AR Optics: Insights from IDTechEx at CES 2024
Apple's Vision Pro has recently grabbed all the headlines in the spatial computing world, following years of hype and rumors of Apple bringing a headset to market. The Vision Pro is thought to be merely the opening salvo of the tech giant's strategy, with see-through augmented reality (AR) devices expected to be the endgame.

What Does the Future Hold for AR Display Technology?
Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) headsets share, on the surface, 90% of the same component parts. However, two key technologies separate the former product category, which has sold in the millions on the consumer mass market, from the latter, which is yet to crack the mainstream market. Near-eye optics form one part of the puzzle, but display systems offer an equal challenge.

MICLEDI
Jade Bird Display, like MICLEDI, currently uses a 3-panel approach for RGB color integration in microLED displays. It is unclear whether it is selling RGB displays at this point, but its monochrome VGA microLED displays are already in volume production, with green panels used in commercial devices from Vuzix. MICLEDI believes its own process has advantages in terms of yield and foundry compatibility.
