Samsung Display, a subsidiary of Samsung, has recently confirmed that they are developing LEDoS silicon based LED display technology for augmented reality and are expected to bring the next generation of AR head displays in the coming years. Among them, Samsung's goal is to make LEDoS possess all the qualities of OLEDoS while reducing its limitations.

Display screen manufacturers, who are facing new development opportunities in head display devices, are also developing suitable displays for this type of product. Last week, there was news that LG Display was exploring the use of silicon-based OLED displays for VR devices. According to the latest reports from foreign media, Samsung Display, a competitor of LG Display, has started developing silicon based LED displays for AR devices.

Samsung Display has started developing silicon based LED displays for AR devices, as revealed by Gong Min Kim, Vice President of Samsung Display and head of the technical strategy team, at a meeting. He believes that silicon based LED displays will replace silicon based OLED displays as the main display screen for AR devices in the future.

Gong Min Kim also stated at the meeting that silicon-based OLED displays have limitations in brightness, size, and lifespan when used in AR devices, but silicon-based LED displays can overcome these shortcomings. However, foreign media also mentioned in their reports that silicon based LED displays also face the challenge of keeping LED characteristics as small as possible.

At present, the main micro display technologies in the field of micro displays include silicon-based liquid crystal (LCOS), silicon-based OLED (Micro OLED), silicon-based Micro LED, DLP display, and laser scanning galvanometer. In terms of the selection of optical display technology, most AR products adopt the current mainstream Micro OLED technology, with a few adopting Micro LED technology.

In addition to Samsung, manufacturers such as Apple, Meta, and Google are also optimistic about the application prospects of Micro LED micro displays in the AR field, and have collaborated with Micro LED manufacturers through acquisitions and other forms. In the future, with the advancement of Micro LED micro display technology, it is expected to accelerate the introduction of more AR devices.
