New PDA Technology on the Way
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"A new Fujitsu high pixel screen has been developed, which enables PDAs, or personal digital assistants, to receive high quality broadcasts, digital TV. The device has three times the number of pixels as existing LCD screens, which will improve the average PDA resolution 60-70%. The technology used quickly changes the color of backlights of the three primary colors - that is, red, blue and green - while already existing LCD screens use individual dots, in any one of the primary colours."
800 x 600? Wow. 8O Hopefully with pressure like this from manufacturers, Microsoft will respond by giving us higher resolutions on the Pocket PC. My excitement waned when I read this however:
"Sources say that Fujitsu hopes to commercialize the new LCD in a few years after the defect rate during mass production is reduced to an acceptable level."
It looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer. But maybe that means that 640 x 480 screens are closer than we think... :wink:
