Samsung have crammed a 2560×600 resolution into this 10.1″ display using the PenTile configuration, as found in the Atrix and Galaxy S smartphones.
This impressive resolution (higher than the majority of peoples’ TVs and desktop monitors) gives the panel a pixel density of 299ppi. That’s sufficient for it to receive Apple’s stamp of “Retina Display” approval.
That said, this display on show uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, which would be a stray from the iPads current 4:3. However, all is not lost; Samsung says that the technology is completely scalable, and can be adapted for different ratios and screen sizes.
Apple would be mad not to give the iPad 3 a resolution bump – and why not use their own ppi proclaiming brand whilst at it.
Here’s hoping that panels such as the one above make their way into tablets very soon.
