Comments on: Fujitsu Creates 800x600 PDA Display

Currently on screens, if your screen is 320 x 320 that means that there are 320 red, 320 green and 320 blue pixel elements accross the screen. And you guessed it. That also means that there are 320 red, 320 green, and 320 blue pixel elements going down the screen.

What this technology does is allow for 320 pixel elements going down and accross, but then, if you want white, you open the pixel up on the red light cycle and on the green light cycle and on the blue cycle.

Sooo if this new technology were applied to the current Palm 320 x 320 screens you would actually have a screen with the resolution of 960 x 960.

How bout dat? Not to shabby huh? Well, the screen will probably look a bit different than what we are normally use to, but who cares at that resolution.

This is a technique that fakes higher resoloution on TFT and other non-CRT screens by using the adjacent pixels with light-blue or light-red tones depending on which side of the main (black) pixel it is (extremly simpified).

Ah, well enough of the besser-wisser bull**** ;)

That's where the nexio and this new display fail. HVGA and higher resolution at the same proportion are where it's it.

Of course, a small square as seen on Palm OS PDA's have proven to be just big enough for most tasks.
