Samsung Display is planning to develop world’s first 11K super-resolution display by working together with industry and education. Government is investing 26.5 million dollars by stages for 5 years hereafter.
At 10th Display Field National Research Development Business General Workshop that was held at Muju Deogyusan Resort, Executive Director Chu Hye Yong of Samsung Display’s Base Technology Department said that it is challenging itself to develop super-resolution display with 2250 ppi, which is number of pixels per inch that is 3 times higher than previous resolution, and started development process with 13 domestic and foreign companies starting from the 1st of June.

This business is part of GiGA Korea’s business that is being led by Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning (MSIP), and name of the project is EnDK. It is predicted that prototype can be shown to the public at 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics at the earliest.
As a main company that is overseeing the project, Samsung Display is aiming for a goal that allows 2250 ppi-level 11K display for mobiles to implement 3D-effect. If display panel’s resolution increases extremely, there is an optical illusion where it is same as watching 3D screen. Because 11K is able to show screen colors in detail, it is able to show 3D-effect.
Currently 500 ppi-level 2K (2560x1440) display product is being released as one with the best specification in mobile display field.

Very interested in this "3D effect", anyone know anything about this? Would it be "passive" or require compatible content, I wonder?
 
Seeing as how it's mentioned as an optical illusion I would assume it will work with all content . Seems weird that mobile , where battery is hammerd majorly by the screens usage is going to be the point of introduction . I suppose it's eaiser to manufacture a smaller screen but then again at the same time more costly ? . So many more questions
 
Sounds interesting. Ignoring the 3D effect, would you actually be able to see the difference between 4K and 8K? Or even 11K?
 
I actually laughed reaching this must at the crazy resolution. They should be congratulated just for their ambition regardless of need or practicality. Imagine if Apple had announced this...
 
I really wish they'd stop with the "K" nonsense. It does not tell us what resolution they're actually talking about.

Especially when "4k" isn't actually 4000 and 8k is even further away from 8000 than "4k".
 
There is a point where more pixels isn't really better :p

I used my friends phone which I think has a 1440 screen? And you couldn't see pixels on that!! Why do we need several times as many?? Or are we going to be carrying 40" phones? :D
 
Hopefully they delay the Oculus Rift for this screen technology then, or else we wait until the 2nd gen one that most likely will use it as those kind of screen specs would only be properly suited to massive tv's and obviously VR as I think even at 2k/4k I still think we might see some door screen effects.

Gives us time to upgrade yet AGAIN for a decent VR experience
