iPhone's Retina Display has been its prized feature, and to have a display where the naked eye is not able to discern each individual pixel should have theoretically ended the pixel war. However this is not the case, and Smartphone makers have since then been topping the 326 ppi resolution that Apple has set.
The pinnacle of consumer display resolution currently is a 4K display, which Samsung, LG and the like have been putting into their TVs and monitors. But now a Taiwanese flat panel maker has not only created a 6-inch 4K screen, they have begun mass production of the panel back in December 2013.
The panel's exact resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels, at 6-inches it has a 500 ppi resolution, almost double that of Apple's Retina Display.
The PR person from AUO declined to reveal the client company who will be installing these displays into their mobile devices, but there are speculations that it could be the Chinese mobile device maker Vivo.
The LCD panel also features very wide viewing angles, made possible with low temperature poly-silicon technology (LTPS).
What makes this display even more impressive is it's ultra-narrow 0.9mm bezel, which can ensure the device to have a compact footprint, despite its giant 6-inch display.
To set the records straight, LG was actually the first company to announce that they have made a mobile 4K display, at 5.5-inches, with the same 2560 x 1440 pixels, coming in at 538 ppi. However LG have not yet put the display in a mass-production device, nor have announced when it will do so, thus making AUO to be the one to set the milestone.
