Virtual Retinal Display Market Analysis

The Virtual Retinal Display Market is expected to register a CAGR of 42.6% during the forecast period.

  • The retina display is highly secure and safe compared to other displays. Using a retina display, the user can control the intensity of the display through his voice. The adoption of this technology is making people easy to work in any environment without any security or privacy issues.
  • As the technology addresses the high eye strain caused by night vision goggles, the technology finds applications in the aerospace and defense sector. The applications are widespread in the healthcare sector and range from treating trauma to being used as an aid in cancer detection.
  • The virtual retinal display is highly efficient concerning power consumption, requiring far less power than the postage-stamp LCD screens used commonly in today's mobile devices. The gaming & entertainment industry application is driving the demand for the virtual retinal display market because this industry has been an early adopter of the technology and the demand created for augmented reality and virtual reality applications by users.
  • On the other hand, the need for more awareness about the virtual retinal display is expected to hamper the market's growth. The major problem with virtual retinal displays is they can cause motion sickness. These restraining factors are said to decline the market's growth.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is influencing society and the global economy. The closure of manufacturing facilities globally has resulted in a significant loss of revenue and business for the nations under lockdown. The pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the production and manufacturing processes. However, to fight COVID-19, companies have been actively investing in product development.

Virtual Retinal Display Industry Overview

The Virtual Display Market is becoming highly competitive, with multiple vendors expanding their product line to offer a broad portfolio of solutions. Vendors have been rolling out virtual retina displays with numerous product improvements and an expanding array of built-in capabilities. In order to capture higher customer mindshare, they are competing on technologies, pricing, and product support. Key players in the market are Avegant Corporation, Magic Leap Inc., QD Laser Co. Ltd, Texas Instruments Inc., OmniVision Technologies Inc., Himax Technologies Inc., Movidius Inc. (Intel Corporation), Analogix Semiconductor Inc., and many more.

In October 2022, TDK Corporation displayed smart glasses equipped with the world's smallest class ultra-compact full-color laser module (FCLM) under development by TDK. The FCLM was used as a critical component in the smart glasses. Through joint development with QD Laser, Inc., which possesses unique laser direct retinal projection technologies, TDK created a demonstration sample of the smart glasses capable of laser direct retinal projection for both eyes and around double the viewing angle of previous products. The laser direct retinal projection method makes images visible regardless of the viewer's eyesight. In January 2022, Microsoft and Magic Leap collaborated and will make inroads in business with augmented reality glasses. Both companies are further along than individuals realize with AR glasses for specialized uses, especially in healthcare and manufacturing. AR has so much potential in the medical industry that healthcare companies are working hard to develop their headsets or create systems for Hololens or Magic Leap glasses.

Virtual Retinal Display Market News

  • December 2022: Meta confirms that it plans to bring a Retina-resolution VR headset to product maturity. Quest Pro has ten percent more PPD than Meta Quest 2, according to Meta (22 vs. 20 PPD). The PPD value takes the screen and the optics into account and measures the number of pixels within 1° of the field of view. For comparison, the Retina's 'resolution' is around 60 PPD, which is also the value Meta is aiming In the summer, display researchers presented the Butterscotch prototype, which achieves 55 PPD, but only has half the field of view of Meta Quest 2.
  • December 2022: eMagin Corporation, a leader in developing, designing, and manufacturing high-resolution OLED microdisplays for AR/VR and other near-eye imaging products, announced its participation at the 10th International Congress on OCT and OCT Angiography. eMagin's displays offer a wide color gamut. High contrast, small form factors, and ultra-high resolution are ideal for medical applications. eMagin will demonstrate OLED microdisplays, including those used in ophthalmology applications like retinal surgery, imaging, diagnosis, and education, and suited for medical applications.
