Apple is probably deep into creating its own glasses for the world of augmented and mixed reality. There have always been rumors, leaks or small details in the past that give us a better idea of ​​”Glass”. A South Korean magazine now reports, Apple now wants to switch to a special panel technology for the display.
Already In the spring of 2019 This was the first hint of Apple’s own AR glasses, which were supposed to be presented a year later – that is, in 2020. Although the presentation was repeatedly delayed, exciting details about the glasses, called Apple Glass, continued to surface.
There should be no question that Apple is giving the specs their own chip, as is the case with MacBooks now. Ever-popular analyst Ming-Chi Kuo last year doubted that Apple could rely on two processors with Mac-level computing power. After having a pair of glasses that makes perfect sense Different optical modules should exist, which requires continuous processing.
Small and yet high-resolution: OLEDoS panels
However, the focus is on smaller displays where mixed reality content will be shown. Apple has been experimenting here for some time and seems to be looking for the best solution, as early 2020 was the first indication of Sony micro-OLED panels. 1280×960 pixels doesn’t sound really sharp, but with a diagonal of only 0.5 inches Pixel density of incredible 3,200 ppi reached
how now elec According to a South Korean magazine, Apple is said to make changes in display production. Based on unspecified sources, it is stated that Samsung Display and LG Display are also possible for production and are supposed to produce higher resolution displays with 3,500 ppi. Here are the keywords: OLEDoSwhat kind OLED on silicon stands up.
A higher pixel density will ultimately ensure an even crisper picture and possibly increase immersion as well. However, OLEDoS does not use glass as a substrate and instead uses silicon, resulting in an overall thinner layer than conventional OLED panels (with a glass substrate). Additionally, you can More pixels in the same area Accommodates what is suitable for AR/MR glasses.
LG Display already has a decent panel At SID 2020 Presents: 0.42 inches tall, with 3,500 ppi and a Brightness up to 5,000 nits. Crazy that 1280 x 960 pixels fit into an area of ​​13.4 x 7.1 mm, right? Samsung is even making an LEDOS panel with 6,600 ppi, crazy.
So when are the AR glasses coming?
Both LG and Samsung could be active as suppliers of Apple’s AR glasses as early as next year. According to reports, Sony is expected to join in 2024. Whether or not Apple will introduce “Glass” in 2023 Wait one more year? Let’s be surprised, because all the information so far is based on inside information, rumors or guesswork. However, there has been no official statement from Apple so far.
