传三星和LG开发AR/VR用Micro LED/Micro OLED技术
三星显示器和LG Display传开始开发Micro LED（LEDoS）和Micro OLED（OLEDoS）技术，以应用于AR、VR设备。
韩媒TheElec报导，LEDoS主要用于AR设备，OLEDoS则用于VR设备。过去类似技术为LCoS（Liquid Crystal on Silicon，硅基液晶），通过硅基材制成1英寸显示屏幕，与采玻璃基材传统显示屏幕不同。
通过采用硅基板制造显示器，尽管尺寸很小，但可达超高分辨率，适用AR、VR等需高分辨率的产品。

目前OLEDoS技术领导者是日本SONY，使用白色OLED及红、绿、蓝三色滤光片。
三星目标是2024年提供OLEDoS技术给母公司，期望分辨率达每英寸3,000画素（ppi），亮度10,000nit；LEDoS技术分辨率达6,000~7,000ppi。
苹果明年登场的首款MR设备，由SONY提供OLEDoS技术，外屏幕或指示灯为普通OLED面板，由LG Display提供。先前消息传出，LG Display准备为苹果开发OLEDoS技术，最近也开始开发LEDoS技术。（来源：科技新报）
