Scalable images are also needed for printing -- regardless of poxy video display issues (really -- 72 or 100 dpi is still pretty poxy). However, A recent Scientific American article (an isssue from this past summer) described a new LCD display with > 200 dpi resolution, in full color, and readable in daylight (I believe it was a passive panel that used reflective light) The researchers projected 600 dpi before long. A display with the resolution of printed paper -- now that's an exciting prospect! Ian > At 8:20a +0000 12/06/96, Robert P Cunningham wrote: > >>Let's see...
