Retina Display not a hit in Japan? Maybe the 4K tablet will!
We already learned about the incredible-hulk-like 4K tablet that Panasonic slated recently. But would you prefer a smaller 4K tablet? The unified forces behind Japan Display (including Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi) have announced that they’ve squeezed 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) into a 12.1-inch TFT module, creating a screen with a retina-piercing 365 pixels per inch.
The prototype will be unveiled at the FPD International 2013 at Japan this week.
