Pixel per Inch (Display Density)

Introduction : Measures pixel density in digital displays. Higher PPI means crisper visuals, as more pixels are packed into each inch of screen space.

History & Origin : Gained prominence with the rise of LCD/LED screens in the 2000s. Apple's Retina displays (2010) popularized high-PPI screens (300+ PPI) for consumer devices.

Current Use : Key specification for smartphones (400+ PPI), monitors, and TVs. Affects perceived image quality—human eyes typically can't distinguish pixels beyond 300 PPI at normal viewing distances.

Dot per Centimeter (Metric Print Resolution)

Introduction : A metric alternative to DPI, measuring dots per centimeter for printing and scanning. Commonly used in countries where the metric system is standard.

History & Origin : Adopted in the late 20th century alongside ISO metrication efforts, particularly in Europe and Asia for printer specifications.

Current Use : Used in medical imaging (e.g., 40 DPCM for ultrasound prints) and industrial printing where metric units are required.
