"Conventional computer screens can only manage 1600 by 1200 pixels, and even high-definition TV displays create their images with an array of 1920 by 1080 pixels at best. Now, HP reckons it can make an A4-sized screen with 7000 by 5000 pixels – matching the quality of a glossy magazine. HP says it will be able to replicate this quality on screens all the way up to large electronic posters and billboards."

Cool. But, notice that the author said dispalys about the size of a magazine page would be available in five years. WHo knows, maybe market pressure can move it faster.

While I do think this is cool, I want to note that no new display technology has ever come to market early. It's not a matter of market pressure so much as the impossibility of doing something novel too quickly.


This also seems more important for e-printing type apps than for anything else. It's not really clear it'd be fast enough for full-motion video at 60fps....


Still, great to see HP doing novel things and to see any U.S. company doing anything clever in the flat-panel space.
