Sony's been touting the subpixel matrix in this display, so we decided to whip out our microscope and take a closer look.

On the left we have a traditional LED-backlit IPS display from an iPhone 6s.

And on the right is PS VR's AMOLED display featuring a hexagonal subpixel matrix, consistent with other Samsung-made OLED displays found in their flagship smartphones.

And because we know you can't see those subpixels we've included a magnified view of the OLED panel. Although there is only an 18% increase in pixel density, the pixels on the headset display seem tiny due to its unique subpixel matrix.
