Sharp shows the first panel conceived for virtual reality

Sharp has gone through the CEATECH 2016 event with a new IZGO panel that surprises by offering an image definition of 1, 000 PPI, a brutal value if we compare it with the current 2K screens for top-of-the-range smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 that they reach 520 PPI maximum. Even more impressive is if we put it next to the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift that only reach 416 PPI and are devices that cost more than 700 euros.

With the new 1, 000 PPI screens it will be possible to achieve a much more positive experience with virtual reality devices, the current resolution values ​​are too low for this use, leading to the appearance of the so-called grid effect in which the user gets to see pixels and the space between them. For now, the new Sharp screen is just a prototype, although we are sure to see it on the market in less than we imagined.
