What's Beyond 4K?
8K. It displays 7680x4320 resolution -- about 33 million pixels, which is 16 times that of today's HDTV sets. Sharp showed an 8K prototype at CES in the form of an 85-inch LED display.

"8K is scheduled to be demonstrated at high-profile public venues throughout 2012, including the Summer Olympics," says Sharp's Viken. "The dates for mass production of Sharp 8K products have not yet been determined, but will be timed with the introduction of 8K into the general marketplace.

In addition to the resolution improvements, video technologists are working on other display technologies to enliven the viewing experience. For example, quantum dots (QD), semiconductors with electronic characteristics tied to the size and shape of the individual crystal, are coming to TV displays. The British university research lab which developed the QD technology is working with Korean, Japanese and other TV set makers to create lower cost, energy-efficiency displays and other products possibly available within the next few years.
