Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional display technologies fail to effectively differentiate visual angle information across directions, leading to inefficient use of pixels and inability to meet diverse application requirements, as they maintain equal pixel ratios in all directions, which does not align with human sensitivity and display needs.
