Hitachi’s 6.6-inch IPS tablet display with amazing 302 ppi

What you’re looking at is not just another display. This little beauty throws 1600 x 1200 pixels across a 6.6-inch transmissive IPS panel for an amazing 302 pixels per inch density. That’s just shy of the 326 ppi density seen on Apple’s 3.5-inch Retina Display (and now Sharp IS03 ) and blows away the 132 ppi density of the iPad’s 10-inch 1024 x 768 IPS panel or 169 ppi density of the 7-inch 1024 x 600 pixel Galaxy Tab and BlackBerry PlayBook . Even at that size, the panel still manages an 800:1 contrast ratio and 400 nits of brightness. Unfortunately, we don’t have any word on when we can expect these to ship in volume, though we wouldn’t mind seeing it show up in Apple’s rumored 7-inch iPad — anywhere, really. P.S. For what it’s worth, this Hitachi panel shares the same 4:3 aspect ratio as Apple’s iPad.
