June 2024, LG Display, which is an innovation-based company focused on display technologies, issued a thesis that it has commenced mass production of the world's first 13-inch Tandem OLED panel laptops.
February 2024, Kopin Corporation informed about another significant pending agreement as it reported receiving several new orders from multiple customers for its simulated thermal sights used in armored vehicle training systems totaling more than USD 3 million. These simulated thermal sights support the training of armored vehicle crews in integrated multi-platform mission trainers. According to the Company, the recent deployment of armored vehicles in multiple theaters increases the demand for more trainers and, consequently, directs the procurement of massive quantities of additional trainers.
January 2024: An augmented reality (AR) gadget that can be installed on the wearer's helmet, similar to the new Apple Vision Pro, has been introduced by the Japanese technology giant Sony. Dual controllers allow users to interact with three-dimensional objects and pinpoint operations. Additionally, the display has a see-through capability and a microdisplay that is a 4K OLED display for each eye. The stated objective of the business is to provide assistance to producers in the process of creating 3D content by using the headset. According to the press release issued by the business, the smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor.
It is equipped with a motion capture technology known as "mocopi" for motion tracking, as well as Spatial Reality Displays for the generation of "highly realistic" material. Ninety-six percent of the DCI-P3 color space is covered by the displays. For more natural interactions, its on-chip artificial intelligence enables users to spatially track virtual reality experiences and connect actual and digital places. Users are able to operate on things using the controllers and the keyboard while the device is positioned on the head. This is made possible by the ring controller.
"This spatial content creation system, equipped with an XR head-mounted display with 4K OLED Microdisplays and Sony's proprietary rendering technology, enables real-time, high-definition and realistic rendering of textures of 3D objects and facial expressions of human characters," the firm said in its announcement. It is equipped with a ring controller, as well as six cameras and sensors. In order to work on 3D models, it will provide support for third-party applications that create 3D models.
The display of the Sony headset has a "flip-up mechanism" that enables users to transition between the digital and real worlds without having to remove the item from their forehead. The XR headset will also get "immersive engineering capabilities" at the time of its introduction, which will be accomplished via the incorporation of the NX Immersive Designer software product.
June 2023: Kopin Corporation, an important technological milestone, has been developed with the superbright 2K x 2K monochrome MicroLED display. Micro-displays used in Augmented Reality (AR) apps must be highly bright for a user to view images clearly and crisply when using a smartphone in bright daylight and in applications that allow see-through. To meet demanding defensive and augmented reality applications, Kopin developed a one ′′ diagonal 2K x 2K MicroLED display (2048 × 2048 resolution).
May 2023: Sony Corporation and Astellas Pharma Inc. have entered into a joint research agreement to create a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)*1 platform for oncology using Sony’s patented polymeric material, “KIRAVIATM*2 Backbone*3”.
