Intel Expects Beyond Full-HD Notebook Displays in Coming Years

From X-bit Labs: High-definition video and graphics have radically redefined personal computing industry some 5-7 years ago. The time has come for beyond high-definition resolutions to make another revolution.

Capabilities and performance of modern personal computers is what the vast majority of applications consider as sufficient for the vast majority of users. But there are things that can be improved and to be appreciated by the mass user, such as integration of Internet connectivity and services, high responsiveness as well as radically better displays

As it turns out, Intel Corp. has serious reasons to believe that ultra high-definition resolutions will become mainstream in 2013 timeframe.

At the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, China, the world's largest supplier of electronics, shared its vision regarding trends for display resolution of various personal computers, such as notebooks, ultrabooks, all-in-one systems and so on.

Intel believes that "rich displays" - with high resolution, brightness, colour gamut and other qualities - will become major focus for the whole PC industry. Intel asserts GPUs render images in ultra high-definition (UHD) resolution are already available and the major two obstacles for them are their costs and power consumption.

Nonetheless, those issues can be resolved with the volume production of appropriate UHD display panels and some other tweaks. The first systems with UHD displays are probably going to emerge in 2012, according to rumours. Form-factors of actual devices - notebooks, tablets, PCs - are not going to change, what is going to is pixel per inch (PPI) density.
