Garmin Eyes HUD Glasses as MicroLED Tech Goes Real

RayNeo’s iO smart glasses prove microLED HUDs are now feasible: a 33-gram frame, up to 48 hours of typical use, 0.6mm monochrome green MicroLED in a waveguide with 97% eye-transparency and up to 1,300 nits, priced at $479 and shipping Sept 4; they show notifications, schedules, translations and teleprompter text with no camera. For Garmin, the underlying tech could enable a Varia Vision successor, but challenges remain for outdoor visibility, sport-specific software, controls, durability and prescription compatibility, while Engo currently leads the sports HUD space and RayNeo’s display tech aligns with or undercuts rivals on weight, battery life, and price.

LG Unveils Ultra-Stretchable OLED Screen for Futuristic Applications

LG has unveiled a new stretchable screen that can extend up to 50% of its original size, using a material similar to that in contact lenses. This microLED display is self-emitting and can be twisted and stretched over 10,000 times without losing image clarity. While its 100 ppi resolution is lower than current smartphone standards, LG envisions applications on irregular surfaces, such as clothing for real-time information. However, the high cost of microLED technology means consumer availability is still far off.

"Apple Abandons MicroLED Smartwatch Display Project, Sparks Job Cut Concerns"

Apple's plans for a future Apple Watch Ultra with a microLED display have reportedly been abandoned, following the cancellation of a long-running project to design its own smartwatch displays. The company had seen promise in microLED technology for its vibrancy, brightness, and power efficiency, and had aimed to eventually incorporate it into all its products. However, manufacturing partners involved in mass production tasks for microLED projects have reportedly lost contracts, leading to uncertainty about the future of microLED at Apple. While the company is said to be exploring potential new suppliers and processes, any new products utilizing microLED are likely years away.

"Apple Abandons MicroLED Display Development for Apple Watch, Cuts Jobs"

Apple has abandoned its plans to develop microLED displays for the Apple Watch Ultra due to the technology being too expensive and complex to design. The company is reorganizing its display engineering teams and laying off employees in the U.S. and Asia, with some being offered other roles within the company and others receiving severance. Apple will continue to use OLED display technology for the Apple Watch "for now," but is "eyeing microLED for other projects down the road."

"Apple Watch Ultra: Another Supplier Drops Out, MicroLED Project in Jeopardy"

The microLED Apple Watch Ultra project may have lost another key supplier, as manufacturing equipment company Kulicke & Soffa revealed that a "strategic customer" canceled a project related to advanced display technology, potentially linked to the microLED Apple Watch. This follows a similar move by Apple supplier AMS-Osram, indicating that at least two major suppliers are no longer involved. While some sources believe Apple has canceled the project, others suggest the company is seeking alternative suppliers. As a result, the microLED Apple Watch Ultra appears to remain several years away at a minimum.

"Report: Apple's Sudden U-Turn on Apple Watch Ultra 3"

Reports suggest that Apple may not have abandoned its plans for a microLED display on the Apple Watch Ultra, despite previous rumors. The potential benefits of microLED technology include enhanced brightness, color accuracy, longevity, and power efficiency. While a microLED smartwatch is expected within two months, it is likely to be from Tag Heuer rather than Apple. The rumored Apple Watch Ultra 3, expected in 2025, could be the first Apple Watch to feature a microLED screen, though the release timeline remains uncertain.

"Supply Constraints Push Back MicroLED Apple Watch Ultra Release"

Apple has delayed the release of the microLED version of the Apple Watch Ultra due to supply chain constraints, impacting the company's revenue. The cost of producing a 2.12-inch microLED display is reported to be $150, compared to $38 for the current OLED panel, making it four times higher. This delay could affect the planned launch of the microLED Apple Watch Ultra, which was previously rumored to arrive in 2026, and may also impact the future incorporation of microLED displays in other Apple products.
