Microdisplay
A microdisplay is a kind of display that is compact and has a high resolution. It can be about one inch wide. It is usually flat and built on technology like LCOS or OLED.
Microdisplays can be used to make monocles, including monocles that use light field methods. Microdisplays can be used for light field displays because microdisplays have a pixel pitch that is very small.
The resolution of microdisplays is often very high. A microdisplay can be used as the display source in a microlens-based light field display of a small size.
Companies that provide microdisplays included eMagin, bought by Samsung.
History
