“Market researcher DisplaySearch said today that the average pixel density of tablets will surge next year,” Brooke Crothers reports for CNET.
“The forecast calls for the average resolution of tablet displays to grow to more than 200 pixels per inch (PPI) in the second quarter of 2012, according to David Hsieh, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch,” Crothers reports. “Currently, displays average just shy of 150 PPI. The transition to very-high-resolution 9.7-inch tablet displays will begin with a bang on the iPad 3’s 2048×1536 display likely due in the first quarter of next year. This is expected to have a PPI of 264, twice that of the iPad 2.”
Crothers reports, “DisplaySearch’s Richard Shim said Apple will pretty much eat up all supply of the 9.7-inch 2048×1536 displays. But Apple isn’t the whole story. Android tablet makers dominate the 10.1-inch display size and these will jump to resolutions of 1920×1200 at the high end, according to DisplaySearch.”
