Samsung Launches 10.1 inch Display with 300dpi: Is it for iPad 3?

Things are just going to get a lot better for the upcoming tablets. Samsung has just announced a new 10.1 inch display which is capable of providing 300 dots per inch. The display is also low energy consuming and hence is suitable for tablets. With its 2560×1600 resolution, the new display punches the current ones squarely in the jaw. iPad comes with 1024×768 resoultuion while Xoom is only slightly better with 1280×800 resolution.

Samsung developed the display in collaboration with Nouvoyance and has used PenTile display technology, which provides better performance with up to 40 percent lower power consumption. The display is also designed to provide better viewing experience in brighter outdoor lights. In comparison to the regular color gamut of 55 percent NTSC, the new display boasts of 72 percent color gamut, thus expect your new device to provide true colors.

Samsung is a leading supplier for Apple, so it is only natural that we will speculate about the use of this display for iPad 3. There were rumors of iPad 2 being launched with retina display, however, sadly for us, the speculation did not turn out to be true. Though, merely developing a new display is not enough, since the apps are also needed to be optimized for the augmented resolution.

But Samsung is not alone in the quest for bigger and better displays. LG, is also expected to unveil its new range of displays. LG also acts as a supplier for Apple. In fact, it is going to introduce new displays with in-plane switching technology. Though, LG has not specified the pixel density it is aiming for, but it claimed that it would be minimum 1.5 to 2 times the typical LCD resolution. Since the new display will have better outdoor visibility, it seems like, in the future, we may have better luck using our tablets as e-readers.
