aspect ratio

Word Categories

The ratio between the width and the height of a display screen.

A typical aspect ratio for an e-reader is 3:4.

However, there is no standard ratio, and some reading devices (such as smartphones and tablets) allow the screen to be viewed in either landscape orientation or portrait orientation.

Modern desktop computer screens usually have a ratio of 16:9, but again, there is no standard.
