LG Display just announced a LCD panel for mobile devices with the worlds highest PPI (Pixels Per Inch) pixel density. This new 5.5-inch LCD display panel with 2560 x 1440 resolution that makes 538 PPI, could be perfect for VR HMDs?

This 5.5-inch display panel features 430 nits of brightness, and measures only 1.21mm thick, with 1.2mm bezels. LG claims that it is not only the highest resolution display panel for smartphones, but it is also world's slimmest and narrowest panel, achieved by using AH-IPS technology and Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) substrate.

For comparison; 2560x1440 resolution display panel have 3,686,400 pixels, compared to FullHD 1080p (1920x1080) 2,073,600 pixels. And the display panel in Samsung Galaxy S4 'only' have 441 PPI, while HTC One 'only' have 468 PPI.

Even if this is a prototype, the consumer rift is a long way off yet, perhaps there is yet time to get this
