A new OLED microdisplay from MicroOLED boasts the world’s highest pixel density, stuffing an incredible 5.4 million gapless pixels into a 0.61-inch display.
For comparison, at 326 pixels per inch (ppi), the iPhone 4′s Retina display sports 614,400 pixels.
The manufacturer also claims the new display has a low power usage (0.2W), a maximum 100,000:1 contrast and a 96% uniformity, all of which make it ideal for defense, medical and professional camera applications.
“This OLED microdisplay is already creating quite a stir among world leaders in imaging products who commend the high pixel density and the remarkable image quality. Moreover, the current trend in replacing optics with electronics components fits excellently with our ability to produce this exceptional picture quality in miniature format. We see many opportunities opening up in existing applications and new markets as a result,” said Eric Marcellin-Dibon, CEO of MicroOLED.
More precisely, this means the new microdisplay could be used in head-mounted displays used by surgeons, as well as military night vision applications. It also means we probably won’t see this or similar technology used in our everyday gadgets, but in a couple of years, who knows?
