# Samsung Developing an Astounding 11k Mobile Display

![](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11k.jpg>)

- Work began last month, and the South Korean Government is playing an instrumental role in the project as it’s earmarking $26.5 million over the course of 5 years.
- 11k would result in an insanely high resolution of 2250 pixels per inch. By way of contrast, the incredible Retina Display on the iPhone 6 Plus packs a pixel density of 401.
- Addressing the utility of such a high-res display, the report notes that when you pack in so many pixels into a mobile device, the display gives off a 3D-effect which would make for a rather lukewarm selling point.
