Abstract: Micro-LED is a once-in-a-generation disruption of the entire display market, using advanced technologies from the semiconductor industry. Micro-LED will enable immersive AR Glasses by offering ultra-high brightness and dynamic range, low power consumption, and compact form factor. They will scale from near-eye-displays all the way to large TVs and video walls and support all display applications with higher efficiency and greater image quality. They will enable realization of old science fiction concepts like hand-held, table-top and wall size transparent displays, light field tables and walls for entertainment, productivity and education, and form-fitted vehicular displays. This talk will provide an overview of the work being done by Mojo Vision to enable Micro-LED. It will include demos that showcase the state of the art.
