Even the best available virtual reality headsets could be a lot better. Higher resolutions, higher refresh rates, reduced weight, and lower power consumption would all make VR experiences more immersive and convenient. Massachusetts-based wearable electronics manufacturer Kopin says its Lightning OLED microdisplays could make all of that happen. The company showed off a 2048×2048 1″-diagonal display at the Consumer Electronics Show with 2940 PPI that can operate at refresh rates up to 120Hz with 10- micro second latency. Kopin says future-generation OLED microdisplays could sport 3000×3000 or higher resolutions, and could fit into VR head-mounted displays with form factors closer to eyeglasses than to existing headsets.
