Ever since the launch of the Apple Vision Pro, AR/VR displays have been in an arms race to see who can pack in the most pixels. The Apple Vision Pro set a new standard with its dual 3660 x 3200 displays, one for each eye. Samsung and Google are looking to outdo Apple with Project Moohan, but they they aren’t the only ones.
Project Moohan is reported to feature 3552 × 3480 displays, totaling 3800 pixels-per-inch. While micro-OLED displays are costly to produce, they are growing within the market as production methods become more effecient, with two new devices out of China featuring dual displays with resolutions of 3840 x 3552 each. The Play for Dream MR headset and MeganeX Superlight 8K, which cost $2,000 and $1,900, respectively, both feature these displays, which is most likely the same panel.
Meta’s upcoming AR smart glasses include an integrated display
It appears most major manufacturers are at least noticing the growing micro-OLED market. LG Display is reported to be preparing for mass production of micro-OLED displays for headsets, and Samsung exhibited a prototype of its own in-house 3552 × 3480 display at this year’s CES. This new panel is assumed to be used as the display for the upcoming Project Moohan.
