Breakthrough Hardware Technology
When it
comes to HD displays, great resolution is just the start. Unlike many
other tablets,
Kindle Fire HD also delivers rich color and deep contrast
from every angle, with an advanced polarizing filter and custom
anti-glare technology.
High Definition Touchscreen Display
Rich,
immersive, video. Beautiful, vivid photos. Crisp, detailed text. Enjoy
your favorite content on a large, beautiful 1920x1200 display, capable
of playing movies and TV shows in up to 1080p high definition. At 254
ppi, the display on Kindle Fire HD 8.9" is high enough quality that
individual pixels are indistinguishable to the human eye. The result, an
unparalleled viewing experience, no matter what you want to watch.
Reduced Screen Glare
Most
tablet displays are made up of two pieces of glass - an LCD on the
bottom and a touch sensor on the top, separated by an air gap. With an
air gap, light reflects off of every surface as it passes through from
the front, creating multiple distracting reflections that reduce display
contrast. Kindle Fire HD solves this air gap problem by laminating the
touch sensor and the LCD together into a single layer of glass, creating
a display that's easy to view, even in overhead light.
Richer Colors at Wider Angles
Like
many tablets, Kindle Fire HD uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) to improve
color reproduction. But displays that only use IPS still appear washed
out at various angles, such as laid sideways when reading in bed, laid
flat on a table, or held between you and a friend when sharing a movie.
Kindle Fire HD addresses this issue by applying an advanced polarizing
filter directly to the LCD panel. This results in a display that shows
the same deep contrast and rich, detailed color when viewed at any
angle.
