Doing some quick calculations, though, yields a screen height of about 3.5 inches, for a individual pixel height of .0032 inches, or about 82 MICRONS. Useful or no, it's quite a feat.]]>Oct 17th 2006 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/
This is the kind of resolution we need in modern displays. Especially if we're trying to move towards eBooks being ubiqitous.]]>Oct 17th 2006 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/Oct 17th 2006 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/ If this is all true, that screen has a dpi of 310...

Yeah, but is that even possible? It seems more likely that it's just downsampling the signal. If my math is right, LCD monitors don't get much smaller than about 200 microns for pixel size. I calculate 206 microns for a 17" monitor (13 actual inches of screen real estate) at 1600 pixels wide. And I don't even know of a 17" that can go that high. I think most top out at 1280x1024.

Seems to me that the LCD employed in this thing would be the bigger headline than the actual device. Sure, I'm talking out my ass here since I'm not exactly up on the latest LCD technologies but if it's true, then yes, this is HUGE news if LCD's with 300 dpi are going to be the new standard.]]>Oct 17th 2006 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/
hopefully they make 300ppi-displays in 30" someday.]]>Oct 17th 2006 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/Oct 17th 2006 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/17/sanyo-epson-announce-7-1-inch-1080p-lcd-by-far-the-worlds-smal/
