SID Display Week (DW) 2025 is coming to San Jose, CA, May 11–16. My last two articles discussed LCOS technology I saw at DW 2024 and MicroLEDs for AR at DW 2024. This article will concentrate on Micro-OLED (also known as OLEDs on Silicon), which could be used in optics-see-through (OST) Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) headsets.
SID Display Week (DW) 2025 is coming to San Jose, CA, May 11–16. My last article discussed the LCOS technology I saw at Display Week 2024, and this article will cover many MicroLED technologies. Of the conferences I go to regularly, Display Week has the most information I have found from MicroLED companies in one place.
SID Display Week 2025 is coming to San Jose, CA, May 11–16. Last year's event was a whirlwind of groundbreaking innovations. While I managed to share insights on Jade Bird Display's MicroLED Compensation, I’ve been sitting on information and photos on many other companies from Display Week 2024. With this year's show right around the corner, it's time to dust off those notes and many photos and write about the display and optics technology I found at last year’s Display Week, which was so interesting that I want to go back again this year.
Since starting this blog, I have been interested in AR optical designs that are different from others I have seen. When Xreal showed their Xreal One Pro at CES 2025, I was curious to know how it worked. As it turned out, the design was not as different as I had first thought. But the journey lead me to find some connections between Xreal's optical design and that of, Ant-Reality which was reportedly acquired by Google.
It seems like all of a sudden, several companies including Meta are talking about the issue of disparity. Of particular issue with Meta, Magic Leap, and Avegant is the issue of visual distortion due to the frame twist of AR glasses frames.
Introduction January has always been a crazy month for me. I met with and/or saw presentations from over 29 companies at CES and 59 companies at AR/VR/MR and took about 2,000 between the two conferences. As discussed in SPIE AR/VR/MR…
Introduction I’m in the process of organizing all the information I collected at CES and want to combine it with things I see at SPIE’s AR/VR/MR next week. Many companies showed AR glasses with AI capability at CES, and many…
I wanted to drop a quick note that I am going to be at AR/VR/MR 2025 next week and am looking forward to meeting people and seeing technology. If you want to meet with me, please email meet@kgontech.com. While mentioning AR/VR/MR, I thought it would be good to give my perspective on the conferences I plan to attend (or in the case of CES attended) this year, including CES, SID Display Week, and Augmented World Expo (AWE).
Introduction At SID Display Week in May 2024, MicroLED maker Jade Bird Display (JBD) had a large booth that showed their devices, a number of customer systems, and a “compensation demo.” JBD offered to loan me their compensation demo. After…
Introduction: Challenge from Bosworth Accepted Several people pointed me to an interesting Instagram video AMA (ask me anything) by Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth on October 21, 2024, that appeared to challenge my October 6th article, Meta Orion AR Glasses (Pt.…
