100‐4: <i>Invited Paper:</i> The Future of Compact AR Displays: LCoS vs Micro‐LED

The success of Ray‐Ban Meta and the release of Meta Orion have drawn tremendous attention to the wearable AI devices. To be integrated into such applications, LCoS (liquid‐Crystal‐on‐Silicon) and Micro‐LED are redeemed as the most promising micro‐display candidates for their unprecedented high PPI and image quality. In this digest, we would comprehensively compare the key metrics of LCoS and Micro‐LED panels and the optical architecture of light engines built for them. By exploring design and process limitations, Goeroptics sketch the road map to the commercialization of these miniaturized AR displays.
