With the development of the times, people are no longer satisfied with exploring the real world and have begun to explore the stage of mixed reality (MR), which has made considerable technological progress today in 2022.
1 About VR/AR
Compared to the popularity of mixed reality (MR), we are more familiar with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and they have become an indispensable part of people's lives, widely used in entertainment, education, medical and other fields.
AR/VR, as a currently popular virtual sensory interaction technology, satisfies people's infinite pursuit of visual senses. So vision is also a core requirement for upgrading AR/VR products, and display technology has become one of the core technologies driving the development of the AR/VR industry.
2 Display Technology
Currently, AR/VR mainly uses display technology systems such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode screens (OLEDs).

In terms of performance, organic light-emitting diode screens (OLEDs) are far superior to liquid crystal displays (LCDs). OLEDs generate visible light through the injection or recombination of charge carriers, and are a type of light-emitting device that does not require external backlighting. Therefore, their structure is relatively simple and can be very thin. In addition, OLED has higher contrast, better color restoration effect, and higher resolution, so most fully immersive headsets use OLED display technology.
