Samsung will demonstrate an all-new 10.1-inch display at the SID Display Week 2011 International Symposium next week. Samsung’s new display will have a 2560 x 1600 resolution, far in excess of anything on the tablet market today. At 300 dpi, the display also compares favorably with the Retina Display resolution of Apple’s iPhone 4; meanwhile, Samsung claims the PenTile technology used in the display allows it to operate while drawing 40 percent less power.
The screen size is going to be 10.1 inches and the iPad is always been 9.7 and it will be interesting to see if in the iPad 3 if Apple ups the stakes on the size or not. The iPad?s current resolution is 1024 x 768. Also Apple has currently stayed away from the PenTile technology which is in this new Smasung tablet. amsung’s new display does prove that high-res, tablet-sized displays are indeed possible without giving up power efficiency, which makes it all the more likely that we’ll see a Retina Display quality touchscreen in the iPad 3. It’s previously been rumored that Apple wanted to include such technology in the iPad 2, but was unable to do so because of high costs and manufacturing constraints.
Another step in the battle against Apple for the top tablet in the world, and it is no doubt that if Samsung can do all of this Apple will have some big tricks up their sleeves for the iPad 3. Apple already has the advantage of branding and I tell you that is a huge advantage for any company making a tablet to overcome.
