Question: The MacBook uses a series of IPS panel displays that offer what compared to traditional displays?
Context: ISO 13406-2 is an ISO standard, with the full title "Ergonomic requirements for work with visual displays based on flat panels -- Part 2: Ergonomic requirements for flat panel displays".  It is best known to end consumers for defining a series of flat-panel display "classes" with different numbers of permitted defects (or "dead pixels").  ISO 13406-2 also provides a classification of Viewing Direction Range Classes and Reflection Classes.  NOTE: Most manufacturer's of replacement LED screens are required to tell the consumer that their policy states 2-3 dead pixels may be visible on the replacement screen. NanoLumens Inc. is a private American corporation that designs and manufactures digital LED displays.  Since its founding in 2006, the company has designed products that target the market gap between consumer flat panel displays and commercial outdoor LED billboards in indoor spaces.  The company is best known for creating the world’s first large-format flexible display, the NanoFlex 112”; but now has a full product line of fixed, indoor LED displays in any size, shape, or curvature.  The company is currently headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, a North Atlanta suburb. The MacBook is a line of Macintosh portable computers introduced in March 2015 by Apple Inc.  The MacBook has a similar appearance to the MacBook Air, but is thinner and lighter, and is available in colours called space grey, silver, gold, and rose gold.  It offers a high-resolution Retina Display, a Force Touch trackpad, a redesigned keyboard, and only two ports: a headphone jack and a USB 3.1 Type-C port for charging, data transfer and video output. A surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) is a display technology for flat panel displays developed by a number of companies.  SEDs use nanoscopic-scale electron emitters to energize colored phosphors and produce an image.  In a general sense, an SED consists of a matrix of tiny cathode ray tubes, each "tube" forming a single sub-pixel on the screen, grouped in threes to form red-green-blue (RGB) pixels. SEDs combine the advantages of CRTs, namely their high contrast ratios, wide viewing angles and very fast response times, with the packaging advantages of LCD and other flat panel displays.  They also use much less power than an LCD television of the same size. AFC manufactured electrodes on glass for flat panel displays.  These electrodes are used in liquid crystal displays (LCD), plasma displays, and auto-dimming car mirrors utilizing electrochromism.  Major early customers were Burroughs (now Unisys) in New Jersey, IBM in East Fishkill and Kingston, New York, numerous Asian producers of LCD's, Gentex in Holland, Michigan, Plasmaco (now Panasonic Plasma Display Lab) in Highland, New York, and Samsung in Gumi, South Korea.  The main method of coating these electrodes on glass was magnetron sputter deposition, specifically the planar magnetron , John S. Chapin , "Sputtering process and apparatus", published 1979-08-28, assigned to Airco, Inc., later assigned to BOC Group Inc  .  The main materials were indium tin oxide transparent electrical conductor, silicon dioxide diffusion barrier, and chromium and copper conductors. Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (日本電気硝子株式会社 , Nippon Denki Garasu Kabushiki-gaisha ) , also known as NEG, is a Japanese glass manufacturer.  The company is a manufacturer of glass for flat panel displays (FPD).  It has about 20% share in the world's production of glass for liquid crystal displays (LCD). DB13W3 (13W3) is a particular style of D-subminiature connector commonly used as an analog video interface connector that was used primarily on Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics and IBM RISC workstations, as well as some displays from Apple Computer, NeXT Computer and Intergraph Corporation.  The 13W3 connector is no longer used with modern displays; it was superseded for use with analog displays by the VGA connector, and as the display market has moved to digital flat panel displays that has in turn been replaced almost entirely by digital connections (DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort.) Retina Display is a brand name used by Apple for its series of IPS panel displays that have a higher pixel density than traditional displays.  Apple has applied to register the term "Retina" as a trademark in regard to computers and mobile devices with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Canadian Intellectual Property Office, and in Jamaica.  On November 27, 2012 the US Patent and Trademark office approved Apple's application and "Retina" is now a registered trademark for computer equipment. Flat-panel displays are electronic viewing technologies used to enable people to see content (still images, moving images, text, or other visual material) in a range of entertainment, consumer electronics, personal computer, and mobile devices, and many types of medical, transportation and industrial equipment.  They are far lighter and thinner than traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) television sets and video displays and are usually less than 10 cm thick.  Flat-panel displays can be divided into two display device categories: volatile and static.  Volatile displays require that pixels be periodically electronically refreshed to retain their state (e.g., liquid-crystal displays (LCD)).  A volatile display only shows an image when it has battery or AC mains power.  Static flat-panel displays rely on materials whose color states are bistable (e.g., e-book reader tablets from Sony), and as such, flat-panel displays retain the text or images on the screen even when the power is off.  As of 2016, flat-panel displays have almost completely replaced old CRT displays.  In many 2010-era applications, specifically small portable devices such as laptops, mobile phones, smartphones, digital cameras, camcorders, point-and-shoot cameras, and pocket video cameras, any display disadvantages of flat-panels (as compared with CRTs) are made up for by portability advantages (thinness and lightweightness). Electronic paper and e-paper are display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.  Unlike conventional backlit flat panel displays that emit light, electronic paper displays reflect light like paper.  This may make them more comfortable to read, and provide a wider viewing angle than most light-emitting displays.  The contrast ratio in electronic displays available as of 2008 approaches newspaper, and newly (2008) developed displays are slightly better.  An ideal e-paper display can be read in direct sunlight without the image appearing to fade.
Answer: higher pixel density
