    Is it really going to rival e-ink? The benefit of the latter is that it doesn't need to be backlit and hence is very easy to read without eye strain. e-ink isn't that high resolution - in fact it's easy to see how bad the resolution is if you peer at it closely, the aliasing on my Kindle is noticeable. Similarly it's low power, has a stupid contrast ratio and is sunlight readable - none of these is likely to be ousted by an LCD any time soon.

    www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=2722 for a comparison with the retina display and dead trees.

    It's cool tech though; once it's gone below the visible threshold there's not much point improving it further. Where it could be really useful is in mirrorless cameras or in-glasses screens, where visible pixels is extremely detrimental.

    With that resolution, it definitely won't run Crysis...

    Would like to see a 30" display with that kind of pixel density!

    I wonder how stuck pixels would be received on such high density screens? The pixels are pretty damn small, so I wonder if there's a way to filter them out, perhaps with an appropriate modification to the surrounding pixels. It'd be a great way to boost yields.

    ...heads to patent office.

    I don't think it'll replace e-ink, personally I'm hoping for a true hybrid technology on that front, but it does defeat one of the barriers of LCD technology.
