Abstract
In 2001, IBM introduced the T221 LCD display. With a wide (16 × 10) aspect ratio, a 22.2″ diagonal screen area, and a spatial resolution of 204 dpi, the display was designed to be truly “paper-like.” It was designed to get as close as possible to replicating the quality of image that one would expect to see in a quality print publication. In this chapter, we shall trace the IBM heritage that led to the specification of the displays, look at the technology achievement that the displays represented, and consider why the design point has not been taken up by the industry as a norm.
