Samsung To Release 2.6" 640x480 LCD Screen
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 09:00 AM
"Samsung will next quarter begin mass production of a 640 x 480 LCD screen that measures a mere 2.6in (6.5cm) diagonally. Initially aimed at PDAs - both the Palm OS and Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PCs Second Edition enable VGA displays - the new panel will ultimately be pitched at smart-phone makers. The tiny transflective display provides a resolution of almost 300dpi (dots per inch)."
Wow. 300dpi? That's laser-printer resolution. Not only am I excited about the prospects of truly high-DPI smartphones, I'd love to see a 4" 1024x768 screen or somesuch. And if you're worry about fonts being "too small" on such a display, it's all a function of the size of fonts used on such a screen -- so, if anything, you can get the same size print, just that much sharper. :D
