Why Transparent Displays Still Don't Work for AR Glasses
AR display analyst Karl Guttag explains why transparent OLED and MicroLED microdisplays still cannot deliver clear optical see-through AR, despite attempts from Fraunhofer, LusoVu, and Newsight Reality.
Guttag argues the fundamental focus problem facing transparent near-to-eye displays is unlikely to be solved soon. That raises a bigger question for the whole AR industry. Will any future advance in micro-optics, holographic elements, or new materials ever let a transparent microdisplay sit directly in front of the eye without darkening, distorting, or narrowing the real world view, or will optical AR always need indirect paths like waveguides instead?
