Do mobile devices use lower resolutions because they are bound by their small embedded screen?
The inherently small screen is definitely one reason. Other reasons include bandwidth constraints when talking about mobile TV, and memory constraints on portable devices — the higher the resolution, the more memory required. Nevertheless, Lumus’ large screen enables device manufacturers to significantly increase resolution and thereby enhance the viewing experience. Lumus sees this happening as a second step after its QVGA/VGA video eyeglasses have been successful in market.
