eyescreen Microdisplays Deliver the Big Picture for Vuzix iWear

As one of the first commercially available ranges of video glasses, Vuzix iWear is using the eyescreen full-colour organic microdisplay from MicroEmissive Displays to deliver large-screen viewing experiences to its new AV230XL device.

The new video eyewear uses MED’s microdisplays, which are similar in size to the human pupil, to equal the visual effect of a conventional 44-inch TV screen. The glasses can be connected to almost any video device such as a personal video player, cellphone, PC, or game terminal, and will enrich the user experience on offer from innovations such as mobile TV, video telephony and virtual reality. The sub-$200 selling price will open up exciting video experiences to a broad consumer market.

“eyescreen has played a major role in enabling Vuzix to realise its vision and deliver this new addition to the iWear range successfully to the market,” said Bill Miller, CEO of MED. “This will create powerful new ways for people to enjoy many types of media and virtual reality, and I am delighted that MED has provided important technology to make it happen.”

The new AV230XL will allow consumers to experience the full richness of games and media wherever and whenever they like. MED’s advanced technology solutions and expertise with microdisplays has been critical to Vuzix achieving their product performance goals.

MED’s Polymer Organic LED (P-OLED) technology is crucial to achieving high visual performance with an ultra-small form factor and low power. With integrated driver ICs as well as a digital interface to the host system, the eyescreen microdisplay also solves important integration challenges for product designers and accelerates time to market.
