VR Headsets Are Approaching the Eye’s Resolution Limits

Developers of micro-OLED and micro-LED displays for AR/VR headsets are focused on achieving higher pixel densities for greater resolution. Higher pixel densities would make visuals appear more lifelike and allow for more compact displays that reach the human resolution bar, at which a person with 20/20 vision no longer perceives any improvement.

Mojo Vision, a leader in micro-LED displays, recently demonstrated a full-color Micro-LED display frontplane with a density of 5,510 pixels per centimeter (14,000 pixels per inch). Apple’s Vision Pro, which has two displays packing over 23 million pixels. Varjo’s XR4 has two 3,840 x 3,744 displays and Pimax, is working on a headset with two 6K QLED mini-LED displays.
