OLED Microdisplays: Advancing Virtual and Augmented Reality Smart Glasses of Today and Tomorrow

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Size, power, contrast and color space advantages make OLED microdisplays a perfect fit for near-eye applications. Advances in subpixel patterning and the development of stacked OLEDs promise to extend color space and battery life.

Mobile personal electronics and wearables have become immensely popular around the globe, and this has given rise to a new dilemma. Screen content has grown, mainly from multimedia applications, resulting in increased display pixel count. The initial black and white character displays in early mobile phones have evolved into full-HD (FHD), full-color video displays and beyond. Even the screen diagonals have become larger: There is only a single smartphone product on the market featuring FHD active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AM-OLEDs) at <5 in. (Samsung Galaxy S4), but many at...Read full article

    augmented reality
    Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that integrates digital information, typically in the form of computer-generated graphics, images, or data, with the real-world environment in real-time. AR enhances the user's perception of the physical world by overlaying or combining digital content onto the user's view of the real world, often through devices like smartphones, tablets, smart glasses, or specialized AR headsets. Key features and principles of augmented reality: Real-time...
    virtual reality
    Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment or experience that can be interacted with and explored by an individual using electronic devices, such as a headset with a display. VR aims to create a sense of presence, immersing users in a computer-generated world that can be entirely fictional or a replication of the real world. It often involves the use of specialized hardware and software to provide a fully immersive and interactive experience. ...
