What you see pictured above is the world’s smallest full HD display. It’s been unveiled today by ORTUS, a joint venture established between Casio and Toppan Printing earlier this year. Sized at just 4.8 inches, the HAST (Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT) screen features 1,920×1,080 resolution and a pixel density of 458ppi.

The new screen also features 16.8 million colors and 160 degree viewing angle. ORTUS expects it to be used for high performance security monitoring, for example.

By way of comparison: the iPhone 4′s Retina Display is sized at 3.5 inches, features 960×640 resolution and a pixel density of “just” 326ppi.
