Samsung Display and LG Display both develop OLED on Silicon (OLEDoS) and LED on Silicon (LEDoS) technologies. These micro-display technologies are intended to be applied to virtual and augmented reality devices.
LG Display started developing OLEDoS for Apple, but also recently started developing LEDoS technology. The company’s OLEDoS is set to be used in Cupertino’s first mixed reality device which will debut next year.
The OLEDoS inside Apple’s HMD device will be provided by Sony and the exterior display by LG Display which was first covered by Patently Apple in mid-July. The Japanese Sony is currently the leader in OLEDoS and uses white OLEDs and red, green and blue color filters.
Now, Samsung Display is aiming to deliver its OLEDoS to parent company Samsung in 2024 with 3,000 pixels per inch (ppi) resolution and 10,000 nits brightness.
For LEDoS, the South Korean display panel maker is aiming for a resolution of 6,000 to 7,000 ppi. OLEDoS is for virtual reality devices and LEDoS is for augmented reality devices. For more, read The Elec’s full report.
