Canadian company Ignis Innovation has announced a new AMOLED display, with a pixel density of 330ppi.
Traditionally, AMOLED displays have not been able to challenge the pixel density of retina displays as used by Apple, as polysilicon backplanes don't provide uniform current, resulting in display deformities. Ignis has produced a TFT pixel circuit and driver to compensate for this, allowing a higher density and a sharper display. Ignis will licence the technology to other display manufacturers reports the Trusted Reviews website.
The company hopes its new developments will make AMOLED displays the choice of smartphones, offering the same resolution as retina displays, but with better colour quality, contrast and viewing angles.
