Toshiba Unveils Mobile LCD with 498ppi

Toshiba sets itself up for an impending LCD wars as it unveils a mobile LCD screen that measures 6.1 inches and boasts 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution and 498 pixel-per-inch (PPI) density. That PPI spec is one of the highest to date for such a screen, which makes fonts very clear to read, especially for Chinese and Japanese characters.
This is also the first direct-view-type screen in the market, with a contrast ratio of 1,000:1, the ability to display 16.7 million colors, and a 176-degree viewing angle (whether in horizontal or vertical).
Toshiba plans to showcase this LCD next week at the FPD International 2011 exhibition, which will be held in Yokohama, Japan.
