MicroOLED, a firm specialising in the manufacture of power-efficient micro-displays for near-to-eye devices, announced last week the latest display in its line-up.
At only 0.61 inches in size, the display features a gigantic resolution of 2,560 by 2,048, making this by far the most dense display that we've yet to hear of, with a PPI (Pixels Per Inch) of 5,374. To add to the impressive density, the display is capable of reaching contrasts of up to 100,000:1 with a 96 per cent screen uniformity, whilst being able to consume as little as 0.2W, which MicroOLED claims is half the power consumption of other products in the same category.
What's more, is that the firm claims to have eliminated the gap between pixels, with the display showing no signs of a black matrix pattern, with a sub-pixel pitch of 4.7 x 4.7 micrometres.
Whilst the densities achieved are unlikely to translate to larger displays, as a greater viewing distance may require larger pixels to achieve comparable brightness, the technology is no meagre feat. Currently the display is targeted at professionals, however we'd love to find it in a pair of consumer video glasses.
