Samsung Display and LG Display targeting XR Display Technologies

This is intended to get the upper hand in the market that helps to grow rapidly.

In this era of technology, where new features and advancements play a vital role. These days multiple new generations of mixed reality (XR) devices will be predicted to get launched next year on the market. It includes Apple’s headset, also as per the info revealed by some leaks, the mass production of the same is speculated to start in the first quarter. Samsung Display is focusing on microdisplay R&D The next in the line is Sony’s PlayStation VR2. While Meta launched the Meta Quest Pro last month, and Meta’s AR glasses. On the other hand, Google’s headsets are predicted to debut in 2024.

As the XR device market is forecast to grow, subsequently display makers are also focusing on it. The reason is the display is comparatively higher in XR than in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Because in XR, the camera is needed in order to faithfully reproduced. On the other hand, high-pixel VR realization is required at the same time.

As per the market research firms, the AR and VR display market is predicted to rise from US$578 million to US$7.2 billion from 2021 to 2027 respectively. While the CAGR estimate amounts to 51.8 percent.

Currently, micro OLED and LED display semiconductors combinations are the two technologies that attract the maximum attention in the XR display industry. The same can be represented as LED and OLED deposition on silicon wafers in place of existing glass and plastic display substrates.

Therefore, in order to achieve a high level of immersion in an XR device. The weight of its high pixel and high brightness display tends to be reduced. While the microdisplay is very small still it allows fine processing. It is suitable for that role and also suitable for glasses-type XR devices in particular

Samsung focusing on microdisplay R&D

In contrast, South Korean (Samsung display) makers are focusing on microdisplay R&D. This is intended to get the upper hand in the market that helps to grow rapidly. While Samsung Display is developing both OLED and LED microdisplays for use in XR devices. Notably, its bulk production and commercialization target years are 2024 and 2026 respectively.

On the other hand, LG Display is targeting OLED microdisplays. The company recently realized a resolution of 3500 ppi on a 0.42-inch OLED on silicon. While its supply to giants like Apple and Meta is expected next year.
