In fact, this structure was realized when super-magnifying the pixel of Apple Watch

Bryan Jones, a retinal neuroscientist and photographer at the University of Utah in the U.S., has released an image of how Apple's Watch's display is super-magnified with a microscope and pixels appear side by side.

This is an enlarged image of Apple Watch's display. In order to emphasize the "black" used as the background of the Apple Watch's home screen, the brightness ratio of pixels is designed to increase the proportion of black, and only blue pixels are bigger and more oriented It is also interesting that 90 degrees are different. Apple Watch used for shooting was a 42 mm model with a display resolution of 312 × 390 pixels. The density of the pixel is 326 ppi and the resolution is different from the 38 mm model Apple Watch.


On the other hand, the following image shows the iPhone 6 display enlarged. Jones said, "Even with the same Retina display, the appearance of Apple Watch and iPhone 6 pixels are quite different," why the reason is "Although there is no confirmation, since Apple Watch's display uses organic EL Is it? "Commented. The most surprising thing about Mr. Jones is that Apple Watch's display compared to iPhone 6 in its pixel size was extremely small, "By reducing the parts that emit light, you can keep the resolution high while loading the battery We are reducing it so that we can better hold the battery and prevent it from getting excessively hot, "Jones analyzes.


The state of the display when pressing the display of the Apple Watch strongly and activating the electrostatic capacitive pressurizing sensor is as follows and the contact element is on the red, green and blue pixels and the contact element is orange It is displayed in dot form. According to the design of Apple Watch, the distance between the pixel and the contact element is very close, it looks like this.


In Apple Watch, such pixels are spread with fineness that can not be confirmed with the naked eye. These photos are made by OlympusBinocular stereomicroscopeAnd Canon'sEOS-1D Mark IIIIt seems to have taken with.


In addition, Mr. Jones's blog also includes pictures comparing the pixels of the iPhone 4 with Retina display for the first time and the iPhone 3G one generation agouploadSo that you can see at a glance the difference in pixel alignment for each terminal.
