    Why not develop 16K directly? Although this could be a good move for Samsung - to skip a display (8K) of what could be a generation-long to get standardized just to get ahead in the display department. And all else would follow

          I hope everyone commeting on that we need new batteries, actually understand, that the same research team, don't have the qualifications to develop better batteries.

          We cant stop all other development, until we have better batteries.

          What if, tomorrow some team unveils truly wireless electricity.
          Then we wont have displays, to fully make use of that invention....

              There is not cartel on that useless resolution that you cant find any rrlative content at all so they will sell them at even biger prices.At least normal tvs will be sold at normal prices after years of their unethical cartel.

                That is really an overkill.. What kind of horsepower needed to run those machines?

                  I hope the 11K "trademark" is only used as a theoretical measure, like this would be the resolution if the technology is implemented on a screen used outside VR. Otherwise, as the rest of the commenters, I find this ridiculous.
                  I don't know what size a pixel needs to be so it is imperceptible even if its looked at very very close. I think the goal is definitely on ppi, but 11k sounds like too many pixel to be used on a mobile device given the current uses we give them.
                  I find very hard (not impossible, thoug) to spot a pixel on a 44 ppi TV at 4 meter away. The same with a 440 ppi cellphone at a distance over 40 cm.
                  So, unless 2250 ppi its going to be used CONTACT LENSES DISPLAYS that does make sense.

                            While I'm a little scared to bring VR into my life as I might stay in there for life, this would be a MASSIVE improvement over today's VR screens. Most would agree if you have tried them.

                              LEARN: What's the point of this, right? Well, the 2250ppi density will allow the screen to produce VR experiences without pixelization. But ever the display or smartphone * includes a battery of 20000 mAh :v.

                                  With that slow battery improvements and thickness crazy, i doubt if a phone with such display will even turn on.

                                      Why not use that money for R&D on how to convert heat released by human body to electricity which can be used to power the battery of a smart phone.
