Get ready for a new era of miniature displays . Scientists have developed the tiniest pixel ever made – just 300 × 300 nanometers – and it's bright enough to rival today's standard pixels.

The work of researchers from the University of Würzburg in Germany opens new possibilities for displays inside virtual reality (VR) headsets and augmented reality (AR) smart glasses.

At 250 times smaller than the width of a human hair , their new pixel could be used in a 1920 x 1080 (full HD) resolution screen that fits into a square millimeter – tiny enough to tuck into a lens and put information into your line of sight as you wander around the world.

The nano-pixel achieves brightness on par with pixels in modern OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens, which are roughly 16-17 times bi
