What is the Retina Display?

It has a resolution of 326 dpi. To know more about this interesting display, please click here.
What is the resolution?
Imagine you see a vehicle coming toward you on the highway from miles away. Is it a motorcycle with one headlight, or a car with two? As the vehicle approaches, the light splits into two, and you see it’s the headlights from a car. But when it was miles away, your eye couldn’t tell if it was one light or two. That’s because at that distance your eye couldn’t resolve the two headlights into two distinct sources of light.
The ability to see two sources very close together is called resolution.
At a given distance, two objects closer together have a smaller angle separating them, making them harder to distinguish from each other.
What is a Pixel?
