Meta launches LCoS powered AI AR glasses, will OLED microdisplays ever find a market in AR?

A few days ago, Meta introduced its first AI smart glasses product with a display, the Meta Ray-Ban Display. The display is projected on the right side (it uses a single panel, not two), and it offers a 600x600 resolution, 20-degrees FOV (42 FPD pixel density) - and a brightness of 5,000 nits.

According to reports, Meta chose an LCoS display panel (produced by Omnivision) and waveguides by Lumus. The Meta Ray-Ban Display, which will last for 6 hours in "mixed-use", will ship in a few days, starting at $799 in the US.

 

It is very interesting to see that Meta chose an LCoS. Today the three leading microdisplay technologies are LCoS, OLEDs, and microLEDs. In this article we will discuss the three technologies, and speculate where the market will be headed in the years ahead, and also get some expert views.
