The race to produce a display with the highest pixel density has a new leader. Today, Toshiba introduced its 4-inch HD display, running at a jaw-dropping 720×1280 for an industry best 367ppi. Taking the title from Apple’s Retina display is no small feat, let’s find out more about Toshiba’s amazing screen.
Toshiba’s amazing 4-inch HD display not only bests the Retina display in sheer pixel density, it also delivers a 1500:1 contrast ratio and 176 degree wide-viewing angle. While these new displays are not the highest ppi on record, they look poised to be the most accessible, at least at wide-scale consumer level. The question is which smartphone manufacturer will land the highly-coveted partnership?
For those not interesting in carting around a 4-inch smartphone, Toshiba also unveiled a 3.3-inch screen running at 480×864. Thought it falls short of its 4-inch brother’s 367ppi, the 3.3-inch screen still scores a respectable 300ppi. Expect more display announcements this week as the 2011 Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium continues.
