Next-Gen Vision: VR/AR Revolutionizing Near-Eye Displays- Overview of Head-Mounted Devices

VR, MR, and AR have become bridges connecting humans between the real and virtual worlds. The development focus of VR/MR is on lightweight design and providing better immersion, allowing the application of the devices to extend beyond just the leisure and entertainment fields. As the mainstream technology used in high-end products, OLEDoS focuses on further enhancing specifications such as brightness and PPI. Meanwhile, mature technologies like glass OLED and LCD are also actively integrating backplane technologies, including LTPO, to balance the requirements of mainstream products in terms of specifications and cost. With the assistance of AI capabilities, AR glasses are now able to meet the consensus on specifications and design requirements for lightweight, power-efficient, and high-brightness clear images. In the area of display optics, LCoS is currently a relatively balanced option. LEDoS is highly anticipated by the industry for its compact size and high brightness, while OLEDoS maintains its competitive edge in both VR/MR and AR fields through panel miniaturization. Waveguide, as the mainstream optical solution, also plays an indispensable role in achieving miniaturization, low power consumption, and high efficiency. Moreover, there is ample room for optimization in materials selection, processing methods, and structural design.
