Retina stands for the fact that the retina display has actually more pixels than our human eye (retina) is possible to see. It delivers stunning picture quality, and is far more crisper than a full HD TV.
The Retina Display is a high-resolution display used by Apple. On the iPad it uses a 2048x1536 display. Twice that of the older generation iPads.
Hilariously, yes, the retina display in ipads is made by Samsung.Apple and Samsung are incredibly fierce rivals, always arguing and headbutting each other. Apple pulled out of a deal with PayPal that could have earned them millions, just because PayPal is also partners with Samsung.In the end, it looks like Samsung gets the laugh last, having their products installed into the device owned by a corporation that despises them.
