One of the highest pixel densities (208 pixels per inch, to be exact) for a\u00a0Windows 8\u00a0PC to date.<\/p>\n<p>The HTC One packs that same resolution (1,920\u00d71,080) into a 4.7-inch screen. That\u2019s more than 2 million pixels, yielding 468 pixels per inch (ppi).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat makes it the current record holder for announced\/shipping consumer products,\u201d Raymond Soneira, president of\u00a0DisplayMate, told CNET.<\/p>\n<p>Some products get close, though. Last summer, Sharp and LG announced a new class of very high-ppi displays with 440ppi, which is 1,920\u00d71,080 in a 5-inch (phablet) size, Soneira added.<\/p>\n<p>The first shipping product in the U.S. with this display is the\u00a0HTC Droid DNA, which began shipping in December and it has a Sharp display, according to Soneira.<\/p>\n<p>And other manufacturers including Samsung are working on this new format. LG is now also shipping a 440 ppi display, which, though a slightly lower pixel density, is \u201cvisually indistinguishable\u201d from HTC One\u2019s display, he said.<\/p>\n<div>Close up of HTC One\u2019s icons.(Credit: HTC)<\/div>\n<p>Sharp is making its 440+ ppi screens using a technology called Continuous Grain Silicon. \u201cIt has higher electron mobility than either\u00a0IGZO\u00a0or\u00a0amorphous silicon, which allows for maximum aperture ratio\/light transmission,\u201d according to Soneira.<\/p>\n<p>Translation: More light can get through the closely packed pixels than conventional technology, leading to brighter very-high-resolution screens.<\/p>\n<p>And what about the inevitable comparison to Apple\u2019s Retina display tech?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow 468 ppi is substantially higher than the\u00a0iPhone 5\u2018s 326 ppi. What does that mean visually? In terms of what Apple calls a Retina Display (equivalent to 20\/20 Vision), for 20\/20 Vision, 10.5 inches is the viewing distance where the eye can just resolve the individual iPhone 326 ppi pixels for people with standard 20\/20 Vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Related stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Hands-on with HTC One<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Soneira continues. \u201cFor 468 ppi, the 20\/20 Vision pixel resolution distance is 7.4 inches \u2014 much closer than a typical viewing distance for a 4.7 inch display. Watching further away from the minimum viewing distance means the eye can\u2019t resolve the pixels and so the high ppi is often wasted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But not always. \u201cThe only place where [this]\u2026level of sharpness is important is for computer generated text and graphics. Where 440 ppi [and above] will make a difference is when people are intently visually studying the display image for fine image details,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original Post can be found at th URL Below Courtesy of Cnet<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Blogger?
