Nano-Pixels Hold Potential For Screens Far Denser Than Today's Best

Posted by timothy on from the enhance-enhance-enhance dept.

Zothecula (1870348) writes "The Retina displays featured on Apple's iPhone 4 and 5 models pack a pixel density of 326 ppi, with individual pixels measuring 78 micrometers. That might seem plenty good enough given the average human eye is unable to differentiate between the individual pixels, but scientists in the UK have now developed technology that could lead to extremely high-resolution displays that put such pixel densities to shame."

    I mean, really: Emacs looks great in character mode and 80 columns. Why all this other faffing about?
