DPI is a resolution. It is not the ratio between resolution and size. It already has the units of resolution: 1/length.

Sorry, I badly misread your original comment: I read it as "I saw [a reference saying that] the two were the same," not "I've seen at least two displays with the same density."

Oh, OK. No problem.
