What They Say
Digitimes reported that Foxconn is developing microLED-based AR smart glasses with Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories (EOSRL) as part of a three year ITRI project. The EOSRL devices are said to be based on 5 micron blue LEDs with QD colour conversion which are due in early 2021.
What We Think
The high brightness needed for AR makes microLED a good candidate technology. That Foxconn is looking at this kind of device is no surprise, it would be a surprise if it wasn’t. There were reports a few months ago that the firm had been working on lenses for this kind of device. (BR)
