Apple is accelerating R&D in the field. Its VR headset is expected to be launched in the second half of this year. LG Display and LG Innotek are also conducting a lot of R&D activities in order to dominate this emerging market.
The displays of Apple’s first XR devices are likely to be supplied by LG Display and Sony. LG Display is developing OLEDoS panels to that end. The panel is characterized by OLED application to a silicon wafer and a very high resolution of 3,500 PPI for more realistic AR.
LG Innotek recently released two-metal COF, which is characterized by at least 4,000 circuits that can be formed on both sides of one film whereas existing COFs are for single-sided circuit formation. The increase in circuit count means improved pixels and a higher level of immersion.
