Retina

/ˈrɛtɪnə/noun
ELI5 mode

The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the vertebrate eye that captures images by converting light into electrical signals for the brain, playing a crucial role in vision and color perception. In everyday tech lingo, it also refers to high-resolution screens like those on smartphones, which deliver such sharp visuals that they mimic the eye's natural detail, revolutionizing how we interact with digital content.
