Casio goes insane with 2-inch, 960 x 540 pixel LCD

To put Casio's achievement into perspective, those 7-inch PMPs and UMPCs generally equipped with 800 x 480 LCDs are now kicking the dirt in embarrassment at being outdone by the pixel density of Casio's new 2-inch display. Using a proprietary Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT (HAST) LCD, Casio achieves a 960 x 540 pixel resolution resulting in 546 pixels per inch supporting 16.8 million colors -- hoozah! Although not announced, we'll undoubtedly see these in future NTT DoCoMo superphones just as soon as these displays hit mass production.

Shrink it down and make it sunlight-viewable and in a calculator-watch of reasonable price-taggage and you've got my sale, Casio. Ta luvs.

Erm, This is great and all, but when can I have a 20" display supporting 1080p?

hoozah?

bringing fine print to the world of cell phones (not the contract).

Man, I can barely read my 24inch monitor at full resolution sometimes. I'm all for high resolution cell phones, but it gets to a point where it's fruitless (like HD, don't think we need anything beyond 1080p). Honestly, a 640x480 iPhone sized screen is about as good as you need to get IMHO.

Is the resolution of my eyes that good? I'm already astonished by the LCD on the back of my Nikon D300.

Casio should use this pixel density in their watches. They could create a great virtual analog display.

We were so tamed to accept that the image on the screen is, when we close watch, see the pixel.
But, don't forget, in real life, on real Kiwi, when we see in close up, what we see is the minute detail and more.
That is THE IMAGE.
After all, the Japanese is the people who refined the way to just drink a cup (well its a big bowl) of tea
into a ceremonious level. So, why not a screen, why not Casio.
