New 8K OLED Displays for Tablets and Laptops: 8.3 and 13.3 Inches
Semiconductor Energy Laboratory, a technology developer from Japan, has developed the industry's first 8.3 and 13.3-inch OLED displays featuring an 8K resolution. The monitors use crystalline oxide semiconductor technology and they are likely preliminary designs for future product commercialization. The company also recently showcased a bendable 8.6-inch OLED panel, potentially for a foldable tablet or smartphone.
Both of SEL's OLED panels featuring a 7680×4320 resolution use a color filter that relies on CAAC-IGZO (c-axis aligned crystalline indium gallium zinc oxide) material. The 8.3-inch 8K panel [boasts] a rather high pixel density of 1061 pixels per inch and has a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The larger 13.3-inch 8K panel features a pixel density of 662 PPI, but has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which is particularly high for an OLED. The 8.3-inch 8Kp60 OLED was demonstrated last month at SEMICON Japan, whereas the 13.3-inch 8Kp120 OLED currently exists only in SEL's labs.

8K is 33 megapixels. There are a few smartphones out there with 40 megapixel cameras, and many smartphones include multiple lenses with different focal lengths or an algorithm to zoom better. Screen resolution shouldn't matter.

So you expect me to scroll around the super hi-rez dickpicks while I'm beating it like it owes me money?
You insensitive clod!

Try it, shrink down a qr code and attempt to scan it. Eventually the pixelation on the screen interferes.

If you are comparing an 8K screen to a 33MP camera, the screen actually represents significantly more data. On camera sensors, the red, green, and blue dots are considered separate pixels. Whereas a group of red, green, and blue dots together make up one pixel on a monitor.
Of course, for a black and white QR code the chroma components don't necessarily matter. And since the pixels on the screen are much larger in reality than the ones on the sensor, any lens should be able bring it into focus at a close enough distance for the code to resolve.
