With 4K displays currently in full swing and 8K screens set to arrive by approximately 2018<\/a>, you’d imagine that even high resolutions are some way off.<\/p>\n

Well think again. Samsung, along with 13 other companies and education institutions, is working on a new fangled mobile technology capable of displaying images at up to 11K resolutions; that equates to a pixel density of 2250pi.<\/p>\n

Consider for a moment that their current mobile phone flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a 2560×1440 resolution, and a pixel density of 577ppi.<\/p>\n

We’re talking single screen displays by the way. We’re well aware that you can muster up a 12K resolution with the use of three 4K displays, but that’s far from affordable, even downright ludicrous<\/a>, and in no way viable for mobile devices.<\/p>\n

According to ETNews<\/a>, the primary purpose for developing such a screen is autostereoscopic<\/a> imaging. That is, the ability to display images in 3D without the need for additional gear.<\/p>\n

It would be achieved by the immense detail granted to each colour on such a high resolution screen, allowing for some interesting optical effects, one being glasses-free 3D.<\/p>\n

As you might imagine, however, 11K displays will likely require a lot of electrical juice. Think about how demanding current smart device displays are, and now multiply that several times.<\/p>\n

Either way, Samsung is hoping to have the technology ready for demonstration by 2018, with no mention of when they expect such a technology to go into production:<\/p>\n

We are hoping that we are able to show such technologies at Pyeongchang Olympics if there is a progress in developing technologies. Although some might think that 11K as \u2018over specification\u2019 that consumers do not need, this can work as a basis for Korean display industry take another leap if related materials and parts improve through this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Pyeongchang Olympics<\/a> taking place in 2018, of course.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to see what can be done with that sort of a resolution.<\/p>\n

We just wonder how relevant 3D technology will be in 2018 plus when augmented and virtual reality are already viable and far superior alternatives. And what about holographic technology?<\/p>\n

Whether autostereoscopic 3D is a big deal or not, 11K displays for mobile devices most certainly will be.<\/p>\n
