World's Tiniest Pixel Shatters Records... But There's a Catch

World's Tiniest Pixel Shatters Records

Scientists have developed the tiniest pixel ever made, measuring 300 × 300 nanometers, and it's bright enough to rival today's standard pixels.

The work of researchers from the University of Würzburg in Germany opens new possibilities for displays inside virtual reality (VR) headsets and augmented reality (AR) smart glasses.

The nano-pixel achieves brightness on par with pixels in modern OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens, which are roughly 16-17 times bigger.
