Retina LCD display, what it is, its structure and advantages. Announcement of iPhone X - premium version with Super Retina screen and Face ID


It's time for today's main news. Of course, it is the iPhone X that stands apart among the new Apple devices. It became the first smartphone in Apple's range with an OLED screen (aka Super Retina) with a resolution of 2436 x 1125 pixels. Compared to the iPhone 8, this screen is brighter, has more contrast, richer colors, higher pixel density, and supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. There is support True Tone Display, 3D Touch technology and other Apple goodies, and the frames on all sides are much narrower. Another important feature of the iPhone X was the Face ID facial scanner, which replaced the fingerprint scanner. finger touch ID (yes, it still doesn’t exist). Apple said that complex technologies using neural networks were used in its creation, and information about the owner is securely stored in the depths of the six-core A11 Bionic chipset with a proprietary GPU. This will allow you to use the system not only to unlock your smartphone, but also to pay for purchases through Apple Pay. Premium case iPhone versions Made of stainless steel and glass, it supports wireless and fast charging.

Let's move on. Camera. The iPhone X received the same tandem of 12-megapixel modules as in the iPhone 8 Plus, but the aperture size of the telephoto lens was f/2.4 and it now has optical image stabilization. Video shooting in 4K format at 60 frames per second is available, as well as slow-mo 240fps at Full HD resolution, new portrait effects Portrait lighting. By the way, in the iPhone X the front 7-megapixel camera received portrait mode.

Displays Apple with the marketing name Retina were introduced on June 7, 2010 at iPhone presentations 4. The name Retina is translated as retina, and it is pronounced “rEtina”, and not “retina”, as many people are used to saying, including us.

Special competitive advantage is high pixel density. So high that the average person’s eye is not able to distinguish individual pixels of the matrix at the so-called typical distance (the distance at which you look at the device screen when normal use). For smartphones this distance is 10″, for tablets — 15″, for laptops — 20″.

The pixel density per inch for these classes of devices is also different. For iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S it is 326 ppi, for iPad starting from the third - 264 ppi, and for MacBook Pro Retina — 220 ppi. The advantage of this pixel density is that the eyes do not get tired when working and it seems that you are looking at a real living object, and not at a digital image.

Retina displays are produced at Sharp, LG and Samsung factories. Super AMOLED technology was first introduced in the series smartphones Samsung Wave And Samsung Galaxy S, which were shown in 2010 by WorldTelecom. The Super prefix indicates that this is a modified version of the regular one. AMOLED display. The improvements are that the touchscreen is glued directly to the matrix, without a layer of air. In this regard, brightness increased by 20%, power consumption decreased by 20%, and reflectivity sunlight fell by 80%.

The abbreviation AMOLED in decoding and translation means “Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes.” If you compare these types of devices, the first thing worth noticing is the energy consumption indicators. Super AMOLED is based on Samsung's PenTile technology, which is responsible for the unique arrangement of subpixels. Thanks to this, energy consumption is reduced. Considering that organic LEDs do not require backlighting, and liquid crystals do not produce light themselves, Retina consumes more energy.

But these liquid crystals are more durable. If anyone didn’t know, OLED displays fade over time, and unpredictably. Although it is worth recognizing that if you often update your device, then this is not a problem for you.

And of course, Retina has ultra-high definition and excellent viewing angles. Let's summarize what is the difference between Super AMOLED & Retina:

1. Two different technologies — LCD and OLED;

2. Super AMOLED lives shorter;

3. Retina eats more battery power;

4. Until recently, Retina displays were the leader in terms of pixels per inch, but the picture has changed, and devices with higher ppi have appeared, such as the Nexus 5 (445 ppi) and Samsung Galaxy S4 (441 ppi), and now the Samsung Galaxy S5. But Apple claims that anything higher than 330 ppi is a waste of money, since the eye will not see the difference.

Retina displays and the recently introduced Retina HD displays are often mentioned when discussing Apple products. In this article we will try to determine the differences between these types of displays, and whether these displays are worth the money they are asking for.

What is Retina display? Or, what definition is accurate for displays with this name?

Retina display is more of a marketing ploy than a technical term, but also a definition this concept can be given: this is a screen used in a computing device that has high density pixels so that the human eye cannot see individual pixels. In other words, it is assumed that a person will not be able to tell the difference between a photograph of a painting shown on a Retina screen and the painting itself. But this is only in theory.

Retina is owned by Apple. Other companies may produce screens with the same technical characteristics, but they won’t be able to call them Retina. This is a trademark.

What resolution does the Retina display have?

Screen resolutions are given in the format "number of pixels" X "number of pixels". But key point for Retina displays is pixel density (the number of pixels per inch). With the same screen resolutions (in pixels), but different sizes(in inches) pixel densities will vary.

But, even in terms of pixel density, there is no single number that qualifies a screen as Retina, since when determining Retina displays, the distance of the screen from the eyes is taken into account.

In fact, you can more often find the following pixel density indicators for various types devices:

  • 326ppi - smartphones
  • 264ppi - tablets
  • 220ppi - laptops

Are there screens with better performance than Retina displays?

Eat. There are screens that have higher pixel density. Apple itself, since iPhone launch 6, suggests using improved Retina screen HD. But many Android devices superior in this indicator Apple devices, for example LG G3 - 534 pixels per inch.

But, if we recall our previous definition of Retina, then increasing the pixel density is a rather controversial undertaking, because the human eye no longer sees the difference at such high ppi values. Apple themselves spoke about this. But iPhone release 6 can be regarded as an admission that the difference can still be felt.

Difference between Retina and Retina HD.

The term Retina HD refers only to the screens of new Apple smartphones. So what is superior to Retina HD over its predecessor:

  • More a high resolution
  • Greater contrast
  • Wider viewing angle thanks to dual domain pixels technology
  • Also, if you look at the screen with glasses, the image on the screen will be brighter than on previous models.

Modern technologies have reached unprecedented heights. At the same time, they are constantly developing and improving. Thus, modern matrices are distinguished by the highest image quality, which was unavailable 5-10 years ago. A striking example modern achievements in screen technology are Retina displays. They have a high pixel density, thanks to which a person sees a flawless picture. But, despite the fact that such technologies have already become a part of everyday life modern people, many people ask the question, Retina LCD display, what is it?

1. What is the Retina matrix

The concept of “Retina” was first used by Apple at the presentation of a new smartphone called iPhone 4. A real genius in the world modern technologies Steve Jobs paid quite a lot of attention at the presentation of his new brainchild new technology matrices. However, many people wonder logical question, - isn’t “Retina” a common marketing ploy? Is this really a new discovery that the manufacturer of apple products can be proud of?

Answering the question of what an LCD Retina display is, first of all it is worth noting that the word “Retina” itself translated from English means “retina”. The technology received this name for a reason. The fact is that today the name Retina display used in general descriptions conventional liquid crystal matrices, which have a higher pixel density per square inch, and are used in Apple devices.

In other words, answering the question of what a Retina LCD screen is, we can say with complete confidence that these are ordinary LCD screens made using IPS technology, having a high pixel density of 220 ppi and higher. There is also an unofficial name for this technology – Super Fine TFT (SFT). Nowadays, similar matrices are used on all modern smartphones, tablets, MacBooks and other products from Apple.

It is worth noting that due to the high pixel density, the dots on the screen cannot be seen with the naked eye, which leads to the fact that the image is as close as possible to the pictures on the pages of glossy magazines in terms of quality and perception.

1.1. Retina matrix device

There is no point in talking for a long time about how Retina displays are designed, because as you already know, this is a common IPS matrices A. The only difference is the increased pixel density. Accordingly, the design of such matrices is absolutely identical to the IPS device. We can say that the Retina display is a kind of subtype of the IPS matrix.

Of particular note is the fact that a group of scientists working at Apple managed to separate pixels and subpixels, making it possible to significantly reduce the distance between them. That's what it is main feature this technology.

1.2. Benefits of Retina screens

You already know the Retina screen and what it is, now we can discuss their advantages. Such displays have a number of undeniable advantages, including special attention decent image quality. This technology constructing matrices allows you to significantly reduce the distance between pixels. Thanks to this, the image on the Retina display has such a look that the human eye is simply not able to distinguish the grid or any dots. The picture seems as realistic as possible.

Considering the fact that Retina is actually based on an IPS matrix, it is not surprising that today such displays have the best viewing angles. At the same time, the recall speed is not inferior to other modern matrices. In addition, the advantages include high level contrast ratio, which is 900:1. It should be understood that only some species were able to achieve such indicators. best displays, such as Super Amoled and the latest IPS types matrices, one of which is Retina.

Modern Retina matrices not only have high resolution, which exceeds Full HD (1920x1080). In addition, they are distinguished by excellent color rendition, which makes the picture as realistic as possible. The developers managed to come as close as possible to creating a screen that is most optimally perceived by the human visual organs. This means that the image displayed by such matrices is most easily and pleasantly perceived by the eyes.

Another important advantage of this screen technology is that it has an anti-glare effect. The fact is that the matrix uses a special filter that does not allow the display to fade or fade even in direct sunlight.

1.3. Disadvantages of a Retina display

There is nothing perfect in the world. Like any other technology, Retina matrices also have their disadvantages. Function automatic settings brightness, which is available on any modern device, does not always work flawlessly. In some cases you have to set the brightness level manually. However this a common problem screen, operating system devices, as well as light sensors.

Another disadvantage is that such displays have quite high power consumption, which has surpassed even Amoled matrix. However, to compensate for this shortcoming, the manufacturer equips Apple devices with larger and more powerful batteries.

2. Retina screens in tablets

What is a Retina screen on tablets? As a rule, before buying a tablet, buyers read its description. One of important parameters The thing you should pay attention to is the screen. Very often, when people see the word “Retina,” they don’t understand what it’s about. we're talking about. You already know what a Retina LCD display means, so you shouldn’t have any difficulties when buying a Tablet PC. Retina display in the tablet means that this device has a display with increased pixel density and high resolution.

It is worth noting that scientists managed to further increase the display resolution on the tablet. Now it is higher than Full HD resolution, which is 1920x1080 pixels. For example, iPad4 has a screen size of 2048x1536 pixels. The pixel density is 264 ppi (264 pixels per square inch). Of course, this leads to increased electricity consumption. But at the same time, such permission means even more high quality Images.

3. Review of the iPad mini with Retina display: Video

Of course, today this is no longer the highest resolution, since the largest companies are constantly competing with each other, releasing more modern devices, with higher parameters. So, Google company in response to the iPad4 they released the Nexus, which has a resolution of 2560x1600. Of course, this is not a retina screen, although in terms of parameters it is not inferior to it.

4. Retina screens in monitors

This technology is used not only in the manufacture of screens for mobile devices. This display is also used in new laptop models. The first model was a device from Apple called MacBook Pro. It uses a 15-inch screen with a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels. Of course, the pixel density in such screens is 220 ppi.

Thanks to this, users have the opportunity to process images in Full format HD without downscaling the picture.

Retina matrices are a new word in modern technology that open up new level image quality. With the advent of this technology mobile devices, such as tablets, smartphones, laptops and so on, have become one step closer to desktop computers with high quality monitors.
