Plessey, the UK-based optoelectronic technology solutions provider, announced that it is going to demonstrate AR and VR glasses powered by Micro LEDs at CES 2019. Plessey’s Micro LEDs are put in action for AR applications with Vuzix, who has collaborated with Plessy in the development of Micro LED smart glasses.
According to Plessey, its Micro LEDs offer 10 times the resolution, 100 times the contrast ratio, and up to 1,000 times the luminance compared to traditional OLEDs. Furthermore, the device uses only half the power consumption, doubling battery life in portable headsets. Plessey was named a CES 2019 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Embedded Technologies category with its monolithic Micro LED displays for the smart glasses. Visitors to the Plessey booth at CES 2019 will be the first to experience the next generation wearable devices.
