According to a recently discovered patent, LG is taking aim at the dreaded screen-door effect: detailed is a display “capable of alleviating a screen-door effect,” thus improving image quality inside VR. It doesn’t sound like LG’s new display targets resolution — instead, the patent describes a “light diffusion member” that is placed between the display panel and the lenses.



Screen-door effect relates to being able to see the gaps between pixels in a VR headset’s display, which is magnified by the pair of lenses you peer through. Higher-resolution displays with increased pixel density can improve upon this issue; a 4K image will be much clearer than, say what’s on offer with the 1080p display inside PlayStation VR, though even then there’s still a long way to go before images reach a retinal resolution.
