Press Releases

The global microdisplays market is expected to witness a CAGR of 38.2% during the forecast period 2022-2030. High resolution, user-configurability technology, high pixel density, low power consumption, and compact size have led to the increasing use of microdisplays in military & defense, consumer electronics, and medical applications, resulting in significant growth of the global microdisplay market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for microdisplays in wearable devices, surging demand for AR devices in the medical field, rising demand for OLED microdisplays, increasing adoption of HMD in different industries, are the factors driving the growth of the global microdisplay market. However, high cost, low picture quality at high temperature, a saturation of markets for digital cameras and projectors are acting as a restraint that will hamper the growth of the microdisplays market. Nevertheless, the surging demand for medical displays, rising demand for near-to-eye (NTE) applications in consumer electronics such as head-mounted displays and smart glasses, and adoption of microdisplays in the aerospace and defense sector are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global microdisplay market.

The global microdisplays market refers to the market for small-sized displays with high pixel density that are used in various electronic devices, including head-mounted displays (HMDs), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, cameras, camcorders, and wearable devices. Microdisplays provide compact and high-resolution displays that can be integrated into these devices, offering a visual experience to the user.

Key Types of Microdisplays:

1. Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs): LCD microdisplays use liquid crystal technology to control the passage of light through pixels. They are known for their high resolution and color accuracy, making them suitable for applications like HMDs, cameras, and digital camcorders.

2. Organic Light-Emitting Diode Displays (OLEDs): OLED microdisplays use organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is applied. They offer high contrast ratios, wide viewing angles, and faster response times compared to LCDs. OLED microdisplays are commonly used in VR/AR devices, wearable devices, and near-eye displays.

3. Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) Displays: DMD microdisplays use a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device with an array of microscopic mirrors to reflect light. These displays are known for their high-speed response and are commonly used in projectors, near-eye displays, and automotive head-up displays (HUDs).

4. Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) Displays: LCOS microdisplays use liquid crystal technology on a silicon backplane to control light. They offer high resolution, high contrast ratios, and accurate color reproduction. LCOS microdisplays are used in applications like HMDs, projectors, and HUDs.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a complete lockdown along with social distancing norms resulting in a decrease in the demand for cameras/EVF, projectors, HUD, and HMD in the global microdisplay market due to some sectors such as consumer and automotive industries which are severely affected by the pandemic.
