Sharp reveals 4.1” IGZO LCD display with a whopping 736ppi
Sharp took the wraps off a 4.1” IGZO LCD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. Such high resolution on a display this size results in the barely believable pixel density of 736ppi.
Compared, the above mentioned pixel density equals that of a 6” QFHD display panel. A couple of weeks ago Sharp announced that it will have such unit ready for mass production in 2016.
Sharp has pulled off the mind-boggling pixel density by utilizing smaller, 11.5µm pixels. Naturally, having such minuscule pixels allows manufacturers to fit more of them in a display panel.
Sharp aims to start mass producing its latest display in 2016. The company will begin sending out design samples to smartphone manufacturers next year.
