LG Display's presence at CES 2013 will be measured in PPI (pixels per inch), as the company plans to show several Ultra HD (4K) TV screens, as well as high-resolution screens for smartphones, tablets and laptops, at the technology trade show.
The pixel-per-inch limits will be pushed in almost every category. First, there are the 55-, 66- and 84-inch UHD panels with a 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution, meaning each of these will have 8 million pixels.
Next up is a 30-inch 4K2K monitor with a whopping 4096 x 2160 pixel resolution, which LG Display claims is the highest-resolution computer monitor to date. Although the monitor is probably aimed at professionals, it's a dream machine for every computer enthusiast who's been aching for 30-inchers with a horizontal resolution higher than 2560 pixels.
LG will also show off a 5.5-inch, 1080p smartphone screen, a 7-inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel tablet screen and a 12.9-inch, 2560 x 1700 pixel screen for laptops. The latter is comparable to Apple's retina screen on the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which has a 2560 × 1600 pixel resolution.
Not content with merely stuffing more pixels into screens, LG is also narrowing the bezels of its monitor screens. At CES, it will show a 23.8-inch monitor panel with an "ultra narrow" bezel, a 13.3-inch laptop panel with a "narrower than 2 millimeter" bezel and a 4.7-inch mobile display with a 1 millimeter bezel.
Finally, the LG's OLED screens will be losing weight. The company plans to show an "impossibly thin" (meaning 4 millimeter) OLED display that weighs only 3.5 kilograms.
