Examination of purported next-gen iPad screen confirms 2048×1536 Retina display

“Over the past couple of months, several photos of displays claimed to be for the iPad 3 have surfaced from various sources,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.

“MacRumors has now been able to obtain one of these iPad 3 displays and examine it under a microscope in an effort to determine whether it is indeed an ultra-high resolution Retina display,” Slivka reports. “Extrapolating out, the iPad 3 screen should carry a full resolution of 2048×1536, exactly twice the linear resolution of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 which is 1024×768.”

Slivka reports, “Such a screen should be able to display much sharper images as compared to the previous generation iPads.”
