I am theorizing that there will be (or can be) an HD resolution standard of the future that renders further advances superfluous. Eh?
Human photoreceptors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rods_and_cones
"The human retina contains about 125 million rod cells and 6 million cone cells"
Math:
x * y = 131,000,000 total rod cells and cone cells
(assuming they have equal importance even though some are only "gray-scale" in a sense. Also, both eyes receive comparative overlapping pictures, since we focus on the same point with both, so we only need the number of an individual eye's receptors)
16y = 10x
(I know vision isn't 16:10, but just for reference)
x = 1.6y
1.6 * y2 = 131000000
y = (131000000 / 1.6)-1/2
x = 14474.57 y = 9048.48
If you round out for comfortable display size, I would make it a 15120 x 9450 panel. That's 81 1680 x 1050 panels. A little outrageous by contemporary standards, but mathematically feasible in a decade or so.
Does anyone know more about optical receptors? Is my logic too much of a generalization? I'm fascinated with the concept of a display panel that could theoretically display images or real-time animation with the same level of detail of the human eye; essentially a window into another world!
