🖥️ Meta's new display could change the future of screens
LINK
|
- Meta has developed a 2 mm-thin flat laser display that uses a photonic integrated circuit and a mini LCoS panel to deliver brighter, higher-resolution images with a wider color range than conventional screens.
- The approach eliminates bulky optical components, but challenges remain, including laser speckle and inefficient power use since the display cannot adjust brightness locally.
- Once these hurdles are addressed, the technology could reshape the future of displays, enabling lighter and more immersive AR glasses as well as improving the performance of smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
