IBM Corp. is shipping a high-definition flat-panel display with more than 9 million pixels on a 22" screen. This is, they say, a paper quality display, 12 times sharper than current displays, 4.5 times clearer than HDTV and 10 years ahead of industry expectations. IBM will not say when they expect this technology to reach desktops, but the first units will go to Lawrence Livermore Labs for the Department of Energy's Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) program simulating the operation and aging of nuclear weapons.
