An interesting article about the resolution of retina display and the resolving power of retina

Wednesday, June 20, 2012

Since our lab is studying retina, I am intrigued in reading this article about the limitation of retina display by Apple, how we see and the future of developing better displays. From cultofmac by John Brownlee: Why Retina Isn’t Enough Apple’s new MacBook Pro follows the fine tradition of the iPhone 4 and third-gen iPad […]

A good review paper on the architecture of retina

Friday, June 26, 2009

I read several classic papers when I am planning projects with some of you. This is a very good review paper on the fundamental architecture of retina. There are a lot useful histological facts and observations. It has great discussions on how the retinal architecture has evolved and in turn provides the necessary visual functions […]
