Samsung has partnered with scientists from Stanford University (USA) to invent a display with a record resolution. This was reported in a press release published on the university website .
The Korean company and Stanford collaborated to create an ultra-high-resolution display, the statement said. The resulting OLED panel has a pixel density index (ppi, pixels per inch) of about 10,000 per inch and is intended for use in gadgets, the screen of which is located at a close distance from the organs of vision. For comparison, the pixel density of displays on modern smartphones ranges from 400 to 500 pixels per inch.
The development, which is conventionally called newOLED, is based on existing OLED technology. Also, when creating a new type of display, scientists relied on solar panel technology. “Our technology is well suited for solar panel equipment, we now have a chance to influence displays,” said Stanford University materials scientist Mark Brongersma.
The description of newOLED says that when creating a panel, special films are used between the layers to emit light: one made of silver, the other one with a nano-textured metal. As a result, it creates the effect that certain colors resonate through the pixels. This changes the reflective properties of the panel and increases the pixel density.
The specialists specified that the screens of the new type can be used in the consumer electronics segment. In particular, in VR headsets and similar accessories, in which the screen resolution is of decisive importance. For example, many virtual reality headset users complain of noticing pixel gaps on the eyepieces of an accessory. Samsung is reportedly already working on a record-breaking full-size display.
