Description

Eye Anatomy: In the context of the eye, the retina is a layer of tissue located at the back of the eye. It contains light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain through the optic nerve, where they are interpreted as visual images. Computing: In the field of computing, the term "retina display" is often used to describe a high-resolution screen that has pixel density so high that the individual pixels are difficult to discern at a normal viewing distance. Apple popularized this term with its high-resolution displays used in devices like iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. Biology: In a broader biological context, the term "retina" may also be used to describe a light-sensitive layer in certain invertebrates and other organisms.
