It's common now to present Microled as the immediate succesor to LCOS and LCD for AR Applications. Display Daily recently managed to compose an entire article that managed to completely ignore OLED as a viable replacement for the legacy display systems. Like lurker said "It's a curse." More likely ignorance and the desire to be hailed as first to this great discovery. (might add, leading OLED display company is allergic to scrutiny and publicity).

So is Sculley right and microled is at least five years off? Even then. as we have found, there are speed bumps on the way to new technologies. This article seems to be less less sanguine about Microled's coronation as the "Next Big Thing." However, all look to Apple as the eventual titan of AR and if Apple says Microled than every other display technology rides in coach. Disinformation is not a foriegn concept to Apple. It's confusing. Mr. Lumus said "We could be using OLED now" in the Scoble interview. What a tangle. Flex at CES could provide some color. If not, it's SID in May. Let's hope Eric Lauriers is right about eMagin nailing down the go-to VR display. AR seems more problematic with Goliath's ability to surprise. Excerpt:

Most AR glasses since the launch of Google Glass back in 2013 have used a technology known as Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) for their displays. But other display technologies are apparently better suited for these devices. According to Digitimes and its research arm, microLED will become the "mainstream" display technology employed on future AR headsets. Even though others have used laser projection, there is a fear that the laser beams could damage the wearer's retinas. 

Based on the report, it would appear that AMOLED displays could be a major challenger to microLED. However, it seems that microLED screens have a lower latency, higher contrast  and a longer lifespan than AMOLED. They are also up to 30 times brighter than AMOLED displays. While it might be the best choice for AR glasses, there are some concerns about microLED.
