Samsung Display has revealed its predictions for the AR device’s display technology. The company believes that the micro LED display technology is the choice for AR (augmented reality), which is much better than OLED.
For those unaware, micro LED is a relatively newer display technology, which Kim Min-woo, head of Samsung Display’s group, believes is the future for AR devices. He stated that “To realize augmented reality (AR), a high-brightness display is necessary.” Thus, the senior official said that this display technology is the most suitable for AR devices.
Samsung Display is currently working on making OLED that will be used for virtual reality based devices’ displays. Although, Kim further added that the implementation of AR, VR, or even mixed reality devices are not the same. He said that “Unlike VR, which is disconnected from reality (external environment), AR must have high luminance, light weight, and small panel size because it has to implement images outdoors.”
AR devices also have to be used outdoors while overlaying the virtual world on top of the real world. However, since OLEDs have lower luminance than LEDs, micro LEDs bring advantages over OLEDs, with their high brightness, higher resolution, longer lifespan, and even form factor as well. Kim stated that “A pixel density of 5000 PPI or higher is required for AR display. should be reduced to 3 μm or less.”
