AR and VR Display Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing demand for OLED displays in AR and VR devices

OLED is an emerging display technology and has become the mainstream display technology in many markets. OLED displays do not require a backlight; thus, they are thinner and more efficient than LCD displays. OLED displays offer high picture quality, bright colors, infinite contrast, fast response rate, and wide viewing angles, making them ideal for AR and VR applications. OLED microdisplays are gaining momentum due to advanced features such as higher contrast, faster response time, lighter weight, compact size, negligible image smearing, and a wider operating temperature range than LCDs. They have outperformed conventional LCD and LCoS microdisplay technologies as they are widely used in EVFs and HMDs. In the consumer sector, OLED microdisplays are used in video and VR glasses and EVFs to facilitate search, navigation, and daily personal activities, while the defense sector targets AR helmets for pilots to resolve communication issues during the battle.

Restraint: Development of widescreen alternatives

Screenless displays are interactive projection technology developed to solve problems related to miniature electronic devices. Devices such as HMDs, HUDs, and AR and VR projectors are small in size; thus, the lack of space on screen-based displays provides an opportunity for the development of screenless displays. The growing advancements in virtual retinal display and holographic display are an imminent threat to AR and VR traditional displays. Projection technology has been evolving for a long time, and its usage has increased in the last decade. Full domes, planetariums, and many other applications utilize projection technology. The increasing adoption of interactive projectors in different verticals and the low cost of interactive projectors, compared with AR and VR devices, are among the factors propelling the growth of the projectors, which hinders the growth of the AR and VR market.

Opportunity: Surging adoption of AR technology for enterprise applications

The opportunities in enterprise applications are huge. Huge investments in AR and VR devices from enterprises for smart manufacturing will be a major driver for the growth of the market. Companies having factories at varied locations can use AR and employ a small number of engineers to manage large setups. Remote collaboration using AR technology to manage machines and other setups remotely would help manage enterprises effectively. Other important applications of AR in the enterprise vertical are with regard to the instructional use for technicians and other workers in enterprises. The use of head-up displays and smart helmets to understand blueprints and instructions to provide real-time data will help workers function efficiently.

Challenge: Developing user-friendly AR/VR systems

AR/VR technology suppliers and developers face the challenge of developing user-friendly AR/VR devices and tracking systems. A user-friendly virtual environment allows a user to easily navigate and interact with objects in the virtual environment. AR/VR systems are a combination of hardware and software components. AR/VR devices track a user’s movements through different sensors and array them on the virtual display. The development of AR/VR software and virtual content is a challenging task for developers as the virtual content displayed must satisfy the user’s needs.
