At this point, I'd be more concerned with improving the optics: lenses that don't smudge and don't have the Fresnel lens flaring, or perhaps even with a wider field of view.


Improving resolution allows for reading text smaller than a billboard. FOV and lens flare are bad, but text is a higher priority IMO.


this has impact in lenses as well, because with high enough resolution you could emulate lenses on the screen.


You can't "emulate lenses on a screen" unless it's a lightfield display (which it's not).

With higher resolution you could correct for more lens distortion, but you still need lenses, and you won't be able to fix lens flare on fresnel lenses.


You'll have to give me more details about that, because that seems physically impossible to me (at least with the common definition of "screen").


Interesting, I wonder whether dynamically adjustable lenses can be used to treat vision problems.


I quite sure that's physically impossible with an oled display.
