Market Dynamics:

Opportunity: Adoption of microdisplays in aerospace and defense sector

The microdisplay market is expected to grow in the near future owing to ongoing advancements and increasing adoption of microdisplays in aerospace and defense applications. Low-power OLED microdisplays are used in several applications, such as night-vision goggles, thermal imaging devices, situational awareness devices, and rifle scopes in the aerospace and defense sectors. The rise in demand for high-quality HUDs and HMDs from this sector is contributing to the adoption of advanced microdisplays. In December 2022, eMagin Corporation received an order of ~USD 1.7 million for high-brightness OLED microdisplays from Collins Aerospace for its F-35 Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS). eMagin Corporation received an order worth USD 4 million for displays in connection with the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle–Binocular (ENVG-B) program of the US Army. There is a significant increase in government contracts in the market; companies such as eMagin Corporation are working to replace LCDs currently being used by the US military with OLED displays. Increasing defense budgets of countries such as the US, China, India, and Japan and the flourishing global commercial aviation industry are expected to fuel the demand for microdisplays to be used in HUDs and HMDs in the next few years.

Challenge: Development of power-efficient microdisplays with high-resolution and brightness

Despite significant technological advancements in microdisplays over the last decade, some technical and usability issues exist, preventing microdisplays from being widely accepted in many demanding applications, especially VR HMDs. Developing microdisplays with compact form factors and achieving a wide field of view and high resolution is expected to be a key challenge for the manufacturers of microdisplays.
