! You mean it links directly to the available factual information, instead of a blog article that's three sources removed from the original data? The horror...

    It's also "bulit-in," not "build in."

    Just sayin.
