Researchers at the University of Michigan claims to beat Apple’s previous acclamation over their feature on iPhone’s “retina display” that was described as its pixels were said to be minute that even the naked human eye couldn’t decipher the exact density of one from the other; Michigam’s researchers was able to make a technology they termed as plasmonic nanophotonics ready to beat off former Apple’s discoveries. The university’s nanophotonics works similarly more like the natural occurring rainbow reflecting light from raindrops only that nanophotonics would be using nano-thin metal grates for light refraction instead of raindrops of course.
Wired.com displayed few of the examples of this plasmonic nanophotonics one of which was the university logo seemingly appearing to be a little bit blurry but you will be amazed to know that it is only 12 x 9 microns measuring about 1/6th of the human hair! It does not only beat Apples retina display when it comes to color dimensions on microns and stuff but University of Michigan’s technology also offers more convenient energy consumption rates as it only requires 5 percent of the backlight of an LCD screen as according to Jay Guo, an engineering professor expert. All said, maybe in time, Apple will be humble enough to work with University of Michigan and try to finally acquire this innovatively amazing color tech.
