A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market.

    Some displays really are that big, which is why they are trying to make denser panels. But for the “TV in a living room” use case, yeah, we’re already at the point of diminishing returns. That’s why they’re developing other things, like higher resolutions, OLEDs, and 3D.

      There’s an e-ink display tech (just published in Nature, so very much in the lab) that has a pixel density >25,000 PPI and it can operate at up to 200FPS. It’s on a scale where 1 pixel to 1 retinal cell is possible.

      The color gamut isn’t as wide as sRGB but it’s 100x the gamut of color electrophoretic displays (‘e-Ink’, like in the Kindles).
