LogInApple's AR headset will reportedly feature micro OLED displays while Samsung is developing AR devices with a "hologram" technology.
Along with the news that Apple's first AR/VR headset will reportedly be launched by the end of the year, it is rumored that the new devices will feature a micro OLED display resulting in a thinner design and consuming less power.
According to the Korea IT News report, Micro OLED displays used in Apple VR devices will be reportedly deposited directly on the chip wafer instead of a glass substrate which will allow them to be smaller and more efficient. Micro OLED displays' capability will feature a pixel size about 10 times smaller than in standard OLED panels –4 to 20 micrometers compared to 40 to 300 micrometers. Those displays will provide a much faster response time will be suitable for a battery-powered headset.
The VR headset application processor (AP) will presumably be applied with Apple’s self-developed system-on-chip M1 Chip and run realityOS – the operating system based on iOS which name was leaked out in Apple's open-source code.
According to the report, Samsung has also started developing its own AR headset but it will not feature OLED or micro OLED displays. Instead of them, the company intends to harness a "hologram" technology that was developed in cooperation with Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT). The company will use Exynos chips and have Google Android as its operating system.
